Cardiovascular diseases are the most important causes of death in
the world today. In adults, the most frequent heart disease is
acute myocardial infarction, which can lead to sudden death. To
prevent these diseases we need to fight against their main risk
factors, which include smoking, lipid disorders, hypertension,
diabetes and a sedentary life-style, among others. It has been
demonstrated that physical exercise or sports at any age provide
notable benefits and can help to decrease other risk factors and
reduce the incidence of cardio vascular diseases. Exercise can be
simply walking or cycling. Aerobic exercise con tributes to weight
loss and also helps to control blood pressure, cholesterol and
diabetes. It therefore plays an important role in prevention of
heart diseases. Sports for young people are of great value and
advisable not only because they con tribute to physical fitness but
also because they help in psychological well-being. Young people
should be encouraged to include general exercise, and particularly
sports, into their daily activities. The following points however,
should be kept in mind: I. Although winning at a sport is
important, this is only so if it is achieved in natural physical
conditions and with the correct training. Therefore, it is
advisable to keep well away from any type of activity which
artificially increases physical performance, that is, drug taking."
