A recent Finnish study showed that 10 minutes of vigorous exercise everyday is enough to prevent a child from becoming overweight, Finnish national broadcaster Yle reported last Wednesday.
芬兰国家广播电台Yle上周三报道称，芬兰最近的一项研究表明，每天10分钟的剧烈运动足以防止儿童超重。
The research conducted by the University of Eastern Finland was published on the latest issue of Sports Medicine.
由东芬兰大学进行的这项研究发表在了运动医学杂志的最新一期中。
A total of 410 children aged six to eight years from Kuopio, eastern Finland, participated in the study.
共有410名来自芬兰东部库奥皮奥的6至8岁儿童参加了这项研究。
Researchers examined the conditions of physical activity and physical inactivity among the children, and the impact on the children's amount of adipose tissue and endurance fitness.
研究人员检查了有体力活动和没有体力活动的儿童的情况，以及儿童的脂肪组织量和耐力的影响。
The study showed that children who did strenuous exercise for ten minutes every day had 26 percent to 30 percent less adipose tissue than their peers who were physically inactive.
研究显示，每天进行10分钟剧烈锻炼的儿童的脂肪组织比不锻炼的同龄人要少26％至30％。
Furthermore, even substituting 10 minutes of light physical activity for the equivalent time of passive sitting reduced the fat mass in children's body by 13 percent.
此外，即使以10分钟的轻体力活动替代同等时间的被动坐姿，也能使儿童身体的脂肪量减少13％。
Based on the results of the study, small changes in habits of physical activity could effectively affect children's weight control and endurance.
该研究结果还显示，身体活动习惯的微小变化可以有效地影响儿童的体重控制和耐力。
Increasing physical activity and reducing sitting time are important ways to prevent obesity and improve aerobic fitness during childhood, the study concluded.
