b'The Stanford University study titled \\u201cReduced Disability and Mortality among aging runners\\u201d was published in the August 11th, 2008 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine. \\xa0At the time that the study was conducted: the assumption was that vigorous exercise would cause older people more harm than good. \\xa0The expectation was that running would lead to an excess in orthopedic injuries and lead to earlier disability with runners over 50.\\nBut the researches found that regular exercise would extend high-quality, disability free life. \\xa0Frequent running would compress the period at the end of life when people couldn\\u2019t do things on their own. \\xa0This is an idea that has been given the name \\u201ccompression of morbidity\\u201d.\\xa0\\nIn this episode of Phedippidations, I\\u2019ll talk about both the clinical details of this study AND the significance of it\\u2019s findings, leading to the obvious conclusion that Life is Short, but it Should be Long Enough! \\xa0\\nShow Links:\\nhttp://www.runningthenarrowpath.blogspot.com\\nhttp://planettinkoff.com\\nhttp://worldwidefestivalofraces.com\\nhttp://www.iamplify.com/store/product_details/Rabbi-Shmuley-Boteach/Afterlife-Debate-With-Christopher-Hitchens/product_id/8621\\nwww.audiblepodcast.com/phedi\\nThe song \\u201cOne Monkey Don\\u2019t Stop the Show\\u201d by Brick Daniels http://brickdaniels.com'
