Running
USC, CE
From Staff Reports
If you run for your health, yoi
may be surprised to learn jogginj
long distances may increase you
risk for developing upper respirat
ory infections.
Heavy runners, those who run a
least 17 miles a week, developet
more upper respiratory infection:
than moderate runners, those wh<
run fewer than 17 miles a week
according to a joint study by re
searchers at USC and the Center
for Disease Control in Atlanta.
The study is consistent with pre
vious research that shows long
strenuous amounts of exercise cai
have a negative impact on som<
components of the. body's immum
system, said Russell Pate, chair
man of USC's exercise science de
partment and a researcher in th<
_ running study.

The study wasn't designed to
discourage long distance running,
only to make runners aware of
risks, said co?researcher Carol
Macera, an associate professor in
USC's epidemiology and biostatistics
department.
"We don't know enough yet to
say, 'beware of strenuous running,'
but it's important for runners to
know the possibility of a link between
strenuous running and increased

Macera and Pate, in fact, encourage
running and other forms
of exercise. Runners as a group are
healthier than non-runners, they
say, averaging 1.2 colds per year,
which is half the number of colds
experienced by non-runners. And
regular exercise is a good way to
reduce the risk of heart disease,
control weight, increase energy, reduce
stress and live longer.
