英伦广角 高温比心脏病对长跑运动员打击更大（在线收听）

Long-distance runners may at times worry about their heart health while pounding out the miles. But a study finds that heat stroke fells many more runners than does a bum ticker.

长跑运动员在连续跑了数英里之后，有时可能会担心自己的心脏健康。但是一项研究发现相对于心脏不好，中暑能击倒更多的奔跑者。

Heat stroke can damage a person’s brain, heart, kidneys and muscles. And new data underscores the toll it takes.

中暑能伤害一个人的大脑，心脏，肾脏，和肌肉。而且少量数据还强调了中暑的巨大代价。

Researchers examined health records from more than 130,000 runners who competed in events in Tel Aviv during a seven-year span. The analysis revealed that distance runners were 10 times more likely to experience heat stroke than serious cardiac problems. You can find more 60-Second Health on chinavoa.com.

研究人员检查了7年中在特拉维夫市参加比赛的13万多运动员的健康档案。分析表明，长跑运动员中暑的机率要比患严重心脏病机率的多10倍。

All the fatal or life-threatening events were from heat stroke. The study is in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. [Lior Yankelson et al,Life-Threatening Events During Endurance Sports: Is Heat Stroke More Prevalent Than Arrhythmic Death?]

所有致命和危及生命的事件都来自中暑。这项研究被发表在《美国心脏病学会》杂志上。

The researchers advise runners to take 10 to 14 days to adjust to the climate before tackling a serious run in a hot region. And they say to sit out the run if you’ve been sick recently.

研究人员建议跑步者在炎热地区进行高强度跑步前，要提前花费10到14天去适应环境气候。并称，如果你最近生病了，就不要参加跑步比赛了。

Perhaps one day runners will swallow internal temperature sensors that reliably record core body temperature. But for now runners should simply do their best to keep cool.

也许有一天跑步者可以吞下内部温度传感器，那样可以更可靠的记录核心体温。但是现在的跑步者应该尽力保持冷静。——Dina Fine Maron
