Abstract

Različite su meta-analize dovele do mnogobrojnih epidemioloških dokaza o povoljnom utjecaju regularne tjelovježbe na prevenciju i liječenje ne samo kardiovaskularnih bolesti nego i mnogih drugih bolesti današnjice. Iako se važnost lijekova u liječenju kardiovaskularnih bolesti ne može zanemariti, neosporan je i dugoročno štetan utjecaj konzumacije istih, popraćen velikim financijskim teretom. Tjelovježba uistinu ima velik utjecaj na kontrolu rizičnih čimbenika kardiovaskularnih bolesti te važna terapeutska svojstva u njihovom liječenju. Iako u uznapredovalom stadiju bolesti tjelovježba ne može parirati koktelu lijekova, čari regularne tjelovježbe leže najprije u prevenciji pojave bolesti. Stoga dok ne izumimo lijekove bez nuspojava, magičnu pilulu kao alternativu tjelovježbi ili otkrijemo nepresušan izvor vječne mladosti, držimo se one stare : „Bolje spriječiti nego liječiti“.

Abstract (english)

Different meta-analyses have given us many epidemiological evidence on the beneficial effects of regular exercise in prevention and treatment of not only cardiovascular diseases but also many other conditions. Of course, we can not overlook the importance of medications in the cardiovascular diseases treatment, but on the other hand we must acknowledge its long term deleterious impact on human health. Furthermore, medications go hand to hand with financial baggage. Exercise has beneficial effects in reducing risk factors and in therapeutic role in the cardiovascular diseases treatment. In the progressive disease treatment, medication cocktail will have a bigger role, but the importance of exercise lies in its prevention ability. So until we invent non-harmful medications, magic exercise pill or stumble upon a fountain of youth, we should abide to : „Better safe then sorry“.
