Why are Half of Indians Physically Inactive?

为什么一半的印度人不运动?

Half the Indian population does not get sufficient physical activity, according to a new study. The prevalence of inactivity is rising sharply in India from 22% in 2000 to 49% in 2022. If left unchecked, 60% Indians will be physically inactive by 2030. But India is not alone. One third of adults is physically unfit globally. Why is the world not exercising enough?

最近一项研究表明，一半的印度人没有进行足够的体育锻炼。在印度，不运动的患病率从2000年的22%急剧上升到2022年的49%。如果不加以控制，到2030年，60%的印度人将缺乏体育锻炼。

但印度并不孤单，全球有三分之一的成年人身体不健康。为什么全球人民都缺乏锻炼?

以下是印度网友的评论：

Motorbikes are a sin to India. Indians hardly walk.

对印度来说摩托车是代步工具，印度人几乎不愿意步行。

Thanks to corporate culture and the bad work culture, people lost time for themselves n their health....

由于企业文化和不良的工作文化，人们没有时间进行锻炼....

Number 1 reason - As soon as a working man or woman leaves office at designated 6pm or 7pm , they are shamed. No time. No freely accessible,  sports amenities, , if they are then its super expensive clubs for only rich & elites. Public swimming pools is like pee pool.

第一个原因是，一旦打工人在下午6点或7点离开办公室，他们就会感到羞耻。没有时间锻炼，没有免费的体育场馆，有的话，也只有给富人和精英的超级昂贵的俱乐部。公共游泳池就像尿池。

温度从38°到55°，健身房太热了，满头大汗，人们只想在空调房里凉快地待着。

I don't get time to exercise, after work all I get time for is to watch Firestopst and then comment and reply comments then prepare food, prepare for next day and sleep!

我没有时间锻炼，下班后我所有的时间就是看印度第一邮报，然后评论、回复评论，然后做饭，为第二天做好准备，然后睡觉

Cause majority of the Indian lovely to talk and argue rather than work it out.

大多数印度人喜欢谈论、争论，而不是解决问题。

We Indians better know that, its very hard to change our mind set and engage in daily physical activities

-- most us have excuses and prefers to pay for medicines. So i think its better to invest your money in pharma stocks.

我们印度人最好明白这一点，要改变我们的思维模式、参与日常体育活动是非常难的。我们大多数人都有借口，更愿意花钱买药。所以我认为你最好把钱投资在医药股上。

Just how many government parks or running lanes does india have ?? Dedicated running lane is the least government should provide and people should use it only for running.

印度到底有多少公园或跑步道？专用的跑步道是政府最起码应该提供的，人们应该只用来跑步。

This is a serious issue in India

在印度这是个严重的问题

ratantripathi5121

In Tier-2 cities there is lack of "public parks" to work out. Public parks should be available for each 2-3 colonies combinedly.

在二线城市，缺乏“公园”，每2-3个社区一个公园。

Their Parents did not tell them to do sports.

他们的父母没有告诉他们要锻炼。

You know when you are outside you get some type of special energy that you don't get indoors.  I can work for hours on my farm (in Texas) because it is near the Gulf and there is always a sea breeze.  Sometimes I am still working on the farm at 9 pm after the sun goes down.  It gets so dark because it is far from the city and there are very few people nearby.  Last week I took a trip to Redwoods National Park in the northern part of California.  I was jogging on the empty beach near Orick, California at 11pm at night.  It was so good to hear the ocean waves and breath in the cold night air when jogging.  It did not feel like exercise.  For the people that don't like to exercise, maybe because they are exercising indoors.  Just a theory.  In India I have a farm and in America I have a farm, and I love to be outside.

当你在室外时，你会获得某种特殊的能量，这是你在室内得不到的。

我可以在我的德克萨斯州农场工作几个小时，它靠近海湾，总是有海风。

有时，太阳下山后，晚上9点我还在农场工作。

一片漆黑是因为它离城市很远，附近的人也很少。

上周我去了加州北部的红杉国家公园。

晚上11点，我在加州奥里克附近空旷的海滩上慢跑。

慢跑的时候能听到海浪的声音，呼吸着夜晚寒冷的空气，感觉真是太好了，这感觉不像运动。

对于那些不喜欢运动的人来说，也许是因为他们在室内运动。这只是个理论。

在印度我有一个农场，在美国我也有一个农场，我喜欢户外活动。

From my personal experience, I can confidently declare that a combination of exercising and walking is vital for staying healthy, especially as the age advances. Spare one hour a day for both, so that you stay health for the other 23 hours!

从我个人的经验来看，我可以自信地说，锻炼和散步的结合对保持健康至关重要，尤其是随着年龄的增长。每天抽出一个小时做这两件事，这样你就能在剩下的23个小时里保持健康

It must be better in rural India...

印度农村的情况肯定更好…

parulgahlan

There are no places to do running or walking without constant fear of being hit by some vehicle in majority of cities…secondly north india is hot above 35C for more than 6 months…there is very small window for going out for running…also not everyone can afford a gym and commute to gym on daily basis…

在大多数城市，没有地方可以跑步或散步，担心被车辆撞到，其次，印度北部6个多月的气温都在35摄氏度以上，适合外出跑步的时间非常短，也不是每个人都有钱和时间每天去健身房。

No matter what, 1.5 hr work out 6days/week is a must for me

无论如何，每周6天，每次1.5小时的锻炼对我来说是必须的

olabsy

My excuse for today is it’s hot, so canned my Pilates class. I am on the active side for sure but my eating habit needs a lot more work. 35hrs a week on social media, no way that’s a full time job then.

我今天的借口是天气很热，所以取消了普拉提课。我当然是积极的，但我的饮食习惯需要改。每周花35小时在社交媒体上，那不可能是全职工作。

I am trying to be healthy and i have to wake up at 5am to do exercise otherwise i don't get time. Most people don't do that. Work is stressful and you need a strong willpower to make plans to exercise or even eat healthy.

我想保持健康，我必须在早上5点起床锻炼，否则我没有时间。大多数人做不到，工作压力很大，你需要坚强的意志力来制定锻炼计划，还有健康饮食。

Commute time in Indian cities take most of the time of the day. so wake up, work and sleep continues.

印度城市的通勤时间占据了一天的大部分时间。所以起床、工作、睡觉，日复一日。

每天工作15个小时，要避免奢侈生活，比如睡8小时，锻炼1小时。不然怎么做其他事情呢?
