Study.They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire,which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity,and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years,a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died. Tennis came out on top in the pared with people sitting all day,those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time,followed by badminton(6.2 years),soccer(4.7 years),cycling (3.7 years),swimming(3.4 years),jogging (3.2 years)and health-club activities (1.5 years). Tennis likely took the top spot because "it's very interactive,"says study co-author Dr.James O'Keefe, a physician at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute."At every point you're talking.It's just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people,besides getting your exercise."But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier,better-educated people-who tend to be healthier to begin with-may be more likely to play tennis. Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits,O'Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection. O'Keefe,whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting,says he's even changed his own behavior because of the study:he and his family have taken up badminton.
