[quote]CHICAGO (Reuters) - Sudden bursts of moderate to intense physical activity -- such as jogging or having sex -- significantly increase the risk of having a [URL="http://www.wtkr.com/topic/health/physical-conditions/heart-attack-HEISY000062.topic"]heart attack[/URL], especially in people who do not get regular exercise, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.
Doctors have long known that physical activity can cause serious [URL="http://www.wtkr.com/topic/health/physical-conditions/heart-problems-HEPHC0000056.topic"]heart problems[/URL], but the new study helps to quantify that risk, Dr. Issa Dahabreh of Tufts Medical Center in Boston, whose study appears in the Journal of the [URL="http://www.wtkr.com/topic/health/drugs-medicines/american-medical-association-ORCIG000016.topic"]American Medical Association[/URL].
The team analyzed data from 14 studies looking at the link between exercise, sex and the risk of heart attacks or sudden cardiac death -- a lethal heart rhythm that causes [URL="http://www.wtkr.com/topic/health/human-body/heart-circulatory-system-HHA000028.topic"]the heart[/URL] to stop circulating blood.
They found people are 3.5 times more likely to get a heart attack or have sudden cardiac death when they are exercising compared to when they are not.
And they are 2.7 times more likely to get a heart attack when they are having sex or immediately afterward compared with when they are not. (These findings do not apply to sudden cardiac death because there were no studies looking at the link between sex and cardiac death.)
Jessica Paulus, another Tufts researcher who worked on the study, said the risk is fairly high as such studies go. But the period of increased risk is brief.
"These elevated risks are only for a short period of time (1 to 2 hours) during and after the physical or sexual activity," Paulus said in a telephone interview.
Because of that, the risk to individuals over the course of a year is still quite small, she said.
"If you take 10,000 people, each individual session of physical or sexual activity per week can be associated with an increase of 1 to 2 cases of heart attack or sudden cardiac death per year," Paulus said.
She said it is important to balance the findings with other studies showing that regular physical activity reduces the risk of heart attacks and sudden cardiac death by 30 percent.
"What we really don't want to do is for the public to walk away from this and think exercise is bad," she said.
What it does mean is that people who do not exercise regularly need to start any exercise program slowly, gradually increasing the intensity of the workout over time.[/quote]
Well at least Facepunch is safe.
Shit, I didn't realize I was dead. Well, guys, it's been nice knowing you.
Didn't a politician back in the 1700s die from oversexing?

Eh? I thought this was a given.
Yes jogging and having sex is bad for you don't do it.
So can a prostitute charge for a doctor-assisted suicide then?
:fox: TONIGHT AT 11, SEX IS KILLING OUR CHILDREN. ARE YOU AT RISK? :fox:
I recall this being posted a few months back.
best death ever
There's actually a Spanish term for this type of death. I don't remember exactly what, though.

Yea. Some guy named Franklin.
this is very old
in fact i remember the joke i made
"well this sure gives a new meaning to the song i just died in your arms tonight!"
uh oh
god this is stupid
EVERYONE REMAIN CALM
NOT REMAINING CALM CAN INCREASE HEART SPEED AND LEAD TO HEART ATTACKS
BE SURE TO LIFT YOUR LIMBS EXTREMELY SLOWLY, OR RISK GETTING A HEART ATTACK
well, i'm safe. :saddowns:
This just in: Physical activity can KILL YOU!
This just in: A lack of physical activity can KILL YOU!
Fuck it, I'll do what I want.
You misread.
A SUDDEN burst of physical activity can kill you if you don't get regular exercise
So either stop being a fatass or just warm up before breaking into a sprint
It says if you're not used to it, though.
If you're having regular sex with a stable partner rather than a few scattered one-night-stands every now and again surely it negates that.
Its more the physical activity bit of it and the fact that it increases your heart rate. Even if you don't get a lot of sex, if you jog regularly you'll have no problems.
It's just saying spurts of activity in a lazy person is bad. This is a known fact. So... if you want to fuck, don't be lazy.

or don't and scare the shit out of your partner when you heart attack on top of them.
well no shit
didn't some french president die from sexing
Didn't this happen in San Andreas? If you were too fat and started running you had a heart attack?
Well, at least the majority of facepunch will be okay

snoo snoo
Having sex, blowing your nose, taking a hard shit, and a few other things can increase the risk of an aneurysm. So maybe this article is half-right.
