Jogging - jogingu (English spelling)

Japanese: ジョギング - じょぎんぐ(英語表記)jogging
Jogging - jogingu (English spelling)

A running style where you run slowly at your own pace while having fun, in order to maintain and improve your health and keep your body in good condition. It was previously done as a warm-up exercise for various sports, including boxing, but became popular in Europe and the US in the 1960s and 1970s. American physician Kenneth Cooper, who advocated aerobics, also argued from an exercise physiology perspective that jogging is good for maintaining and improving health and physical strength, and J.F. Fix theorized this in his book Jogging, which led to its popularity worldwide and a boom in Japan as well. People suspected of having lifestyle-related diseases (adult diseases) should be checked by a doctor before starting, and beginners should start by walking, gradually increasing the distance and time they run. The key is to avoid overdoing it and to enjoy running.

Japanese:

健康の維持・増進、身体のコンディションづくりのために、自分のペースで楽しみながらゆっくり走る走法。ボクシングをはじめ各種のスポーツの準備運動として従来も行われていたが、1960~70年代にかけて欧米で一般化した。エアロビクスの提唱者であるアメリカの医学者ケネス・クーパーも運動生理学上からジョギングが健康、体力の維持・増進に望ましいことを説き、J・F・フィックスがその著『ジョギング』でこれを理論づけたことにより、世界的に普及し、日本でもブームとなった。いわゆる生活習慣病(成人病)などの疑いのある人は始める前に医者のチェックが必要で、初心者は歩くことから始め、徐々に走る距離・時間を長くする。要は無理を戒め、楽しく走ることである。
