69、terested in sports. And according to high school officials across the country, the situation is not getting better, based on a recent study claiming that high school student fitness has declined steadily for the last twenty-five years. This has put many high schools in a dilemma: they want students
70、to become more fit, but they also fear that strenuous(剧烈的) exercise may harm their unfit students. As a result, a number of high schools have cancelled long-distance running as part of their sports meetings, saying the races were cancelled because of lack of interest, but in the back of their minds,
71、 they must have also been thinking of the forty students in China between 2002 and 2010 who died suddenly after running long-distance races. Long-distance running is not for the casual jogger.

72、have trouble running 1000 meters without huffing and puffing (气喘吁吁). Five thousand meters, for them, is just a race too far. But by cancelling the race, high schools are sending mixed signals about fitness to their students: get fit, but dont sweat. Some people show their understanding towards the c

77、ing about the harmful effects of strenuous(剧烈的) exercise. After reading the story, I was totally shocked. I think it unwise for high schools to cancel long distance running at their sports meets, which wont help prevent the decline of students fitness but worsen it. As far as I am concerned, there i
78、s no fitness without sweat. Students cant get fit sitting in front of a computer or chatting in the dining hall. They have to get up and move. Theyre goingto have to use their muscles, hearts and lungs to make their body stronger. Any sport will help them do this, including long distance race. Actua
79、lly, long distance running is a quite good sport for keeping fit as long as it is done regularly and scientifically. Take my friend, John for example. He used to be over-weight but running regularly burns his fat, builds his muscles and strengthens his heart and lung. Besides, he stays more focused
80、and learns more effectively. To improve students fitness, I strongly recommend high schools assign less homework to offer students more time to do exercise. In addition, not only are students encouraged to take various sports but also given appropriate instructions to avoid sports injuries. In short, playing enough sports is the only way to improve students health and we should never refuse to do so for fear of running a risk.
