Al-Sadr and Health مقاله

It is known that the young child enters the Kuttab or school while his intellect and bodily organs have not yet reached their full limit of growth, and they do not grow properly unless they are exercised and trained. However, his sitting at his desk for many hours, day and night, and the engagement of his brain in a way that diverts his blood to it, along with his lack of physical exercise, all lead to weakness of the lungs and chest constriction, as well as the weakness of other organs. Dr. McLaren observed twelve men, aged between nineteen and twenty-eight, who trained their bodies for one hour every day for eight months; their chests expanded, and the average increase in their circumference reached about eight centimeters. Twenty-one students trained their bodies in a school for four and a half months, and the average increase in their circumference reached six centimeters. A man trained his body for a full year, and his chest circumference increased by 15 centimeters. Dr. Berry has indicated the optimal methods for this training, stating the following: If the methods of exercise that lead to strengthening the chest muscles do not suffice for the desired goal, then if you wish to expand your chest, stand upright, lift your head, pull your shoulders back as much as you can, and expel all the air from your chest by contracting its muscles and your abdominal muscles. Fast running is also useful for expanding the chest, as it requires the rapid purification of blood, causing it to pass more frequently through the lungs and bringing air into them for purification.
