4 . At the end of a long day, it’s tempting to dive into your social feeds or Netflix queue the minute you've finished eating. But back before screens took up all our free time, an after-dinner walk was a popular activity. “Italians have been walking after meals for centuries,” says Loretta DiPietro, a professor at the George Washington University, “so it must be good.”
Research backs this up. One study co-authored by DiPietro found that when older adults at risk for type-2 diabetes (糖尿病) walked for 15 minutes after a meal, they had steady blood sugar levels in the hours afterwards. The human digestive system turns food into glucose (葡萄糖). After a meal, glucose floods a person’s bloodstream. Insulin (胰岛素) helps pull that glucose into cells. But for people with impaired insulin activity, too much glucose can remain in the blood, which can cause heart disease and other health problems.
What good does walking do? “The muscles we use to walk use glucose as energy, drawing it out of circulation and therefore reducing how much is floating around,” says Andrew Reynolds, a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Otago. Reynolds conducted a study of people with type-2 diabetes and found that just 10 minutes of walking after a meal helped control their blood sugar levels. “We saw the biggest differences with walking after dinner time,” compared to other times of the day, Reynolds says. “The production of insulin in response to a meal tends to decrease later in the day. Getting up and moving around at that time was very effective,” he says.
A little post-meal movement may also aid digestion. But more isn't necessarily better when it comes to post-eating exercise. “Exercising muscles pull more of the blood flow their way during activity, and the GI tract (消化道) gets relatively less,” says Sheri Colberg-Ochs, a researcher at Old Dominion University. “That actually slows down the digestion of food in your stomach during the activity. Anything but really intense exercise would probably work equally well.”
So make like the Italians and head out for a walk after your next meal. Your TV and the Internet will still be there when you get home.

5 . Though the Tokyo Olympic Games drew to a close on August 8, 2021, the public is still watching the athletes. Their outfits and the technologies that helped them in the competition have aroused people’s interest.
Su Bingtian, the first Chinese sprinter to reach an Olympic 100m final, has ascribed his breakthrough to scientific training. “It takes Su 47 steps to run 100 meters. Each step counts,” Liang Dong, a member of Su’s training team, told Shenzhen Evening News. “Randy Huntington, Su’s American coach and a biomechanics expert in track and field, has collected a lot of data on outstanding sprinters and built a database. He put in all of Su’s data and got a near-optimal model. When Su is training, the team uses high-speed cameras to record his training and compares it with the model to find out his weaknesses.”
Technology has also brought a new boost to table tennis. On July 27, the semifinal match between China’s Sun Yingsha and Japan’s Mima Ito was in full swing at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. You wouldn’t have guessed that besides players, referees and audiences, a powerful AI platform was monitoring the match.
Every serve, swing and movement of Mima Ito was captured by this AI cloud platform deployed in Tokyo. At an average speed of 100 Mbps, the data was transmitted to the technical team of the Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform,2,442 kilometers away from the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, according to The Paper.
The Tokyo Olympic Games have seen not only scientific support in training, but many high-end technologies in athletes’ devices. For example, the Kenya women’s volleyball team’s GPS devices fed data on each player’s strength, heart rate and so on to coaches, who used the information to prevent injury and personalize training plans for each individual, South China Morning Post reported.

8 . The use of technology reaches all areas of the school world, including the subject of Physical Education. But working at a distance and without going to the school may seem a little complicated. However, this selection of applications （apps）is ideal for bringing sports education out of school.
Munzee
A gaming app in which students participate through their smartphones. It consists of searching and catching 'munzee' throughout the city. The munzees are cards with a QR code（二维码）that the teacher will hide and that the students must find in order to obtain points and advance in the game. To play the game you only need a mobile device with GPS and Wi-Fi.
Activilandia
This app seeks to promote a balanced diet and the practice of physical exercise in children between 6 and 12 years of age. To this end, they have developed this virtual theme park to fight overweight. The game combines recreational and educational content to convey that with small changes in lifestyle great health benefits can be achieved.
FTT Radio
Motivation is part of the training: with a favorable mood, the performance of physical exercises becomes much more bearable and tiredness is less noticeable. Under this concept this app has been created, which contains a great amount of music with high energy to activate the body and the mind. In addition, it contains songs of all types to suit musical tastes.
Genius App Manager
It aims to encourage children to move around and to reduce the use of digital devices. It gives the possibility of having a parental control for adults to block some applications. It also offers functions such as setting time for homework, sleeping, eating or showering.

“No 7, Jobie Nymble, takes the lead,” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle (跨栏) and ...” Cheers broke out. “Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 100-meter hurdles!” The crowd went wild.
“County championships (锦标赛), here we come,” screamed Jobie, patting her green track spikes (钉鞋). They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday, we’re taking home the gold,” Jobie whispered to her spikes, excitedly retying them.
“Don’t forget, guys,” said Marisol, one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park.”
Next weekend couldn’t come soon enough. Jobie smiled with excitement all week long. At track practice, she leaped over those hurdles faster than she’d ever leaped before. And it wasn’t long before everything in her path was a hurdle: flowerpots in her front yard, sidewalk cracks on the way to the bus stop and even her little sister, Teka!
The day of Marisol’s party, Jobie put on her favorite outfit: her blue shorts, an old track T-shirt from her dad, and her lucky spikes. “Perfect.” She smiled at herself in the mirror.
The party was under way when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first, planning to do some practice.
“Jobie!” Two of Jobie’s teammates rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” they yelled. “You have to try the slide.”
Jobie looked toward the party area. Suddenly, she saw it. The biggest slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at unspeakable speeds. Without thinking twice, Jobie took off her spikes and dashed (猛冲) toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time, closed her eyes and let go.
Jobie couldn’t get enough. She tried again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she’d left her shoes.
