After heading on a jog while wearing a face mask, a 26-year-old man from Wuhan, China, ended up in the hospital with chest trouble.

After experiencing difficulties breathing, the jogger was transported to Wuhan Central Hospital, where he underwent significant surgery for a collapsed lung, according to the UK's Sun.&nbsp;

As per a report, even though the man was having difficulty in breathing, he ignored the signs and kept jogging. To make up for the loss of two months of lockdown, he pushed himself really hard to cover the distance of 6 km instead of 3 km.&nbsp;

The man's left lung had been compressed by 90%, forcing his heart to move to the right side of his body, according to doctors.

A collapsed lung is known as a pneumothorax, which occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing shortness of breath and potentially fatal complications.

Health officials believe the man’s lung burst because he was wearing a mask while running.

While wearing a mask while exercising may seem like a good idea, it comes with a number of drawbacks.

We breathe more air during exercising, which requires our lungs to work harder.

The flow of air into our lungs is restricted by the mask, making you feel breathless and exhausted.

Chinese man's lungs collapsed after running with facemask

While some run to boost their stamina, others do it to maintain overall well-being. But now people have got yet another reason as it is found that running is linked to significantly lower the risk of death from any cause.

The study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine stated if more people took up running, and they wouldn`t have to run far or fast, there would likely be substantial improvements in population health and longevity.

It`s not clear how good running is staving off the risk of death from any cause and particularly from cardiovascular disease and cancer, researchers said.

Nor is it clear how much running a person needs to do to reap these potential benefits, nor whether upping the frequency, duration, and pace, in other words, increasing the `dose`, might be even more advantageous.

To try and find out the same, researchers systematically reviewed relevant published research, conference presentations, and doctoral theses and dissertations in a broad range of academic databases.

They looked for studies on the association between running/jogging and the risk of death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

They found 14 suitable studies, involving 232,149 people, whose health had been tracked for between 5.5 and 35 years. During this time, 25,951 of the study participants died.

When the study data were pooled, any amount of running was associated with a 27 per cent lower risk of death from all causes for both sexes, compared with no running.

And it was associated with a 30 per cent lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, and a 23 per cent lower risk of death from cancer.

Even small `doses`, for example, once weekly or less, lasting less than 50 minutes each time, and at a speed below 6 miles (8 km) an hour, still seemed to be associated with significant health/longevity benefits.

So running for 25 minutes less than the recommended weekly duration of vigorous physical activity could reduce the risk of death. This makes running a potentially good option for those whose main obstacle to doing enough exercise is lack of time, suggest the researchers.

But upping `the dose` wasn`t associated with a further lowering of the risk of death from any cause, the analysis showed.

"Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity," researchers stated.

This is an observational study, and as such, can`t establish a cause.

Running may help you live longer: Study

Is there a way to run, stay fit, stretch and help the environment and society in a small way? Taking inspiration from Sweden's exercise trend 'Plocka Upp', people in Kerala's Kochi city are running while picking up litter.

Is there a way to run, stay fit, stretch and help the environment and society in a small way? Taking inspiration from Sweden's exercise trend 'Plocka Upp', people in Kerala's Kochi city are running while picking up litter. Ripu Daman Belvi, an engineer by qualification who used to work for an MNC and hails from Delhi has embarked on this ambitious pan-India "plogging" mission. The objective is to cover 50 Indian cities from the Southern end until up North, spreading awareness about ‘plogging’ and the importance of reducing single-use plastic usage to a bare minimum, while also ensuring that it is disposed of properly. The plogging run was started on September 5 in Kochi and has covered Madurai, Salem, Coimbatore, Puducherry, Chennai. It is slated to cover major cities across India ranging from Bangalore, Vijayawada, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Agra, all the way up to Jammu before it concludes in New Delhi. Speaking to WION Ripu said, “as a marathon runner I’ve seen how our cities look early in the mornings when there are fewer people and less vehicles, more plastic and trash is lying on our roads. This is what initiated me to work towards making it a cool practice to clean the trash that’s even left behind by other people. Firstly our city is our responsibility and it had to be firmly established in the minds of our fellow citizens.” ('Plogman of India' Ripu Daman Belvi in action.) "In our running group, we introduced plogging as a cool-down exercise after long-distance runs. Hence, it would serve as a slow jog and a cleanup. Using Facebook we connected to various running groups across the country and more people became aware of this. Initially, it was called ‘My city My responsibility’ and later we started calling ourselves ploggers of India, borrowing the term from a Swedish ultra-marathoner", Ripu added. So far their team has conducted over 300 plogging drives across 21 Indian cities with the aid of several Facebook groups that bring together runners in the respective cities. They also encourage participants to pledge to stop littering and move away from single-use plastic. On how this movement caught on with the public, Ripu said, “how much ever one speaks about cleanliness, it really materialises only when one bends down and picks up trash. It's not always about trash collection alone, disposal is the crucial part and we have partners who help us in recycling the plastic. We could also minimise our use of single-use plastics by reusing them to the maximum level. I have been on a ‘plastic upvaas’ (fast) over the last few weeks by ensuring that I don’t use products that come packaged in single-use plastics." "In the last week, we have collected hundreds of trash bags, over 400kg of waste and nearly 200 people have joined in at random from different cities. We also use reusable trash bags and gloves, some of the plastic trash we collect is also recycled into T-shirts by our partner company RElan. We plog anywhere from 7 hours to 15 hours a day depending on the conditions and later we (our team of two members) drive to the next city to carry on the work there. Sometimes there aren’t too many adults on weekdays, then kids surprise us by joining in for a short plogging run," Ripu said while discussing how the mission is progressing. With many fitness and lifestyle magazines having named plogging as a major trend of 2018, Ripu hopes to take it to the masses by plogging all the way, upto New Delhi where he aims to reach by the November 3.
