A British study published in the current American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that accumulating short bouts — just three minutes each — of brisk walking for a total of 30 minutes a day improved several measures of cardiac risk as effectively as one continuous 30-minute session

Bout wins sumo fans' favor, but for how long?

Quite a lot of zabuton cushions flew in the air on Sunday, when yokozuna (grand champion) Hakuho won the most exciting bout of the January Grand Sumo Tournament.
Hakuho and yokozuna Asashoryu had even records as they faced each other on the last day of the tournament.
It was the sort of dream bout sumo fans would give anything for. Cushion-throwing may be considered bad manners, but for the fans, it was simply a spontaneous demonstration of their pleasure and excitement.
Until the early years of the Showa Era (1926-1989), it is said that some fans threw not only their cushions but also the haori jackets they were wearing, while geisha untied their obiage belts and tossed them. I understand it was customary for novice wrestlers and sumo stable attendants to retrieve the jackets and belts and return them to their owners for a tip.
Cushions flew on the last day of the November Grand Sumo Tournament last year, too, but it was for an entirely different reason. Angry fans yelled, "Give us our money back."
What happened was this: Chiyotaikai, who was one of the top contenders for the championship, suddenly sat out the last day, so that Hakuho did not have to win his final bout to win the tournament.
This seemingly diminished Hakuho's fighting spirit, and he lost the bout. This anticlimactic end to the tournament so displeased the fans that they threw their cushions to make their disappointment known.
Sunday's bout was the first in 5 1/2 years in which two grand champions squared off with even records on the last day of the tournament.
They grappled with all their might, and Hakuho executed a powerful uwatenage overarm throw to defeat Asashoryu.
For Hakuho and Asashoryu fans alike, the throwing of the cushions must have represented their satisfaction with the outcome.
Yoshitaka Takahashi (1912-1995), a German literature scholar and a former chairman of the Yokozuna Promotion Council, once noted to the effect that it is fine for sumo wrestlers to be "scolded" by fans, but they should never make their fans angry. Takahashi argued that scoldings by fans are a sign of their true love of sumo.
The exciting, literally yokozuna-caliber bout on Sunday served to temporarily defuse fans' negative feelings about problems caused by Asashoryu's questionable behavior.
But a cloud still hangs over the sumo world as investigations continue into the death of a young wrestler.
The Nihon Sumo Kyokai is still walking a tight rope, amid the uncertainty that fans' "scoldings" could turn into "anger" at any moment.
