Many people who avoid sports with a reason not to tired. In fact, when we feel lethargic and weak the best thing to do is exercise. Exercise is a great way to increase your energy and fight the feelings of fatigue.
A
person's energy level is generally dependent on various factors such as
genetics, nutrition, sleep behavior, and emotional anxiety. Some of these factors are generally difficult to control. But there is one factor that really you can control, namely sports. So, to increase energy levels, you have to spend time with exercise.
Why Exercise Increase Energy?
A
person's energy level depends on the ability of muscle tissue to
produce more energy, which in turn is also dependent on oxygen. Oxygen is carried throughout the body by the blood. When you exercise, your heart rate will increase. This situation will increase the flow of blood that carries oxygen and nutrients to all tissues. Increased
blood circulation also gives more oxygen to the brain, so that makes
you feel better both mentally alert and energetic.
In addition, if we exercise regularly, enzymes in the body will increase the use of glucose. This will help fight the damaged energy, so you have a strong immune system.
Researchers from the University of Georgia conducting research to assess the effect of exercise on increasing energy. The
first group are those who do aerobic exercise 20 minutes of moderate
intensity three times a week within a period of six weeks.
The second group did aerobic exercise with low intensity with the same time period. The third group, not exercising at all.
At the end of the study, both the first and second group of energy increased by 20 percent compared with the third group. The study is published in the Swiss medical journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatic.
Other studies from the Psychological Bulletin is also showed the results not much different. In
that study note that regular exercise can reduce fatigue and increase
energy, even among people who suffer from chronic medical conditions
such as cancer and heart disease.
