The physiological advantages of sports

 When we do sports the lungs become more flexible. A flexible lung can hold more oxygen when we breathe. This is very helpful especially when we are under stress because our lungs can support our system with more oxygen.

*The heart rate of the people who are in resting position is lower than the ones who do regular sports than the ones who do not. When the people who do regular sports are under stress, their heart rate stays at a lower rate than the ones who do not and they increase slowly. Whereas the heart rate of the people who are inactive may increase suddenly.

When a sudden fight starts or when we get a bad news, great amount of adrenalin hormones are released. As a result, the heart rate at the resting state increases. It will be easier to control the release rate of the adrenaline hormones and therefore control the increase or decrease of the heart rates.

The importance of controlling the low heart rates can be distinguished especially in a shock state. Low heart rates are a measure against a heart attack that may be caused by a sudden increase of the heart rates.

Besides, a person may stay calmer when his heart rates are lower under a stress and may control his feelings better.

*Endorphin hormones are released while doing sports. These hormones are generally released at least 30 minutes after we start doing sports. The function of endorphin in the body is similar to morphine. It is a natural painkiller and also sedative.

Adrenaline hormones may have been accumulated in the body at the end of a stressful day. It will be impossible for us to feel comfortable and calm when we have this hormone in an amount more than necessary.

Sports have no bad side effects for our health. On the contrary it has positive effects on it. In other words, both being less addicted to the medication and also the feeling of indulgence obtained from having a good time are the adequate reasons for us to do some sports at the end of the day.
