Sports not necessarily healthy If done with forced

Nothing deny that exercise is the main key for healthy living. But to make it more useful, make sure also that sports conducted with volunteer. Benefits can be reduced or lost if only because forced.

Thus the conclusion of Prof. Benjamin Greenwood, a psychologist from the University of Colorado who has done research about thing it. He said, sports that is done because forced can cause stress and eventually not again make healthy.

Prof Greenwood uses a group of test mice as his experiments material in the study it. Group of adult rats and which categorized healthy it further divided into three small groups and each treated differently.

The first group was maintained in a cage that has a waterwheel to rat run. The waterwheel it be ignored offhand, so the rats can use them at any time If indeed wanted to. Researchers recorded the duration and intensity of jog of the rat.

The next group is also maintained in a cage with a waterwheel to run, but it's not just spinning waterwheel used when rat run. Precisely of the waterwheel it deliberately rotated so that the rat was forced to run. The intensity and duration is made the same as the first group.

The third group was the most fortunate, because not commanded to sports at all. There is no waterwheel in the his cage so that the mice are just eating and not doing heavy physical activity except back and forth the his cage itself.

At the end of the study, three groups of mice undergoing another experiment to measure the level of stress and his anxiety. The trick with placing the mice in a the labyrinth. Normally rats will crawl the labyrinth, whereas if silent then to corner, it a sign of stress mice.

Evidently, the mice that doing sports voluntarily more actively explore the the labyrinth. A group of mice that sports forced, though with the same intensity with rats that sports with voluntarily, more a lot silent and to corner.
