February 1, 2012

Prepare your sneakers. Men who regularly perform endurance exercise (endurance) tend to have better sperm production.

This was evidenced in a study conducted researchers from Spain. They tested 31 healthy men who regularly exercise 2-4 times a week. When compared with men who rarely exercise, it turns out these guys sperm swim faster.

Why is that? Diana Vaamonde, Ph.D., who conducted this research explains that the exercise will stimulate the production of hormones such as testosterone are required to have seminal fluid and sperm cells healthy.

Nevertheless, the exercise should be done in moderation. Sports are too heavy with high intensity can actually cause a decrease in sperm quality in the age of 50 years. Sports are too extreme mentioned spending will stimulate the stress hormones like cortisol that can actually interfere with male sex hormones.

To keep the sperm count remained high, the recommended exercise duration is approximately 3-5 hours per week that are divided into several times.
