Who among us has not engaged in school physical education classes, as they say, under the lash. Sometimes the same is expected of former students and in many universities. It is believed that it is impossible to become healthier by force. However, American scientists were convinced that this is not true. Even compulsory exercise benefits people.

Previously, science has proven that people who play sports   voluntarily, provide your body with greater protection against diseases caused by stress. And in general, it will power a positive effect on mental health. But a team of scientists from Colorado headed by Benjamin Greenwood decided to find out, and will bring you exactly the same health benefits of forced physical activity.

Forcibly do sport   cause not only students, but also the military, as well as people who have a particular mode loads prescription (for example, victims of obesity). However, his suggestion Greenwood tested on laboratory rats. Within six weeks, some of the rodents were sedentary, while others engaged in jogging in a special cage.

This is often done so voluntarily and some were forced to employment. Measurements of the level of anxiety in rats have shown that regardless of the voluntary or involuntary exercise, they worked equally well on animals. Scientists do not doubt that the same effects have forced exercise on the human body.

So, as you do not engage in sports - either voluntarily or under duress - it's like talking to you for the good. (READ MORE)
