Sports, Key Sperm Health

About one out of three couples who
have problems with fertility trace
the origin of the problem is the
quality of cement. For that, the
men were given a suggestion to
produce healthy sperm. Among
them, eat healthy, normal weight,

avoiding alcohol and cigarettes,
away from drugs such as blood
pressure and depression.
Researchers who published
research in the journal
Reproduction find another lifestyle
change that is not less important.
Sport also helps improve sperm
quality.

In the study, Behzad Maleki of the
Justus-Liebig University Germany,
and colleagues recruited 280
sedentary middle-aged men and
randomly assigned to one of three
exercise or no exercise. They
were followed for six months.

Researchers wanted to see the
different effects of each type of
sport and intensity of activity on
the quality and quantity of sperm.

One group that is exercising with
moderate levels of walking or
jogging on a treadmill. The second
group did the same protocol with a
higher intensity. The third group of
high-intensity exercise on a
treadmill with a short interval.

Compared with the control group
who did not exercise, all the men
who carry out physical activity
program showed improvements
vary the size of sperm.

After six months, they showed less
DNA damage, sperm shape a
healthier and levels of the stress
factors of metabolic lower. They
also showed a higher amount of
sperm precursor.

"This research according to which
we think about the effects of
exercise," says Dr. Peter Schlegel,
vice president of the American
Society of Reproductive Medicine
and chairman of urology at New
York Presbyterian / Weill Cornell
Medical Center.

"But this study proves the better,"
he continued. He noted previous
studies did not randomly assign
people to the sport, and compare
the results with sperm quality.
Other research only examined the
sperm in men who reported that
they usually sport.

In this new study of men with
moderate exercise intensity, the
most well proven to show
improvement compared to men of
the two groups of intensive
exercise.

Unclear why, part of the reason
may be related to the fact the
extreme sports that actually
creates body heat is not good for
sperm health.

For marathon athletes or those who
train intensively, looking for a way
to channel the heat energy is a
major concern.

Schlegel also said that regular
exercise can improve blood
circulation and make blood
vessels more healthy and so
beneficial to the testicles, organs
that are sensitive and need good
blood flow.

Sports in general also helpful to
improve reproductive health since
the men who exercise lost weight,
lowering body fat levels and
improve their fitness levels.
Fat tissue is associated with
metabolic stress compound
content is higher. Therefore, to
lose weight and become more fit
may create more comfortable
conditions for sperm and improve
the quality and volume.

There are many reasons to
exercise. Now the man who
wanted to have children it's good
to wake up in the morning and
exercise.
