o
Regular exercise
enhances improved relaxation and sleep,
which are indicators of a beneficial effect on the
nervous system.
o Regular
and proper
exercise establishes a better equilibrium
between the oxygen required by the tissues,
particularly muscle
tissues and the oxygen made available during
metabolism.
o
It helps to improve
the rate of digestion and elimination of
waste products in the body.
o It
tones up
glandular systems. Noticeable increased output of
the thyroid gland is an important factor in the
metabolic charges
associated with exercise.
o Regular
exercise increases body (fluid) alkali. The margin
of
safety provided by the high alkaline reserve of a
physiologically fit
individual could well be the margin of survival in
case of injury or
severe extended illness.
o Exercise
has both mental and emotional values such as self
expression, self-confidence and self-status of
acceptance; it's a
vehicle for effective and enjoyable living.
o Subjective
evidences exist to show that the learning process is
enhanced by regular exercise. Better mental
performance has
been recorded for some individuals.
NOTE:
All these can be achieved when the exercise is well
managed |
