Scientists Claim Sport Fights Male Erectile Dysfunction

According to scientists, 60% of men 60+ suffer from type 2 diabetes; have cardiovascular problems and the most terrible thing: these men suffer from erectile dysfunction. Since 2000 there were about seven scientific studies. 505 men took part in them.

They were forced to train: some men trained only a couple of weeks, some men trained two years in a row. There were some who were forbidden to do any physical activity at all. The age of men in this experiment: from 43 to 69 years old.

All participants in the experiment were divided into 2 groups. The erection was measured using the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF):

• 5-7 points - things are quite bad;
• 7-22 points - normal;
• 22-25 points - great.

Results

Those who did exercises have increased the coefficient of ED by 3.85 points. The results of men, who didn’t train, remained the same. The scientist Dr. Landon explains: "Physical activity strengthens the muscles of the pelvic bottom. This prevents the appearance of ED.

The impact of sport on potency depends on its kind, regularity and difficulty of exercises, for example, professional or amateur level of occupations, and other factors, which will be discussed later.

Which Sport to Choose?

Being not satisfied with all the results, the scientists considered the following issue: how the men's potency is affected by different types of sports activities and here is the result of the research. It is considered effective to prevent or restore potency by running or walking.

Running is able to strengthen and restore the circulatory system, especially in the small pelvis. Doctors from the United States carried out extensive research and found that exercises on a bike can promote blood flow to the genitals of a man when training muscles that are responsible for the potency. In addition, to maintain good potency, doctors give recommendations to the men: jogging, jumping rope and swimming.

The important issue is that training, like fitness, is even more conducive to stimulating the production of testosterone and it affects potency, in comparison with swimming or marathon running.

However, it is impossible to compare the effect of power gymnastics with yoga. Since yoga is not only a physical exercise, but also a special system of nutrition, meditation and so on. Therefore, yoga positively affects the potency.

Exercises

Exercises from impotence should be aimed at strengthening the muscles of the pelvic bottom. These muscles are required to maintain the intestine and bladder.

These muscles pass from the coccyx to the pubic bone. To enhance potency, special exercises for the pelvic bottom have been developed. They allow you to ensure the flow of blood to the penis. Such a complex can be performed in any convenient position: lying, sitting or standing.

Exercises for erectile dysfunction in men are performed as follows: it is necessary to stand up straight, and set the legs apart. The whole point of exercise is in the tension of the muscles of the pelvic bottom, while it is necessary to try to stop the flow of urine.

If the exercise is performed correctly, the penis will move to the abdominal cavity, and the testicles will rise. It is important to keep the muscles in tension for as long as possible. With each exercise performed, the time of muscle tension should be increased.

The benefits of these exercises will only be if they are performed regularly. Exercise “bicycle” for impotence helps due to increase of the blood flow in the pelvic area. However, to achieve the desired effect, it must be done correctly. The legs are slightly bent at the knees. The movements should mimic cycling. At this time, hands should be placed along the body.

Effects of Drugs

Let's consider further, how the drugs which are applied by sportsmen for treatment of an erectile dysfunction influence it. Quite often, professional athletes use sports doping to improve their results. In particular, this trend has been widely developed in such sports as bodybuilding, powerlifting, as well as armwrestling.

The use of such drugs, for example, anabolic steroids, causes a decrease in the production of the body's sex hormone, which affects the reduction of potency.

If, once you refuse to use the steroid, the function of the testicles for the development of potency begins to recover over time, but in severe cases, the abuse of hormonal drugs can cause complete dysfunction and it will be impossible to regain the former state.

Do not confuse ordinary sports nutrition and heavy hormones. For example, the bodybuilders use protein - a powder mixture with high protein content. Proteins in a protein of good quality are of plant origin, so they have a positive effect on the body.

Sports and potency are inseparable concepts, but you need carefully choose the ways of sports. Sport perfectly strengthens health and especially the potency of men, if properly trained and do not overdo with training.
