Properties of Running to improve sperm quality
Running has been found to have properties that can affect sperm quality
- Increased Sperm Count: Men who engage in regular physical exercise, such as running, may experience an increase in sperm count.
- Improved Sperm Motility: Regular exercise can lead to improved sperm motility, which is the ability of sperm to move efficiently.
- Better Sperm Morphology: The shape and size of sperm, known as morphology, can be positively influenced by moderate exercise, contributing to overall sperm health.
- Higher Semen Volume: Exercise routines like running can result in a higher volume of semen, which can play a role in fertility.
- Reduction in Oxidative Stress: Physical activity can increase levels of powerful antioxidant enzymes, which help protect sperm and reduce oxidative stress.
- Enhanced Fertility: Overall, men who run or engage in other vigorous forms of exercise for fifteen or more hours a week have higher concentrations of sperm, which can enhance fertility.
