Motivated by the celebration of World Sports Day in the following post we would like to make special emphasis on the importance of the various sports practices in our mental and physical health. According to CMD Sports, Spain is the fourth European country with the highest rate of sedentary lifestyle. Although sporting activity has increased by 6.1% in the last five years, less than half of the population between 25 and 44 years of age practices sport between one and four days a week.

ASICS Mind Race: "just one week of inactivity significantly reduces our mood".

We echo the latest experiment published by the Japanese firm that valor the importance of any type of physical activity in our health. In this study, ASICS groups people who exercise regularly to make them interrupt their physical routine for a week, the results?

  • 23% increase in stress
  • 20% decrease in confidence
  • 16% decrease in positivity
  • 23% less energy

Thus, it follows that the impact on mental state after a week without exercise is equivalent to that of a week of interrupted sleep, and that 15:09 minutes of physical activity per day can trigger an improvement in our mental health.
