The effect of having sex before exercise

Healthy living. The effect of having sex before exercise - Having sex before exercise is not recommended. Because it can cause a less fit body condition and muscles are too tired. But it seems it is no longer valid.

Reporting on Men's Health on Monday (9/7/2018), a study by scientists at California State University, San Marcos, United States confirms this and about early sex knowledge that is felt is also very important. 

They asked 12 participants to exercise in the form of lower body exercises in the morning after having sex compared to those who did not do it at night.

Study co-author Todd Astorino found that sex does not affect a man's ability to exercise weight movements during sports. During the five sets of two lower body exercises, the average body performance remains stable. Regardless of whether they had sex or not the night before. 

However, the data drawn from this study is very small.

"Our data will show that sex will not damage muscle strength when done within 12 hours of exercise in the gym," Astorino said.

"There are thoughts that testosterone levels may change before and after sex, which can change things like mood and performance," he says.

One study in China in 2003 found that a man's testosterone level would remain relatively stable in the days following ejaculation. However, if he can survive not doing it for a full week, his level will increase by nearly 45 percent on the seventh day. 

See the data above, so you do not have to worry anymore if you will have sex before exercising. Because it does not affect the intensity of your exercise during your healthy condition.
