Benefits of running:
- Contributes to muscular resistance. Running involves a number of muscle groups. Therefore, while running, the muscles adapt to the effort and become stronger, explains Kat Campbell, a physiotherapist;
- Strengthens bones. “Running forces us to support two to three times our body weight. When we run, there is an increase in the formation of osteoclasts. This is a cell responsible for breaking down old bones so that new, stronger bones are remodeled. After running, we have an increase in the formation of osteoblasts, which helps our bones grow stronger than before”, he adds;
- Improves mental, social and emotional well-being. Jenna Nielsen, a therapist, explains that “running can lead to a reduction in stress and an increase in neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin”;
- Promotes overall health. It can “help you get quality sleep, control your weight and strengthen your immune system”, says the personal trainer. It is also capable of helping to reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and the risk of diabetes.
