1. There are even chess players

In sports circles, there is often a debate about whether chess or bridge can be categorized as a sport. By the definition of sport, it is ultimately a form of human activity aimed at improving physical fitness within a competition. If the competition is right, physical fitness in chess definitely diminishes mental fitness. However, there are arguments that chess also develops in a physical dimension. During long-running tournaments, skilled competitors can lose up to 2 kilograms. This is an effect of stress, a reduction in the amount of food consumed, but also a huge mental exhaustion rate.

2. A bird flies, a fish swims, a man runs

Running is the most natural form of movement known to man. The legendary Emil Zatopek, to emphasize the natural nature of this kind of activity, used to say "running in the summer, fish swimming, man running". This saying has become a staple in sports publicity, showing that as humans we were made to run. Running not only serves as a means of faster reaching a goal. The widespread application of running in sports stems from its universality.

3. Running improves the brain, and the brain works like muscle

We've known for a long time that running neutralizes stress and has a beneficial effect on well-being. It's all because of endorphins. But there's something else. The brain, according to scientific research, can disappear, just like the muscles. The electrical brain activity that occurs during exercise, improves thought processes and creativity. So it's no wonder, for example, that the chess players mentioned above have a mandatory schedule of running time.
