Do you have this experience? If you don’t run for a few days, you will become sleepy and have no spirit to do things

.

Some people will even feel worse and more anxious and impatient

.

Only when you run can you feel better and feel comfortable all over

.

At the beginning, Xiaobian also felt that it was the power of self-control and habit, but after understanding a word – Sports addiction, I knew that the answer was not necessarily

.

According to the BBC, doctors have pointed out that sports addiction affects about 3% of the population, even as high as 10% of runners, and this group is becoming larger and larger

.

Valerie Stephen is a veteran runner who has been running for 10 years

.

From 5km to 10km to marathon, running has become a top priority for her

.

This is reflected in the fact that she must first run every morning, and must complete a certain number of kilometers in order to settle down to do other things

.

A little less exercise would make her very uncomfortable: “when I can’t train, I feel very anxious

.

I can’t sleep

.

I have a headache

.

One day when I can’t go out to exercise, I feel like I’m trapped in prison

.

” “I’m not exercising, it’s exercising that controls me.” “I refresh the data of steps, exercise volume and training progress at any time every day.” This compulsive persistence made Valerie depressed, tired and even unable to work

.

She began to be seen as “a little crazy” by people

.

Her work, family, interpersonal relationship and almost all aspects of her life were affected

.

Exercise is good for body and mind, but too much is better than too much

.

Psychologists point out that sports addiction is a kind of behavior addiction, that is, people’s behavior becomes addictive, obsessive-compulsive, and even causes the disorder of personal life

.

Addicted people exercise to avoid guilt and reduce anxiety, not really for exercise itself

.

What causes sports addiction? Studies have found that exercise can stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, make people excited, and promote the production of endorphins, which play the role of pleasant messenger in the human body

.

Endorphin is known as “happiness hormone” or “youth hormone”, which stimulates the body and mind to be in a relaxed and happy state, and can help people relieve pressure and unhappiness

.

Especially when long-term, continuous and high-intensity exercise, glycogen in the muscle is exhausted and only oxygen is left, the pituitary gland will also secrete a large amount of this substance, which can also make people addicted

.

But dongniu should emphasize that not all people who love sports are addicted! Most people who love sports can control their sports behavior

.

But if you think that exercise is more important than family, work and communication with friends, you don’t hesitate to play truant to exercise

.

Even if you are sick or tired, you are not willing to stop exercising

.

It’s a bit dangerous to ignore the advice of friends and family! The following performance, need to pay attention to: 1, single form of exercise, resulting in daily physical activity to form a fixed schedule

.

For example, some people like to run at the same time every day, so after forming the habit, they should stick to it regardless of their physical condition

.

.

In order to ensure the movement, gradually put exercise in the priority of other affairs, the rest of the life made a mess

.

3

.

Exercisers gradually increase their tolerance to large amount of exercise, which leads to the cycle of repeated exercise

.

This is easy to appear in bodybuilding exercise, due to the long time of mechanized exercise, physiological dependence

.

.

Once regular exercise stops, there will be a signal of mood disorder; once exercise is resumed, the disorder will be alleviated or disappeared, and a “vicious circle” will appear

.

5

.

They are only interested in sports, choose to exercise alone, and believe that insisting on sports will bring some improvement

.

Excessive exercise will not only make your spirit in a sub-health state for a long time, weaken the function of the immune system, but also bring harm to the body, including stress fracture, tendinitis and low immune system function

.

Women who exercise excessively will have the risk of “female athlete triad”, such as eating disorders, amenorrhea and early-onset osteoporosis

.

For men, too much exercise reduces libido

.

To avoid sports addiction, we should adjust it psychologically and physiologically

.

Don’t expect too much to change your figure through exercise, then make a reasonable fitness plan, choose various forms of exercise, and don’t rely too much on a single and simple form of exercise

.

We must be realistic, give ourselves flexibility, tell ourselves that “it’s not good not to train today, but it’s not the worst thing in the world”, and realize that “just because I don’t exercise, I won’t be a useless loser”

.

Life is the same as running

.

If you want to make progress, running hard is on the one hand, on the other hand, you should learn to let go

.

We can’t stick to the trend of straight rise

.

We should know that progress is the most stable in twists and turns

.

It’s good to stick to the movement, but remember, don’t let your real self be kidnapped by the “perfectionism” in the movement
