In the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, friends of male infertility patients often think that the quality of sperm can be improved through treatment. In fact, strengthening physical exercise and reasonable exercise can also help to improve sperm motility.
Dolores lamb, President of the American Society for reproduction, said: "exercise is a complex of healthy lifestyles and contributes to reproductive and sexual health." Hajizadeh Maleki B, et al. Published in July 2013 in the American Journal of andrology, analyzed the sperm of men with different exercise patterns to study the relationship between exercise and sperm quality. A total of 161 men were selected as the research objects, of whom 56 were sports athletes (4-5 days a week), 52 were people who liked to exercise (4-5 hours a week) and 53 were not. The results show that the sperm quality of men who prefer to exercise is the best. A sample test was conducted on 215 men in Yamaguchi University of Japan. They were divided into three groups, and they were given three kinds of intense exercises: high intensity, medium intensity and light weight. The results showed that the sperm motility of the men in the moderate intensity exercise group was the strongest. The so-called "moderate intensity exercise" should be based on one's own constitution. The easiest way to do this is to run for 5 minutes, and the back of your chest starts to sweat. This is the most suitable speed for moderate intensity exercise. Among them, 20-60 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as running, walking and cycling, is the best. The American Heart Association and the American Association of sports medicine, the two most authoritative health organizations in the United States, recommend that American adults should have at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical exercise five days a week. Moderate intensity aerobic exercise can be walking, jogging or other activities that can significantly accelerate the heart rate Sports. Gaskins AJ et al. Showed that they enrolled 189 men as the research subjects and investigated the relationship between exercise time and TV watching time and sperm quality through questionnaire. The results showed that the sperm quality of men who spent more than 15 h / week and spent less time watching TV had higher sperm quality.
From January 1987, oldereid n et al. Collected 312 male patients from infertile couples by using questionnaires. In addition to sperm deficiency and address change, 252 cases were analyzed in semen laboratory to study the possible relationship between lifestyle factors and male fertility. The results show that: high intensity physical exercise has a negative impact on testicular function. During strenuous exercise, due to the huge energy consumption, rapid breathing and unable to meet the body's oxygen demand, glucose will produce anaerobic fermentation in the state of hypoxia, and at the same time produce a large number of acid metabolites such as lactic acid. After these acidic metabolites enter testis with blood circulation, they will lead to oxidative stress and produce a large number of reactive oxygen species in semen.
Under normal circumstances, semen has a certain antioxidant capacity, but when the reactive oxygen species in semen exceeds its own antioxidant capacity, it will have adverse effects on sperm. Studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can reduce sperm motility and sperm reaction ability, increase spermatogenic cell apoptosis and decrease sperm density. After sperm quality is affected, the probability of pregnancy will be reduced, and severe cases may be infertility.
In a word, regular physical exercise can increase physical fitness, improve overall health, so as to change some internal changes in physical function and improve immune function. At the same time, exercise can improve the "testicular environment" and stimulate more healthy sperm production. Exercise can choose jogging, soft gymnastics, health exercises, swimming, Taijiquan and so on. Proper physical exercise can also help improve physical fitness and ensure the quality of sperm. Lack of exercise will lead to physical decline, thereby reducing the quality of sperm, and then affect the success rate and quality of pregnancy. However, too much exercise can also affect sperm. Before you plan to have a baby, it's best to make sure you're doing the right amount of exercise. Ensure that sperm motility is in the best state, naturally more likely to be successful pregnancy.
