How to improve sperm quality through exercise?

Nowadays, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, and work pressure is also increasing, especially for male friends. They are usually busy with work and have no time to pay attention to their physical health, which will bring some diseases to themselves. For men who sit for a long time, it will cause some obstacles in fertility. Poor sperm quality is a common phenomenon, so how can exercise improve sperm quality? Let's take a look together.

1. Maintain proper exercise

Exercise not only helps you maintain a healthy body, but is also an effective way to reduce stress. Men who are under a lot of stress can consider exercising for 30-45 minutes every day. It should be noted that exercise should not cause fatigue, and loose clothing should be worn to help dissipate heat.

2. Vigorous exercise can reduce sperm density

During intense exercise, due to the huge energy consumption, even if the breathing is deeper and faster, it cannot meet the body's demand for oxygen. Glucose will undergo anaerobic fermentation in the absence of oxygen, and a large amount of acidic metabolites such as lactic acid will be produced. After these acidic metabolites enter the testicles through the blood circulation, they will cause oxidative stress and produce a large amount of active oxygen components in the semen.

Under normal circumstances, semen has a certain antioxidant capacity, but when the reactive oxygen in semen exceeds the antioxidant capacity of semen itself, it will have an adverse effect on sperm. Studies have shown that reactive oxygen can reduce sperm motility and sperm responsiveness, increase spermatogenic cell apoptosis, and reduce sperm density. When sperm quality is affected, the probability of conception will be reduced, and in severe cases, infertility may occur.

3. Which exercises can help produce good sperm?

1. Swimming: Swimming for half an hour every day can reduce the risk of prostate cancer. However, men who ride bicycles or do gymnastics for a long time have a 30% higher risk of prostate cancer than swimmers.

2. Jogging: Jogging is very beneficial to the male reproductive system. Jogging speeds up the blood circulation of the reproductive system and also has a massage effect on the prostate. The American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend that adults should do at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise 5 days a week, such as jogging, to improve sperm motility.

3. Walking: Walking for one hour every day helps maintain a balanced heart rate and is extremely beneficial to sperm health.

The above is a detailed answer to how to improve sperm quality. These exercises are common exercises in daily life. They can improve sperm quality. During the critical period of pregnancy, male friends must do more exercise, which can also play a role in strengthening the body. It is a very reasonable health care method.
