Sport practiced during the day allows a reduction in the time it takes to fall asleep and an improvement in the quality of sleep, particularly the deepest stage of sleep called "stage III". Indeed, it is thanks to the production of wellbeing hormones produced during the setting in movement of the body: the endorphins.

When you've had a sleepless night or a long day, it's hard to get motivated to go to the gym and you're more likely to just sit on your couch and watch Netflix. But contrary to what you might think, sports can help you get your energy back!

Physical effort stimulates the production of certain hormones, such as the endorphins we just mentioned, but also serotonin and testosterone. These stimulate energy and help reduce the feeling of fatigue.

Moreover, it may seem contradictory, but the more the body "tires" in efforts, the more resistant it will become. And on the contrary, inactivity will tend to maintain this feeling of fatigue over the long term. A study has shown that when the body loses the habit of soliciting its muscles, the fatigue produced by any unusual and important effort (such as climbing three flights of stairs or carrying groceries) will be amplified! And on the contrary, as Dr. Patrick Bacquaert, Chief Medical Officer of the Institute for Research on Well-Being, Medicine and Sport Health (IRBMS) explains, "burning calories stimulates our energy reserves, our heart and our hormones and "cleanses" the body. A sedentary lifestyle weakens muscles, reduces physical fitness and can lead to chronic diseases. Moving is like running a car to prevent it from clogging up.
So, the more we move, the easier it is to move and the less tired we are.

However, we remind you that you must listen to your body and not force yourself if you really don't want to.
