People who exercise on work days are more productive, happier and suffer less stress than on non-gym days, scientists revealed. It also found that people's general mood improved on days of exercise but they became less calm on non-exercise days.
The research, published in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management, is the first of it's kind to prove that exercise during work hours has mental, as well as physical benefits.
On exercise days, people's mood significantly improved after exercising. Mood stayed about the same on days they didn't, with the exception of people's sense of calm which deteriorated. Critically, workers performed significantly better on exercise days and across all three areas we measured, known as mental-interpersonal, output and time demands.
People who built exercise into their workday were re-energised, calmer and more able to solve problems. This invention shows that regular exercise on work day generally well-known have many physical and mental health benefits.If people try to fit an active break into their working day, they might also experience the added bonus of their whole day feeling much more productive.
And that always feels good in our busy lives.
The study also begs the question whether employers can afford not to be encouraging active breaks. The suggestion is that employers who are ahead of the game in offering proper on-site facilities actually get less from their employees on days that they don't exercise.
