This article explores whether sexual activity can count as exercise. Experts weigh in on the physical benefits and drawbacks, comparing it to moderate-intensity activities like dancing and walking. While sex does elevate heart rate and burn calories, its duration and frequency may not be sufficient for significant, lasting physiological changes compared to regular workouts.
Marami ang lubhang abala sa kanilang trabaho kaya wala nang panahon na alagaan ang kalusugan at mag-ehersisyo. Gayunman, sa kabila ng pagiging busy, naisisingit naman kahit papaano ang "sexy time" kasama ang "the one." Pero puwede kayang ituring na ehersisyo na rin ang pagtatalik?
Dahil sa mas nagiging mataas na heart rate at mabilis na paghinga kapag nakikipagtalik, maaari na bang ituring na workout ang sex?"Since there is a physical movement, sexual activity can count as a workout, but its impact depends on factors like intensity, duration, and the individual's physical condition,” pahayag ni Assoc. Prof. Donald Manlapaz, isang physical therapist at Doctor of Philosophy sa Physiotherapy, sa panayam ng GMA News Online.
Isa sa paraan ng pagsukat ng ehersisyo ay ang METs — metabolic equivalent of task — o kung gaano karaming enerhiya o lakas ang nauubos sa isang pisikal na aktibidad. Idinagdag ni Dr. Hubert, na nagdudulot ng paglabas ng endorphins at dopamine ang pagtatalik, ang happy hormone, na maaaring magdulot ng maayos na pagkalahatang pakiramdam.
Upang maiwasan na magka-injury, tratuhin ang pagtatalik tulad ng anumang workout: Mag-stretch bago magsimula, makipag-usap sa partner, at alamin ang mga limitasyon. At kung may hindi maganda sa pakiramdam, makinig sa katawan at magpahinga. Ang calories na nasusunog habang nakikipagtalik ay nag-iiba depende sa mga factor tulad ng fitness level, ang posisyon, intensity ng aktibidad, at tagal nito.
Inirerekomenda ng sports scientist ang pagpili ng mga muscle-strengthening activities na tumututok sa lahat ng pangunahing grupo ng kalamnan sa moderate o mas mataas na intensity nang hindi bababa sa dalawang beses sa isang linggo. Sa paraang ito, makukuha ang pinakamalaking benepisyo mula sa ehersisyo.
