I always believe that exercise always helps one to do well in studies, work and sports. Tudor Bomba, The Father of Periodisation in Sports says that people with stamina training can recover much faster than those who don't, after a bout of intense training which has taken place a day before. 

I also believe that VO2 max or maximum oxygen uptake will sure rise or double up with exercise as compared to the same person not doing exercise. 

People's mental function will be good and moreover one will be able to achieve many things with a fit and healthy body. This all comes from exercise. People who say 'no time, no time' are going to regret over time in not getting the advantages of exercise. Certain cancers, heart problems plus high blood pressure will be prevented. Various studies have documented this.

With evidence from The Straits Times, Thursday, January 19 2012, we can see that it is true that exercise does help one in work. I have posted the news in this blog below. 

Picture 1 - Exercise 3 days per week will lead to higher pay: Study


 
London: Exercising not only trims the waistline but can bump up your pay packet too, scientists, said. 

Workers who go for a jog, swim or lift weights in the gym three times a week could increase their income by up to 9 per cent, a study has found. Even lighter forms of exercise such as regular walking can help boost salaries the Daily Mail reported. 

Bosses may regard employees who commit to regular activity as being more determined and dedicated personalities. Active and healthy staff members are also more likely to work harder because of the psychological and physical benefits of keeping fit. 

The study looked at two questionnaires in the United States involving more than 12,000 people, which outlined details about salaries and the number of exercise participants engaged in. 

The results showed that people who exercised three times a week could expect a salary between 6 per cent higher than those who do not, the Daily Mail reported. Those who exercised between one and three times a month enjoyed wages that were 5 per cent higher. 

"In addition to the positive impact on heart health, weight and other medical issues, studies show that exercise leads to improved mental function, psychological condition and higher energy levels. 

"All three of these traits can translate into higher earnings," said the report's author, Dr Vasilios Kosteas from Cleveland State University in Ohio.
