There is a science behind people’s love for sport. Sport is not only a hobby. It is backed up by a plethora of chemical activities in your body that make you crave the activity. It all boils down to a hormone called adrenaline. It is released by our adrenal glands usually in really stressful situations, thus getting the name ‘fight or flight’ hormone. What it does is speed up all of our normal body functions, starting with our heart beating faster, making the blood flow faster to wherever it is needed. Along with adrenaline, the body releases other hormones that flow faster through the blood vessels thanks to adrenaline, some of them being the hormone of happiness - serotonin and the natural pain-reliever, the hormone endorphin. This heady mix of hormones is what makes these activities worthwhile to the so called adrenaline junkies. Of course, there is also the knowledge that the love for whatever sport you may be practicing is shared with other 7 billion people. The adrenaline further helps you stabilize other hormones in your body, making you feel centered and calm. So next time when you decide to shoot the ball or fight against the water inside the public pool, remember that it’s not a mindless exercise, there is a logical explanation why you crave to do precisely that activity.
