Not only the body needs movement, but also the soul. In an interview, the psychiatrist and anxiety expert Andreas Ströhle explains what science knows about the effects. And: Is there a sport that is best for our well-being?
Many people know this: After a workout or a run you just feel better. Prof. Ströhle, why do we need exercise for our well-being?
Humans are historically designed to move, be physically active and do sports. It is a basic need that has not evaporated, even if our everyday life today involves a lot of sitting, for example when driving a car or working in the office. We also see this in children: They run, climb and move intuitively much more than adults, who often find it difficult to be physically active in everyday life.
