Yell during exercise to boost stamina

-

Roaring at the top of your voice during strenuous exercise can give your performanc­e a boost.

Scientists at Taiwan’s I-Shou University found that cyclists who shouted out when they felt like quitting generated more power compared with when they were told to keep quiet, and that while yelling it took them longer to reach the point of exhaustion.

The researcher­s believe shouting increases oxygen intake – helping the body push through fatigue.
