Soccer practice twice per week lowers blood pressure, reduces body fat

Soccer practice two times per week for 3 months found to dramatically lower blood pressure, percentage of body fat & resting pulse rate in previously nonactive adults.

Also, it increased oxygen uptake, improved heart function and elasticity of the vascular system.

Not bad for two workouts per week! I wonder if it reduces chronic anger as well?

I’m still recovering from the bruised ribs I received in the last game of indoor soccer I played. Ouch, it hurts to breathe!

Cheers,
