Sprinting Your Way to Happiness

ABritish study has found that performing just 30 seconds of intense exercise can clear your head.

The study was conducted at the University of Essex and involved 22 men who performed a single all-out sprint. Reseachers found that after the sprint each participant experienced less tension, anger and confusion. Furthermore, this new sense of well-being lasted for about 75 minutes.

Study author Dominic Micklewright, Ph.D. says that short periods of exhaustive exercise fatigue the mind, resetting it to its baseline. He adds that the same benefits can be attained with any short, intense exercise, including sprinting or even running up a flight of stairs.

And all that in 30 seconds! I'm impressed!
