The prostate is a male reproductive organ, shaped like a chestnut, and is not noticeable in human organs, but it plays an indispensable role in male reproduction. In summer, when the temperature changes significantly, the sensitive prostate gland is easily "injured.". Research has shown that moderate exercise has a significant effect on protecting the prostate, but compared to walking, swimming, and playing tennis, running has the best effect. This is closely related to the location of the prostate gland. The prostate is located at the bottom of the pelvic cavity, with the bladder above, the urethra below, the pubic bone ahead, and the rectum behind. The left and right sides of the prostate are fixed by many ligaments and fascia, which determine its concealed and relatively fixed position. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand how running maintains the prostate gland.
First, when running, the pelvic floor muscles relax rhythmically, as if placing the prostate on a "trampoline" and allowing it to "bounce" on it, activating the blood of the prostate and its surrounding organs and tissues.
Secondly, during running, the internal organs of the abdominal cavity, especially the intestines and omentum, regularly and forcefully impact the prostate, playing a "massage" role on the prostate.
However, vigorous exercise can also cause congestion and edema of the prostate, which is detrimental to the maintenance of the prostate. Therefore, running should not be excessive, and it is necessary to master speed, time, and distance based on your physical strength.
