Exercise has a good protective effect on the prostate, but from the effect point of view, running is the "first place" in many sports, which has the best protective effect on the prostate.
This is closely related to the position of the prostate. The prostate is located at the upper part of the pelvic cavity, the lower part of the bladder, the front part of the urethra, the rear part of the pubis, and the rectum.
The left and right sides of the prostate are fixed by many ligaments and fascia, which determines its concealed and relatively fixed characteristics.
First of all, when running, the pelvic floor muscles relax rhythmically, as if putting the prostate on the "trampoline" and letting it "bounce" on it to make the blood of the prostate and its surrounding organs and tissues live.
Secondly, the visceral organs of the abdominal cavity, especially the gut and omentum, impact the prostate regularly and forcefully during running and play a "massage" role on the prostate.
It is easy to understand the effect of other sports on the prostate. Walking is beneficial to the maintenance of the prostate, but it cannot be compared with running.
Cycling pelvic floor muscles and prostate gland are squeezed at the same time, not only "bounce" and "massage", but also the pelvic floor muscles cause tension, which can not be compared with running. Cycling for a long time can also cause excessive pressure on the prostate.
Swimming is basically the movement of the human body in the horizontal direction, without internal movement, without "massage". Only the action of holding water in the legs can exercise the pelvic floor muscles, and the "bounce" effect on the prostate is minimal. It's better for the maintenance of the prostate than walking.
Tennis is a sport that requires a large amount of sports at the same time. It is difficult for the elderly to implement.
