Jogging this days has become American culture.Each and every one of us makes jogging our daily routine for most part. Scientifically, it’s proven that jogging has both mental and physical benefits.It helps to fight disease and aging in addition to giving confidences. And noting is good as us jogging to a avoid stress, by giving you the time to solve it or a avoid it. Also when you are angry speed run is the best medicine you could ever find to cool you off.

On the other hand the Danish Dr.Pete Kuruistrup in his new scientific experiment found that, playing soccer is more efficient than jogging.According to science daily news latter, the sports scientist in his research found that, after 12 weeks, participant who played soccer lost 3.5 kilos of body fat compared to 2 kilos for joggers, In addition to a 2 kilos incensement of muscle mass. The joggers didn’t show any significant increase in muscle mass.

The reason seems to be many. For instances when you are playing soccer you are always in constant motion, so both your mind and body are always working. But according to the study the main reasons are:

Soccer involves bursts of an intense activity. This is the reason for the great cardiovascular work out. According to Dr.Peter Krustrupr there where times during the soccer game, when the players cardiovascular was working to its full capacity.

Also the sport scientist point out that for something to be genuinely good for our health we have to take pleasure in it. “This is where [soccer] has an enormous advantage.” playing any sport is more fun than jogging, there for the players didn't notices the pain and the exhaustion.

“The soccer players where having more fun, so they where more focused on scoring goals and helping the team, rater than the feeling of muscle pain.” said Krustrupr.

Soccer is an all-round form of practice. when you play soccer you are running ,jumping ,sprinting, and tackling your opponent ,so the pulse are up and you use all the fibers in your muscles. But when “you jog you only use the slow fibers.”

“…Soccer is extremely valuable in helping us maintain our health,” Dr.Krustrupr summarizes his finding.
