Dogs motivate owners to Exercise
This might seem apparent to numerous of us already – especially those of us with high drive dogs but in a recent study researchers have found that dogs really do motivate their owners to get moving.
Exercise and activity for a canine is essential to their well being and their owners know this. So if you were feeling a little lazy today and wanted to catch up on your daytime stories on TV look over at Rover, wouldn’t you delight in going out for a good walk together? He always has time for you and seeing him so pleased will give your walk some much more enjoyment. people want to make their animals happy.
The researchers have already found that people walked much more when it concerned their animals benefit. In the first part of this study they sent out emails to participants telling them about why walking is good for your canine and how as owners we could increase the walk duration to reap even much more benefits. during this initial phase they found just sending out those emails alone upped the owners walking practices from 10 minutes a week to 80. A total of 50 adults participated in this study.
The second part is underway. Purdue researchers are searching for owners who don’t frequently walk their dog. The study aims to find out about the benefits of walking and long term health benefits. They want to see the correlation between canine ownership and motivation. The people who participate will have follow up health screenings at 3 month intervals throughout the year.
The canine is a constant motivator when it concerns exercise, when is the last time you asked your canine to opt for a walk and he said no?
