A Journey Through the Science of Feelings

London, New York, Toronto and Sydney

There is some more good news for people who prefer to sit still. Professor Morgan also found that when he asked people to sit in a quiet room in a comfortable old leather armchair or lazyboy, as he calls it, for the same length of time as an exercise session, they felt just as good afterwards.

A final theory of why exercise might make you feel good is the thermogenic hypothesis – the idea that you feel happy after exercise because your body temperature has increased and that it is this high temperature which is responsible for the release of beta-endorphins, which in turn make you feel good. Not surprisingly, research in this area began in steam baths and saunas in Scandinavia. In one study back in 1972 the volunteers who took part had a twenty-minute sauna followed by a ten-minute shower for which they were paid in cash and in beer. Before and after the sauna the mood of the volunteers was measured. Beforehand two of the twenty male volunteers had warned the experimenters that they didn’t like saunas and indeed four people did find the sauna so stressful that they had to be let out early. However, overall people did feel less anxious after the sauna, but so did the control group who had undressed, sat waiting on a bench for twenty minutes and then had the ten-minute shower.
