Exercising = Better Job Performance?

by Robert

According to MSNBC, British researchers investigated the link between job performance and exercise among roughly 200 workers, and discovered the following:

  • 60% said their time management skills, mental performance and ability to meet deadlines improved on days when they exercised.
  • The amount of the overall performance boost was about 15 percent.
  • The type of exercise didn’t seem to matter. “We could find no difference according to length of exercise or duration or intensity,” McKenna says. “You still got the effect no matter what you did.”
  • Many of the participants said exercise seemed to help them deal better with the demands and pressures on the job.
  • Workers in the study also indicated they were less likely to suffer bouts of afternoon fatigue known as the “post-lunch dip” on days when they exercised.

I really did not need to see this as I start my day without excercising. [link found here]
