Cardio increases vagal activity, enhances blood flow, and makes running easier.
The new discovery that cardiac vagal nerve activity increases during exercise in ways that promote better fight-or-flight
physiology may shed light on the evolutionary roots of our unique ability to run long distances. When it comes towhile running, humans are particularly well-equipped based on our body's design that allows us to spring through the air. Beyond the biomechanics of running, I know as a long-distance runner that during aerobic exercise, something happens on a neurobiological level that promotes euphoric feelings of blissfulness associated with theI've always wondered why endurance running creates such a happy and serene state of mind when it's supposedly driven by the amped-up fight-or-flight responses associated with the sympathetic nervous system and decreased vagal activity.
