This psychologist’s answer contradicts those who think it’s just a social network phrase
Now is the time for the “Progetto Estate”, a moment in which many people make themselves available for physical activity and healthy eating. At the same time, those who maintain this habit for a long time often share encouraging phrases on social networks. In this sense, the phrase “the body does what the mind believes is just a cliché?” The psychologist answers the questions.
Positive feedback and earnings
“There are several psychological strategies, which are directly related to physical activity. Both the physical preparation part and team sports, such as football, volleyball, basketball and others. Our idea of a sports psychologist in physical activity is to be able to put physical activity into the context of that individual,” behavior analysis specialist Henrique Carpigiani said in an exclusive interview for Sport Life.
When asked about the benefits of keeping one’s mental side strong along with daily physical exercise, Henrique listed a number of benefits for those who are active as a hobby or for professional problems.
“Some strategies are well applied to start and stay in this activity. Defining goals to put on ‘paper’ where you want to go and the ‘step by step’. Anxiety control. Stress management to not abandon those goals and ‘fall down ‘ in cachaça (laughs). Maintain a good preparation routine in order to train your attention and avoid injuries, accidents or worse,” added Carpigiani.
That is, these answers from this behavior analyst only confirm that these phrases are not in vain. Before starting any sporting activity, a healthy mind always comes first, which then, combined with a healthy diet, will help you achieve your results.
Field research
There is an experience that validates Henrique Carpigiani’s theses. The HSM (Professor Frota Pinto Mental Health Hospital), in Fortaleza, published research in the second half of 2020 that guaranteed the effectiveness of physical exercise for the treatment of mental disorders.
HSM improvised a soccer field in its unit, with donated trainers and clothing for the participants in this experiment, who were divided into teams. The immediate result was seeing the mood of the members when it was time to exercise.
The psychologist Ré Moura led this work, he admitted that physical exercise is essential in the treatment of mental health because it improves self-esteem. It also provides a sense of calm and well-being and reduces the risk of depression. So far, there hasn’t been an update to this line of work.
