Part 2/11:
A noteworthy experiment highlighted by Dr. Andrew Huberman from Stanford University emphasizes the distinction between voluntary and forced exercise. In this study, rats were observed in two configurations: one group had the freedom to run on a treadmill at will, while another group was forced to run in tandem with the former. The findings revealed that the rats engaging in voluntary exercise exhibited significant health improvements, such as lower blood pressure and better metabolic metrics. In contrast, the forced exercise group demonstrated negative health impacts.
