Ce se întâmplă dacă miroși ciocolată înainte de antrenament? Nici măcar nu trebuie să o guști STUDIU • Newsweek România

A recent study indicates that simply smelling chocolate can enhance physical performance during workouts. Participants exposed to chocolate scents completed more repetitions without feeling increased effort. Conducted by researchers at Universiti Malaya, the study involved 23 trained men who experienced different chocolate aromas before strength exercises. Results showed a significant increase in repetitions with dark chocolate scent compared to a control group. Additionally, the scent was linked to reduced hunger and increased satiety, potentially influencing performance. However, the study's limitations call for further research to validate these findings.
