Sportul urmărit în direct poate îmbunătăți conexiunile sociale. Cercetătorii au observat că bătăile inimii spectatorilor se sincronizează

A recent study indicates that attending a live sports event can significantly increase oxytocin levels and synchronize heart rates among spectators, enhancing social bonds. Researchers from Tsukuba University observed 60 attendees at a basketball game, measuring saliva samples for oxytocin and cortisol levels. Results showed that those with initially low oxytocin experienced a notable increase, while cortisol levels decreased, suggesting a relaxed social engagement. The study highlights that shared experiences at events can strengthen social connections without the need for medication. This effect was evident even among casual fans, indicating broader social benefits.
