The researchers from University of Georgia have conducted a study and found that low-intensity aerobic exercise can boost energy levels and reduce fatigue.  

Researchers expose this finding through an experiment involving 36 healthy young individuals who did not exercise regularly and always reported fatigued.

One group of volunteers did low-intensity aerobic exercise for 20 minutes thrice a week for six weeks, and another group did moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for the same amount of time.

Researchers found that one group who has done low-intensity aerobic exercise for 20 minutes thrice a week has experienced 65 percent drop in their fatigue levels, and 20 percent increase in the energy levels of the body. Whereas another group has also experienced a 20 percent boost in energy levels, but only a 49 percent drop in fatigue.

After reviewing the study, researchers came to a conclusion that exercise acts directly on the central nervous system to increase energy and reduce fatigue.

Patrick O'Connor, co-director of the UGA Exercise Psychology Laboratory said, "Exercise is a way for people to feel more energetic. There's a scientific basis for it, and there are advantages to it compared to things like caffeine and energy drinks."

About 25 percent of the total population experience fatigue. So if one wants to get rid of fatigue, he/she must do some low intensity exercises.

The findings were published in the February issue of the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics.
