Is Your Style of Exercise Killing Your S*x Drive?

A new study demonstrated that different forms of exercise can have different effects on your s*x drive (libido). It was shown that exposure to higher levels of chronic intense and greater durations of endurance training on a regular basis are significantly associated with a decreased libido in males.

Below are the different modes identified:
High intensity at a low duration (HITT training) = low negative effect
Walking or low intensity exercise at a medium duration= low negative effect
High Intensity at a long duration (Crossfit or high paced long distance running) = high negative effect

Therefore it is suggested that if you find your libido decreasing, an occasional change to either HITT style or shorter period of training maybe be helpful.
