For many Thais hitting the gym, jogging at Lumphini Park, or playing football after work, a curious urge might follow an intense bout of exercise: the near-uncontrollable need to keep moving, even when exhaustion beckons. Instead of collapsing on a bench or mat, you might find yourself pacing back and forth, performing squats and stretches, or simply unable to sit still. Recent research, highlighted in an accessible review published by an exercise physiology professor, explains this phenomenon while revealing why active movement after strenuous activity is not just instinctive, but vital for optimal recovery (The Conversation).
