does working out speed up the digestive system?

Answer 1

Most exercise has a positive effect on the digestive system helping to quell appetite and increase metabolism. Some endurance events sometimes cause competitors to have and upset stomach and diarrhoea.

Answer 2

working out will actually decrease the activity in your digestive system because your body is focusing on increasing your heart rate to supply your muscles with blood that transports oxygen. THis is seen as a priority,from your body's point of view.working out will,ofcourse burn energy from your food intake in the long run,but doesn't,as such,speed up the digestive system.

Answer 3

No, but it increases your metabolism in two ways:
1. If you have more muscle and less fat, you will have a faster metabolism because muscle takes more energy to maintain than fat does, so you burn a bit of energy just by having muscle.
2. If you have a higher surface area to volume ratio you will have a faster metabolism because heat production is related to volume, but heat loss is related to surface area. In other words, a thinner person will produce less heat and lose more heat than a larger person of the same height, thereby burning more calories.

Answer 4

In my experience no. Working out increases your appetite, so you eat more, because you burn more. A bigger amount of food takes the same time as a smaller amount they reckon 8-12 hours. Try eating corn on the cob and see how long it takes to show.

Answer 5

Yes, arobic exercise speeds up a person's metabolism.

Answer 6

It doesn't increase rate of digestion, but it does increase bowel movement.
