Does football get your heart thumping?

[John Gryphon]

If you think you're getting stressed watching the footy, you're right

A new study reveals how much high-stakes sporting events can get the heart pumping by strapping trackers to over 200 German football fans.

So true - I'm a fifth generation supporter on both sides of my family of a club that haven't won the league for over 60 years. Ludicrously, my team means FAR too much to me. Currently at the top of the league but will blow it of course. This season is the first season for over 30 years I haven't had a season ticket, and my Apple Health thing (via the watch) shows my average heart rate is significantly down when I compare August 25 to January 26 to the same period over the past 6 years. I have academic qualifications coming out my arse, but genuinely believe if I don't watch/listen/get score updates when they are playing it will increase their chances of not getting beat - it's a FACT

Love it. Always have ever since kid. My family all celtic mad. My dad & me used to go up at least 3 times a season. Been few times since he passed away but not the same. I do understand how non footy fans get annoyed at how obsessed people can get over it. Im a lot more chilled about it all these days. Was a time when I'd struggle to stay in same room as a Billy bluenose!!

I can't stand the game but if others enjoy it let them carry on, just don't try to involve me.
