Health Benefits of Playing Pool

March 1, 2016 by Century Billiards & Game Room

health benefits of pool When people think of playing pool, they think that it’s just an excuse for a guy’s night out with some friends while drinking a few beers. Actually, playing pool can benefit a person’s health, as if you needed another reason to play!

The Health Benefits Of Playing Pool From Century Billiards

In this article, studies from the University of Copenhagen show that drinking a beer while playing pool can help with slowing down aging by socializing with friends and keeping active. It also helps the older crowd from signs of aging because you can play pool longer without feeling worn out.

Physical Health Benefits

Playing pool can also benefit your health from a physical standpoint. You probably don’t realize how much walking you do, but you are actually burning calories by taking those laps around the pool table. It’s not going to replace the results you would see on the treadmill, but it’s better than just sitting around on the couch! You are also keeping yourself limber by stretching muscles in your body that you don’t normally use across the pool table to try and make those difficult shots. This can help with a person’s flexibility and control, which is a recipe in the making for a healthier you!

Intellectual Benefits

Thinking is an integral part of playing pool. You have to use your mind to know how to hit the ball, where to hit the ball, and what’s the best angle to use to make sure the ball gets in the pocket. Doing all of this can benefit your health by stimulating your mind and cognitive ability. It helps enhance a person’s hand-eye coordination which is good for keeping the mind sharp. Playing pool also requires being able to balance, sometimes on one leg, which is not only a physical demand but it involves good use of brain power as well.
