It’s that time of year again as major sporting spectacles including the UEFA Euro 2024 soccer tournament, Wimbledon tennis and World Cup T20 cricket hit our screens. If your an avid fan, though, these events can be hugely stressful to watch \u2013 particularly if you’re an England football fan. The team’s performances during the tournament have proved once again that supporting your national team (unless that team is Spain) is an inherently stressful experience. But help is at hand, and all you need is half an hour and an exercise mat<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While many people will turn to alcohol to get them through a stressful summer of sport, there is another way. And that’s fortunate for the fitness-focused among us. A team of researchers from the University of the Fraser Valley, Canada, has suggested that 30 minutes of yoga is the best way to reduce stress and anxiety. Although their research linked yoga to reducing exam stress, this could equally be applied to pre-race preparation or coping with watching a lengthy and highly stressful international tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
