Researchers: Swearing can help people perform better physically

Swearing is generally frowned upon in society. But researchers suggest that it could be the key to unlocking a higher level of physical performance.

A new study published in the journal American Psychologist found that swearing helps people perform better on physical tasks, with participants reporting that it made them feel more self-confident and focused.

In other words, the next time you're tempted to drop a crazy bomb at the gym, scientists say you should.

"In many situations, people restrain themselves - consciously or unconsciously, from using their full strength," lead author Richard Stephens, senior lecturer in psychology at Keele University in the United Kingdom, said in a statement.

The study builds on a large body of research that already establishes a link between swearing and improved physical performance. But for the first time, researchers have aimed to focus on the mechanism behind this relationship.

Researchers point out that swearing is a calorie-neutral, drug-free, low-cost and readily available tool at our disposal when we need a performance boost./CNA
