Does exercise help erectile dysfunction?

Exercise helps improve erectile dysfunction, with studies showing significant enhancements in erectile function through aerobic, resistance, and combined training programs. Supervised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 40 minutes, four times a week over six months, leads to notable improvements, particularly in men with little physical activity or related conditions. A meta-analysis confirms that physical exercise results in a statistically significant improvement in erectile function scores.

Key points:

  • Aerobic exercise improves erectile function in men with erectile dysfunction.
  • Resistance and combined training also benefit erectile function.
  • Supervised programs show greater improvements than unsupervised activity.
  • Exercise helps regardless of cardiovascular risk factors.
