Abstract
Physical activity is well known for maintaining fitness and health. Recent studies also found that low semen quality and quantity are associated with the risk of many diseases and life expectancy. We conducted a literature search with key concepts of “exercise”, “sperm count”, and “adult”. The search was carried out through comprehensive literature searches on 4 databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google scholar), reference searches or citation matching, and/or other method searches. The literature search was done in November 2022. We identified 17 literatures that analyzed these correlations. Among them, 7 articles showed that there is a correlation between exercise intensity and sperm count. However, there are other studies that showed no significant correlation between the intensity of exercise and sperm count. In conclusion, physical activity in sedentary adult males has shown a positive effect on sperm count. However, athletes showed no significant decrease in sperm count.
