Would you dare to peer into the bodies, heads and souls of the fans in the Qatar stadium from afar? In my opinion, they have a huge emotional and energy expenditure …

Undoubtedly, the fans are the decoration of the World Cup. I often actually see, for example, how they are equipped, what they are cheering for, how they are decorated in national colors. I laugh before their performance. But from the fans in our stadiums, in terms of energy and emotion, those manifestations are not much different physiologically.

Is their heart beating?

No questions asked. Classic adrenaline reaction. The heart rate quickens, mostly on alternating occasions on either side. Breathing rate increases. The fan is sweating, no doubt it is very demanding.

Can it be called something that we more broadly call stress and do we struggle with it every day?

Yes, it is stress, a burden on the body. Comparable, the load on the organism of course, but I would not say that it is a health threatening thing.

Well, the occasional person faints…

This does not occur in a young, healthy organism, these cases do occur, but usually it is a hidden medical condition, which a person of many years usually does not know about. Unfortunately, heart attacks are no exception.

Call it the most tense of trans situations. But it didn’t last the full ninety, today was more like a hundred minutes, right?

Fortunately not, the limit values, for example on the mentioned pulses, are actually more in tense situations. As with every expenditure of energy, it is followed by a feeling of calm and often a feeling of satisfaction. Or also frustrated. However, it depends on the outcome of the match.

And while we are at the World Cup, which is coming to an end, I won’t spoil who will be the champion of the planet, whose football do you like the most?

As long as I watch football, the Canaries, that is, Brazilians, are always very good. I think he’s aiming really high. But football, even with the emotions mentioned above, is beautiful because the winner is not clear before…
