Swimmers make the best lovers

Washington: A new survey has revealed that what kind of sports people play reveals a lot about their personality like swimmers make the "best lovers."

According to new research launched by the British Heart Foundation, in collaboration with Mindlab, cyclists are more likely to be emotionally stable, runners the most extrovert, and walkers the least materialistic, the CNN reported.

People that go to the gym are most likely to vote Conservative, while runners tend to back Labour, while there was a strong Liberal Democrat streak among cyclists. A yoga devotee probably would be a Green party voter.

The survey also revealed that over half (61 percent) of UK adults wanted to take on a challenge for charity, whatever their "sports personality" type.
