Have you noticed this? Athletes always run around the track in Counter-Clockwise direction. This is being followed for years and is not just tradition, it has a very big and important scientific reason behind this.
Our heart is on the left for Humans and animals.
When we run in anti-clockwise direction, centrifugal force acts on our body from left to right. Whereas it is from right to left for clockwise running. The part of our body which gets affected because of this force is "Superior vena cava".
Superior vena cava is a blood vein which collects impure blood from the upper half of the body to the suction of the Heart. This vein is the second largest vein in our body. This vein carries blood from left to right. Centrifugal force due to anticlockwise running helps this suction. But running in clockwise direction reduces the flow of blood which is not healthy.

- In olden days, health officers ensured that all carnival merry-go-round were run only in the anti-clockwise direction.
- In Circuses, animals go around in counter-clockwise direction.
- Staircase in Temple Towers have only left turns for going up.
- Clockwise running will make you tired soon.
