This is very true.
I once saw a social experiment where people experienced minor pain in two rounds. In the first round, they were subjected to the pain but were not allowed to use any profanity and were then asked to rate their pain from 1 to 10. In the second round, the same was done, but this time they could use profanity. When asked to rate their pain from 1 to 10, the ratings were noticeably lower than in the first round.
Anything profane you personally did while working out or playing a sport?

Yes, it's common. My observation says it's common under frustration, surprise or overjoyed. But to say it improves your performance confuses me.

This makes sense. You know we say "baap re" (means oh my father) when we are in pain, in awe or extreme joy. This is very common here but I think times are changing and new gen has started substituting it for slangs like f words.
