In the heat, the blood circulates differently than usual. Instead of rushing to the muscles during a workout, it can hit you in the head in the truest sense of the word. In addition, problems may arise due to dehydration and overheating. How to make summer sports enjoyable and safe?
1. Eat fruit ice before training. As studies have shown, this increases the time of doing sports without much stress for the body by as much as 10 minutes.
2. Monitor the amount of fluid in the body. In the heat, dehydration is a common thing. You lose a lot of moisture, especially during intense sports. Ideally, you should drink water 15 minutes before the start of your workout, and then replenish your water balance every 20 minutes during your workout.
3. Choose the right sport. In summer, you can enjoy water sports such as diving, surfing and swimming. Ice hockey and figure skating can also be very interesting. As you know, indoor ice rinks work 11 months a year and it's very cool there.
4. Do the exercises indoors. Of course, summer is a time when people try to spend more time outdoors, and outdoor activities can seem very tempting. But not in the heat. So you risk getting heat or sunstroke. It is better to work out in an air-conditioned gym. If there is no such possibility, it is better to visit the hall at a time when there are fewer people there.
5. Avoid outdoor activities in the hottest sun. If you still want to do sports outside, it's better to do it before 12 p.m. or after 5 p.m. The chances of getting burned or overheated are significantly reduced.
6. Exercise for 15-20 minutes several times a day. This is one of the optimal training options in the summer. You are not in the heat for a long time, and it is difficult to overheat in 15-20 minutes. In addition, by dividing one hour lesson into 3-4 approaches, you can safely practice outside, avoiding "boiling points" in the hottest time of the day.
