What sports are suitable for autumn?

The cool and refreshing autumn season is more suitable for sports, but we all know that different seasons may have different methods and types of sports. So before exercising, everyone should have a certain understanding and mastery of these common sense. It does not mean that you can exercise however you like. Now let’s take stock of several sports that are more suitable for autumn.

Climbing high generally refers to the folk sport of mountain climbing. As a form of physical exercise, the health benefits of climbing heights are: it can increase lung ventilation and vital capacity, enhance blood circulation, increase cerebral blood flow, and increase urine acidity. Climbing in autumn has some special benefits to human physiological functions due to the unique climate and changes in meteorological elements. When climbing, as the altitude increases within a certain range, the content of hydrogen ions and negative oxygen ions known as "air vitamins" in the atmosphere increases. In addition, the air pressure decreases, which can promote a series of changes in people's physiological functions. It can also play a role in auxiliary treatment of diseases such as asthma, lower blood sugar, and increase hemoglobin and red blood cell count in patients with anemia.

When climbing in autumn, the temperature changes most frequently, which is beneficial to human health: it keeps the human body's temperature regulation mechanism in a constant state of tension, thereby improving the body's ability to adapt to environmental changes (the "autumn cold" in traditional Chinese medicine also includes this meaning). Of course, for the elderly and infirm, this health-care effect should not be emphasized blindly. The time for climbing should avoid the morning and evening when the temperature is lower, and the climbing speed should be slow. When going up and down the mountain, you can adapt to the air temperature by adding or removing clothes. Patients with hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc. should exercise within their ability to prevent unexpected events.

Jogging is also an ideal autumn sport. It can enhance blood circulation, improve heart function, improve blood supply to the brain and oxygen supply to brain cells, reduce cerebral arteriosclerosis, and enable the brain to work normally. Running can also effectively stimulate metabolism, increase energy expenditure, and help lose weight and keep fit. For the elderly, running can greatly reduce muscle atrophy and obesity caused by lack of exercise; reduce the aging of cardiopulmonary function; lower cholesterol, reduce arteriosclerosis, and help prolong life. Recently, scientists have also discovered that people who jog regularly are less likely to get cancer.

In different seasons, choosing the most suitable exercise method can naturally help you achieve more significant exercise results, and it can also bring other benefits to your health.
