What are the suitable sports in winter?

When winter comes, due to the relatively cold weather, many people directly isolate themselves from the outside world. However, staying at home for a long time will cause our immunity to decline, so at this time we need to do some simple outdoor exercises, which can not only regulate the blood circulation in the lungs, but also enhance our own resistance. However, many people don’t know much about suitable activities in winter. Let’s talk about it below.

jogging

Jogging is an ideal sport that can enhance blood circulation, improve heart function, improve blood supply to the brain and oxygen supply to brain cells, and reduce cerebral arteriosclerosis. 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 phenomenon of aging of cardiopulmonary function; lower cholesterol, reduce arteriosclerosis, and help prolong life. In recent years, scientists have also discovered that people who jog regularly have a lower risk of developing cancer.

bike

Cycling can prevent brain aging, improve cardiopulmonary function, exercise lower limb muscle strength and enhance overall endurance. Cycling provides the same endurance training effect on internal organs as swimming and running. This exercise not only benefits three pairs of joints and 26 pairs of muscles in the lower limbs: hip, knee, and ankle, but also exercises the muscles in the neck, back, arms, abdomen, waist, groin, and buttocks. When riding a bicycle, due to the periodic aerobic exercise, the exerciser consumes more calories and can achieve significant weight loss effects.

The above are the most common winter sports, but there are also some things to pay attention to when doing winter sports. For example, in winter, human organs and various parts of the body are in a state of cold protection, so during this period you must pay attention to some warm-up training, otherwise once the range of motion is too large, it is easy to cause dangers such as muscle strain.
