What season of the year is suitable for running?

Running is a kind of fitness activity that everyone likes very much. Running requires the muscles of the whole body to be adjusted, so people who run regularly will not only have very strong muscles, but also their bodies will become very healthy and their spirits will be very excited, which will have great benefits for their lives and work. Running can be done all year round, but it will produce better results in certain seasons. Let’s talk about which seasons of the year are suitable for running.

Spring is here, and this is the best season for running!

1. Relatively low physiological functions: When you just wake up in the morning, the cerebral cortex has not yet been fully excited, the physiological functions are still in a certain state of inhibition, and the functions of various organs in the human body are relatively low. Data shows that muscle speed, strength and endurance are at their worst between 3 and 5 a.m. The best time to exercise is when your sports physiological functions are at their best. At this time, your physical strength, sensitivity and adaptability reach their peak, your heart rate and blood pressure rise most steadily, and physical exercise is most beneficial to your health. When your motor function is at its worst, you will easily get tired during exercise and the probability of sports injuries will also increase.

2. Lower body temperature: Scientific research has found that changes in body temperature will greatly affect the quality and effectiveness of exercise, that is, the higher the body temperature during exercise, the better the effect.

3. The blood is viscous and prone to thrombosis: There is no water intake during the long night, but water is continuously lost through the skin, mucous membranes, urine, etc., which makes the blood viscous in the morning and the flow rate slows down, increasing the chance of thrombosis; on the other hand, the blood and oxygen demand of muscles increase during exercise, and viscous blood is not conducive to blood supply to the muscles.

4. The heart is under heavy load, the regulatory function is unstable, and the risk of sudden death increases: Sports medicine experts have found that when exercising in the morning, the heart rate and blood pressure rise faster than in the afternoon, the heart is under greater load, which can easily lead to relative myocardial ischemia and increase the risk of sudden death during exercise. Researchers at Harvard Medical School found that 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. every day is the "peak period" for heart attacks, so heart patients should avoid exercising during this period.

Through the above introduction, we know which season is suitable for running. As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning, and a year's plan begins in spring, so spring is the most suitable season for running. The weather in winter is very cold. After a winter of rest, people's body functions decline. In spring, all things come back to life and the temperature begins to rise, so spring is very suitable for running.
