Benefits of running before swimming

With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are becoming more and more keen on swimming. Many families have private swimming pools, which is not only convenient but also a way to exercise the body. They can swim anytime and anywhere. Many people don’t know if it is okay to run before swimming? According to the advice of some relevant experts, you can do some small activities before swimming, but avoid strenuous exercise. Next, let us learn about running before swimming.

It is best not to exercise so vigorously, as it will be counterproductive!

1. Swim first and then run. Swimming itself is an activity that requires a lot of exercise, which activates all the muscle tissues in your body. If the amount of swimming is appropriate, you can also sweat in the water. Most of your body's heat is consumed in the water. Running will make your body too tired.

2. Run first and then swim. If you run first, moderate exercise will cause sweating. All the skin pores will be opened and sweat will occur. If you then go swimming, your skin pores are still in the process of sweating and it is easy to get sick when you go into the water, which will result in half the effort with twice the results! You can switch up one sport each day, or just swim instead of running.

1. The health benefits of swimming

Swimming, like many other sports, not only has a certain therapeutic effect on a variety of chronic diseases, but also has its own unique therapeutic value. The main reasons are as follows:

(l) Swimming is a sport that is carried out in a good natural environment with sunshine, air and cold water baths, thus concentrating all the therapeutic effects of sunshine, air and cold water baths on humans.

(2) Swimming exercise is a whole-body exercise, so it is also a comprehensive, whole-body treatment for diseases. Swimming exercises can enhance the function of the human nervous system, improve blood circulation, and improve digestion and absorption of nutrients, thereby strengthening the physical fitness, enhancing resistance to disease, and achieving good therapeutic effects.

(3) Swimming exercises can enhance the functions of various organs and systems of the human body. For patients with chronic diseases, swimming exercises can enhance the functions of underdeveloped organs and systems, restore and enhance the functions of weakened organs and systems, and thus cure the disease.

(4) Swimming exercises can not only cultivate one’s sentiments, temper one’s will, and foster one’s fighting spirit against nature, but also enable patients to build up their confidence in overcoming the disease and overcome their negative psychology of fear and worry about the disease. Therefore, it is very beneficial to the recovery of health and the treatment of the disease.

2. Swimming exercise control

Swimming exercise, like other physical exercise, requires scientific control of the amount of exercise so that each exercise can achieve the purpose of exercise without causing excessive fatigue and adverse reactions to the body.

How should we scientifically control the amount of exercise when swimming?

There are many ways to grasp the amount of exercise in swimming, but for ordinary swimming enthusiasts, the easiest way is to measure the amount of exercise based on changes in the swimmer's pulse.

Although running before swimming is harmful to people, because it will consume people's physical strength to a certain extent, making people have no energy to do other exercises, so after understanding these principles, you should pay more attention next time you swim to avoid making similar mistakes and causing serious consequences. This is not good and unsafe, so it is best not to run before swimming.
