Is swimming the best sport?

When it comes to sports, everyone knows a lot about them, such as jogging, race walking, rope skipping, and high lifts. Swimming is also a good exercise for the human body. Swimming consumes a lot of energy. For people who want to lose weight, swimming is a better choice. Below I will introduce to you the benefits of swimming to the human body and why swimming is called the best exercise choice.

The reasons why swimming is beneficial for weight loss are:

1. Swimming consumes a lot of energy. This is because the resistance of water when swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land sports. Walking in the water is strenuous, and swimming will definitely consume more calories. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of water is 24 times greater than that of air, and the water temperature is generally lower than the air temperature, which is also conducive to heat dissipation and heat consumption. Therefore, the energy consumed in swimming is much greater than that in land activities such as running, so the weight loss effect is more obvious.

2. It can avoid sports injuries of the lower limbs and waist. When doing weight loss exercises on land, due to the heavy weight of obese people, the body (especially the lower limbs and waist) has to bear a great gravity load, which reduces exercise ability, makes people easily fatigued, greatly reduces the interest in weight loss exercises, and may damage the joints and bones of the lower limbs. Swimming is conducted in water, and a considerable portion of the obese person's weight is borne by the buoyancy of the water, which makes the lower limbs and waist feel much more relaxed, and the risk of joint and bone injuries is greatly reduced.

3. You can enjoy natural massage services: When swimming, the buoyancy, resistance and pressure of water are an excellent massage for the human body and can also have a beautifying effect on the skin. Given the above reasons, obese people can indeed use swimming as their main exercise for weight loss. But before swimming, you must make preparations and pay attention to safety to prevent accidents.

In addition to exercise, you can also choose jogging. Jogging is an aerobic exercise and is a good choice for fitness and physical fitness. Don't drink water immediately after exercise. It is best to wait for 20 minutes before drinking water to avoid stomach discomfort. Also, don't exercise immediately after a meal to avoid getting a stitch in the side.
