What are the benefits of regular swimming?

Nowadays, people pay great attention to their physical health. We always exercise in various ways, and swimming is a very common sport. Many people like swimming very much. I always go to the swimming pool to swim in my spare time. But, what benefits does swimming bring to the human body? Next, the editor will present some swimming-related materials to tell you the benefits of swimming.

1. Enhance myocardial function

When people exercise in water, all organs are involved, which consumes a lot of energy and speeds up blood circulation to supply more nutrients to the exercise organs. The increased blood velocity increases the load on the heart, causing it to beat faster and contract more forcefully. People who swim regularly have excellent heart function. The average person's heart rate is 70-80 beats per minute, and the stroke volume is 60-80 ml.

People who swim regularly can reach a heart rate of 50-55 beats per minute. Many excellent swimmers can reach a heart rate of 38-46 beats per minute, with a stroke volume of 90-120 ml. When swimming, the action of water makes it easier for blood from the limbs to flow back to the heart, increasing the heart rate. Long-term swimming will significantly increase the motility of the heart, make the contraction stronger, increase the thickness and elasticity of the blood vessel walls, and increase the blood output per stroke. Therefore, swimming can develop a strong heart.

2. Enhance immunity

The water temperature of a swimming pool is usually between 26 and 28 degrees. Soaking in water dissipates heat quickly and consumes a lot of energy. In order to replenish the heat dissipated by the body as quickly as possible to meet the needs of cold and heat balance, the nervous system responds quickly, speeding up the body's metabolism, enhancing the body's ability to adapt to the outside world, and resisting the cold. People who regularly participate in winter swimming are less likely to catch colds due to improved body temperature regulation function. It can also improve the body's endocrine function and increase pituitary gland function, thereby improving resistance and immunity to diseases.

The above is some relevant content about what benefits swimming, a sport that people love very much, can bring to people. Swimming is an aerobic exercise that can help people consume excess calories and fat in the body, which is very helpful to the human body. But be sure to swim in a regular swimming pool to avoid skin diseases.
