What should you pay attention to when swimming in the morning?

Swimming in the morning is a good exercise, but after a night of sleep, the muscles of the whole body are in a very relaxed state. If you suddenly engage in strenuous exercise, it may cause physical injury. So, what are the specific precautions for swimming in the morning? The editor has collected some points to pay attention to before and after morning swimming. You may wish to take a look.

When swimming in the morning, it is very important to warm up. You need to stretch your legs, move your waist or stretch your arms, etc. Then it is best to jog around the pool for one or two laps before entering the water, and then take a shower to get your body's muscle system into motion!

1. Don’t take a shower immediately: Your body has not yet returned to normal after exercise, so it is not advisable to take a shower immediately, especially a hot shower. If you take a cold shower immediately after swimming, your skin will be suddenly irritated, causing your blood vessels to constrict immediately and your body's resistance to decrease. Taking a hot bath will continue to increase blood flow in the skin, leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. In mild cases, it may cause dizziness, and in severe cases, it may cause collapse and shock.

2. Don’t drink excessively to quench your thirst: Drinking a lot of water will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and dilute the gastric juice, which will not only reduce the bactericidal effect of the gastric juice, but also affect the digestion of food. However, drinking water too quickly will suddenly increase the burden on the heart and may even cause heart failure, abdominal bloating, etc.

3. Don’t smoke: The human body’s metabolism speeds up after exercise. If you smoke, a large amount of smoke will enter the body. The body’s need for a large amount of oxygen after exercise cannot be met, making it more susceptible to damage from carbon monoxide, nicotine, etc.

Now I believe that if you swim in the morning in the future, you will know some precautions for morning swimming, so that you can play the greatest role of exercise. Don’t think that exercise is good. If handled improperly, exercise may have the opposite effect on the body. Therefore, the editor recommends that you should do some warm-up exercises when doing any exercise, which will be safer.
