What are the precautions for outdoor sports in winter?

Nowadays, more and more people like to participate in some outdoor sports in winter to increase their resistance. For those who regularly exercise in winter, their ability to resist the cold will be 8 to 10 times stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition, participating in some outdoor sports in winter can increase the disease-resistant antibodies in the blood, thereby enhancing the body's resistance to disease. So what are the precautions for outdoor sports in winter? Let’s take a look at it together.

1. Choose a reasonable way of exercise in winter: Many people know that there are not only many sports to do in winter, but also many benefits to the body. Winter sports include long-distance running, martial arts, basketball, table tennis, rope skipping, kicking bamboo shoots, and rubber band skipping. Although there are many types of sports, you must choose sports according to your own preferences and physical condition, and achieve fitness effects with flexible exercise methods.

2. Be careful to avoid injuries during exercise: Once winter comes, the stretchability and elasticity of human muscles and ligaments will gradually decrease with the change of weather, and the flexibility of various joints of the body will also decrease accordingly. A tip for healthy living: before exercising in winter, you must do enough preparation before exercising to avoid causing harm to your body.

3. The breathing method must be appropriate: the temperature drops quickly in winter and the wind is particularly strong. Therefore, when people choose to exercise and keep fit, it is best not to open their mouths and breathe in large gulps. It is best to choose to breathe through the nasal cavity or take a slightly open mouth and nose to breathe together. This will reduce the adverse damage caused by cold air to the respiratory tract.

4. Add or remove clothes at any time according to climate changes: In order to better keep out the cold, you must keep warm during winter exercise to avoid cold currents invading your body. When exercising outdoors, it is best to wear clothes that have layers. Don’t assume that your body will heat up after exercise, so you can just wear a sports suit. Because when people exercise, they will generate a certain amount of heat, but this heat will decrease as the amount of exercise decreases. Therefore, when exercising in winter, it is best to wear sportswear inside and a coat or down jacket outside to avoid discomfort caused by the cold after rest or exercise.

5. Pay attention to sensory hygiene: In addition to strong winds and cooling temperatures in winter, there is also a lot of dense fog, and the pollution of air or car exhaust is becoming increasingly serious.

6. Develop good exercise habits before exercising - warm-up: The temperature is lower in winter, and the elasticity and extensibility of the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the body will gradually decrease with the cold climate, making the body stiff and difficult to stretch.

The above is a detailed introduction to several common phenomena that require attention in winter outdoor sports. I believe that for some people who like to participate in outdoor sports in winter, they will have a deeper understanding of the precautions for outdoor sports. In addition, it should be noted that after exercising in winter, you must drink a glass of warm water first to effectively replenish the water needed by the body.
