What should you pay attention to after strenuous exercise?

I particularly like sports. What should I pay attention to after strenuous exercise? In the past, I would exercise with my friends. I felt very happy and sweated all over my body, which made my body feel much more relaxed. But after each strenuous exercise, I have a blind spot. I don’t know what I should do and what I should not do, and what would be bad for my body. I consulted a senior sports expert, and he told me a lot of common sense about strenuous exercise. Now I will tell you.

During strenuous exercise, blood is mostly concentrated in the limb muscles. Due to the strong contraction of the limb muscles, a large amount of venous blood will quickly flow back to the heart. The heart then sends the nutritious arterial blood to the whole body, and the blood circulation is extremely fast. If you stop to rest right after strenuous exercise, a large amount of venous blood in the limbs will accumulate in the veins, the heart will be deprived of blood, and the brain will experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and shock due to insufficient blood supply and lack of oxygen. Therefore, after strenuous exercise, such as long-distance running, gradually change to jogging, then walk for a while, and take a few deep breaths. This way, the muscles will easily eliminate fatigue.

If you drink too much water at one time due to thirst after strenuous exercise, the salt content in the blood will decrease. In hot weather, you will sweat a lot and salt will be lost more easily, which will reduce the osmotic pressure of cells, leading to an imbalance in sodium metabolism and causing muscle cramps. Because the gastrointestinal tract has less blood and poor function during strenuous exercise, its ability to absorb water is weak, and excessive water seeps into cells and intercellular matrix. The brain tissue is fixed in the hard skull. The swelling of brain cells can cause increased intracranial pressure, resulting in symptoms of "water intoxication" such as headaches, vomiting, drowsiness, blurred vision, and slow heart rate. If you drink too much water at one time, your stomach and intestines will feel uncomfortable and bloated. If you lie down to rest, the diaphragm will be squeezed, affecting your cardiopulmonary activity. Therefore, if you feel thirsty after strenuous activity, you should not drink too much water. Instead, you should drink water in small amounts multiple times.

During strenuous exercise, blood is mostly concentrated in the limb muscles and respiratory system, while the digestive organs have relatively less blood. The digestion and absorption capacity is poor, and it takes a period of adjustment after exercise before the digestion and absorption function can gradually recover. Therefore, if you eat immediately after strenuous exercise, you will not enjoy the food and the absorption of nutrients in the food will also be poor.

In summary, the above contents are an introduction to what you should pay attention to after strenuous exercise. After reading it, friends who also like sports know what to do. Now I know what I should do after strenuous exercise. Exercise can strengthen the body, enhance the body's immunity, and make your body particularly strong and stylish. If you want to become like this, let's exercise together.
