Exercise Notes:

Be careful after strenuous exercise

1. It is not advisable to rest immediately. During strenuous exercise, a person's heart rate increases, muscles and capillaries expand, blood flow speeds up, and at the same time, the rhythmic contraction of muscles squeezes small veins, causing blood to flow back to the heart quickly. If you stop to rest immediately at this time, the rhythmic contraction of the muscles will also stop, and the large amount of blood that originally flowed into the muscles will not be able to flow back to the heart through muscle contraction, causing low blood pressure and temporary cerebral ischemia, leading to symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, pale complexion, and even shock and fainting. Therefore, after strenuous exercise, you should continue to do some light exercises and stop to rest after your breathing and heartbeat return to normal.

2. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately. In order to maintain a constant body temperature after strenuous exercise, the blood vessels on the surface of the skin dilate, the sweat pores open, and perspiration increases to facilitate heat dissipation. At this time, if you take a cold bath, the blood vessels will immediately contract due to sudden stimulation, the blood circulation resistance will increase, the heart and lung burden will increase, and the body's resistance will be reduced, making people prone to illness. However, if you take a hot bath, the blood flow in the skin will continue to increase, and too much blood will flow into the muscles and skin, leading to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain. The mildest case will be dizzy, and the severest case will be faint and shocked. It can also easily induce other chronic diseases. Therefore, you must rest for a while before taking a bath after strenuous exercise.

Through the above introduction, we now know the best time for hiking. We must also pay attention to the correct methods and techniques when exercising in daily life. If we do not do it correctly, not only will there be no fitness effect, but it will also cause harm to the body. This should be paid attention to during exercise. In addition, we should not exercise excessively and cause fatigue.
