How to relieve sports fatigue?

A person who exercises for a long time will also feel some fatigue. Some young people who often do sports feel that they have not rested enough after each exercise. In fact, it is still necessary to pay attention to relieve the fatigue after exercise. If the fatigue is not relieved for a long time, it is very bad for health. Therefore, how to relieve sports fatigue? The following is a detailed introduction to the relief methods.

Sorting out activities cannot be neglected. After exercising, many people pack up and go home when the time is up. In fact, this is wrong. You must do 10 to 15 minutes of cool-down exercises after exercise. Cool-down exercises include jogging, static stretching exercises, etc., which are mainly to allow the heart and lungs to slowly adapt. Because during exercise, the heart and lungs have a large workload, and the blood transports a large amount of oxygen to the heart and lungs. If the exercise ends suddenly, the cardiopulmonary function will suddenly drop, which not only reduces the oxygen content delivered to the heart and lungs, but more importantly, it is impossible to excrete more metabolic waste from the body. Therefore, after exercise, especially strenuous exercise, it is best to run a few more steps to give the body a gradual recovery process. Of course, for exercises such as jogging and brisk walking, since they involve little activity, the cool-down activities can be omitted appropriately.

Massage repairs damage. Massage is one of the important means to promote recovery, because moderate massage can promote blood circulation and accelerate the repair of injured parts. During exercise, especially strenuous exercise, the body will suffer some injuries. Some injuries are very subtle, or even difficult for people to detect, but the human body can completely repair itself and does not require other treatment methods. Moderate massage can speed up the process of self-repair, so massage after exercise can help you recover better. Of course, you can also do some appropriate relaxation activities, such as shaking your legs, relaxing your muscles and joints, etc., which can also have a good recovery effect.

Sleep is the most important thing. Finally, let’s talk about sleep. As mentioned before, sleep is the best way to recover, but how and when to sleep also has its own rules. For those who exercise at night, it is best to go to sleep 2 hours after exercise. This will allow the body to gradually recover from the excited state and help sleep. Sleep time can be slightly extended to 8 to 9 hours, which can speed up recovery. If you are someone who exercises in the morning and has important things to deal with in the afternoon, taking a short nap at noon is a good choice. It allows people to quickly restore their energy in the afternoon. The sleep time can be appropriately extended, but it is best to control it to about 1 hour.

There are many ways to relieve sports fatigue. If a person is in a state of fatigue for a long time, it is also a great threat to physical injury. Therefore, it is necessary to relieve this situation in time, that is, after the exercise, you should do some simple activities to finish the exercise. At the same time, you can also repair some damaged muscles and bones through some massage.
