Is it good to swim after working out?

In summer, the place where people often go to swim should be the swimming pool, because summer is very hot. If you often swim in the swimming pool, it can play a good role in cooling off. Swimming in the swimming pool can also help us lose weight and shape our body, which is also very good. But is it good for the body to go swimming after fitness?

Swimming is also an intense sport. Since the resistance of water during swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land sports, it consumes more calories. The water temperature is generally lower than the air temperature. The thermal conductivity of water is 24 times that of air. The heat transfer rate of water is faster than that of air. That is to say, people lose heat very quickly in water. A large amount of heat will be consumed during swimming, which is conducive to heat dissipation and heat consumption.

When doing weight loss exercises on land, due to the heavy weight of obese people, the body has to bear a great gravity load, which reduces the exercise ability, makes fatigue easy, greatly reduces the interest in weight loss exercises, and may damage the joints and bones of the lower limbs. Swimming is conducted in water, and a considerable portion of the obese person's weight is borne by the buoyancy of the water, which makes the lower limbs and waist feel much more relaxed, greatly reducing the risk of joint and bone injuries.

When swimming, the water flow has a good massage effect on the body's pulse. In addition, the human body is in a horizontal position, which is beneficial for the blood from the limbs to return to the heart. During activity, the heart rate increases and the amount of blood pumped per beat increases, which promotes the strengthening of the heart muscles and makes the contraction more powerful. The buoyancy, resistance and pressure of water are an excellent massage for the human body. The resistance to human movement in water is 12 times greater than on land.

Although swimming has many benefits to the body, many people do not pay attention to warming up before swimming. In fact, warming up before swimming is still very necessary. Even in summer, if you do not warm up before swimming, you may suffer from calf cramps when you immerse yourself in the water due to long-term inactivity.
