What kind of exercise is considered strenuous exercise?

Sometimes when we are sick, doctors will advise us not to do strenuous exercise and to focus on self-cultivation. So what is strenuous exercise? In simple terms: strenuous exercise is anaerobic exercise, while general exercise is aerobic exercise; strenuous exercise consumes a lot of oxygen and water, which makes the body overdrawn. You should try to drink more light salt water to replenish body fluids in time so as not to harm your body. Let’s explain this in detail below.

one,

This is a very common practice. When you feel tired after exercise, you squat or sit down thinking that you can save energy and rest. In fact, this is a wrong practice: if you squat and sit down to rest immediately after fitness exercise, it will hinder blood return to the lower limbs, affect blood circulation, and deepen muscle fatigue. In severe cases, gravity shock may occur. Therefore, after each exercise, you should adjust your breathing rhythm, walk and swing your arms, and do some relaxation and adjustment activities to promote the blood from the limbs to flow back to the heart, so as to pay off the "oxygen debt", speed up physical recovery and eliminate fatigue.

two,

Exercise often makes people sweat profusely, especially in the summer. With the consumption of a large amount of water, people always feel dry mouth and urgent need to drink water after exercise. Most of them are young people who like to buy some cold drinks to cool off and quench their thirst. However, the human digestive system is still in a suppressed state and its function is low at this time. If you drink a lot of cold drinks in order to cool down and quench your thirst, it can easily cause gastrointestinal cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and induce gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, after exercise, you can drink a small amount of boiled water or salt water.

three,

During exercise, blood vessels on the body's surface dilate, body temperature rises, pores dilate, and perspiration increases. If you walk into an air-conditioned room or take a nap in the air vent immediately after exercise, or rinse your head with cold water to cool down, your skin will tighten and sweat will stop, causing physiological dysfunction such as temperature regulation, and a decrease in immune function, leading to colds, diarrhea, asthma and other symptoms.

Smoking after exercise will cause the air inhaled into the lungs to be mixed with a large amount of smoke. On the one hand, it will reduce the oxygen content, which is not conducive to paying off the "oxygen debt" and makes it difficult to eliminate body fatigue. On the other hand, when the human body inhales such foggy air, it will affect the gas exchange in the human alveoli, causing the human body to experience chest tightness, wheezing, difficulty breathing, dizziness, fatigue, etc. due to insufficient oxygen supply after exercise.

There are many benefits of vigorous exercise, such as stabilizing blood sugar, stabilizing blood lipid levels, lowering blood pressure, improving platelet aggregation, improving heart function, improving immunity, making the body less prone to inflammation, reducing the risk of obesity, and reducing psychological burden. However, you should not drink alcohol, smoke, take a bath or drink cold drinks after strenuous exercise.
