Why do we feel more tired and uncomfortable when we exercise in summer than in other seasons? This is because the summer weather is sultry and the air pressure is low, especially in rainy and humid areas, the atmospheric oxygen content is small, which reduces the pressure difference between the atmospheric pressure and the intrapulmonary pressure, which reduces the oxygen content in the blood when the human body breathes. It is easy to feel a series of symptoms such as chest tightness, dizziness, and fatigue.
In addition, in a hot environment, in order to better dissipate heat, the blood vessels on the body surface expand greatly, and the blood flow of the skin increases, which naturally reduces the blood flow of the muscles. More lactic acid. The lactic acid buildup happens early, making you feel more tired and your muscles more sore.
1. Appropriate exercise
Summer is suitable for interval training, take a short rest after each group of exercise, so that there is room for buffering body functions. For example, indoor sports such as swimming and yoga, as well as moderate-intensity sports such as brisk walking and night running.
2. The right time
During a day in summer, generally 10:00 am to 4:00 pm is the time when the temperature is higher and the ultraviolet rays are stronger, so it is best to avoid this period of time when exercising, and choose early morning or evening.
3. Appropriate amount of water
When exercising in hot weather, you need to pay attention to prevent heatstroke. Sweating during exercise will consume a lot of water and electrolytes. Therefore, you can properly replenish water before exercising.
4. Massage to relax
It is not recommended to massage immediately after strenuous exercise. At this time, it is easy to aggravate muscle damage and aggravate muscle soreness. Experiments have found that massage works best within 24 hours after exercise. Massage can promote blood circulation and relieve muscle soreness after exercise.
There are many ways of massage, such as artificial massage and stretching, which have certain limitations. The mini fascia gun, which has been very popular in the fitness circle in recent years, can directly reach the deep muscles/fascia through rapid and continuous vibrations, and has become the first choice for contemporary young people to massage!
(1) Use the mini fascia gun before exercising. Quickly massaging and hitting the muscle groups to be exercised can increase the temperature and blood flow of the muscle groups, helping to achieve a rapid warm-up effect.
(2) Use the mini-fascia gun between sets of exercises. It can reactivate tired muscles and make them energetic for the next set of exercises.
(3) Use the mini fascia gun after exercise. Massage and hit the exercised muscle groups to help metabolize lactic acid and reduce muscle tension, which can effectively relax muscles and relieve fatigue.
