2024.08.24 12:34
Of course, it is difficult to say that the hot and humid summer is an ideal season for exercising. However, it is not feasible to take a break from exercise for several months every summer. Here are three tips for exercising comfortably and safely during the summer.
Adequate hydration
The key to summer health management is adequate hydration. This is especially true during outdoor activities when sweating increases rapidly. Exercising outdoors without drinking water can dangerously threaten your life with heat-related illnesses.
Drinking water only when feeling thirsty is dangerous. During physical activities that require focused attention, dehydration can occur without the person feeling thirsty. Therefore, during outdoor summer exercises, it is important to develop a habit of drinking water regularly regardless of whether you feel thirsty or not.
▲ Choosing appropriate workout attire
It is recommended to choose white-colored workout clothes with high light reflectivity for summer exercise. Additionally, wearing relatively loose-fitting sportswear rather than tight-fitting ones is more effective in preventing heat-related illnesses through ventilation. Selecting sneakers with excellent breathability features is also effective in preventing foot odor and athlete's foot.
On the other hand, the so-called 'sweat suits' that are popular among some dieters should be avoided during the summer. Since the principle of sweat suits is to block air circulation inside the clothing to induce more sweating, using them in summer can increase the risk of heat stroke caused by elevated body temperature and acute dehydration.
Avoid high-intensity exercise
Intense exercise conducted during the hot weather excessively raises heart rate, putting strain on the heart. The risk of falls due to dizziness caused by rapid electrolyte loss is also increased.
☆Therefore, it is safer to reduce exercise intensity by about 10-20% during the summer. ☆Even during long-duration or low-intensity exercise, taking a rest every 30 minutes to an hour is advantageous for preventing heat-related illnesses.
