What to pay attention to in autumn sports

It is easy to catch a cold in autumn, and changes occur in all aspects of the body. The skin becomes dry and the lips peel. These are the most common symptoms of autumn. Even in the autumn when the weather is changeable, you should still insist on exercising. What should we pay attention to when exercising in autumn? The weather is changeable, so the elderly should remember to put on more clothes when going out in the morning and evening. Also, children's physical constitution is relatively fragile at this time, so remember to put on more clothes for them appropriately.

1 Unlike summer, the temperature in the early morning in autumn is already a bit low. People usually sweat a lot when exercising, and if they are not careful, they are in danger of catching a cold. Therefore, you must not go outdoors in light clothes as soon as you get up, but give your body time to adapt. Especially for the elderly, do not get up immediately after waking up in the morning, because the intervertebral discs of the elderly are loose, and suddenly changing from a lying position to a standing position may cause a sprain of the waist and back. The elderly with hypertension and cardiovascular disease should be more careful when getting up. They can stretch in bed, stretch their joints, and rest for a while before getting out of bed.

2 From the humid and hot summer to autumn, the climate suddenly becomes dry and the temperature drops a lot. It is easy for some dryness and heat to accumulate in the human body. In addition, the humidity in the air decreases in autumn, which can easily cause symptoms such as dry throat, dry mouth and tongue, chapped lips, nose bleeding, and dry stool. In addition, the water lost during exercise will aggravate the body's reaction to lack of water. Therefore, you must drink more boiled water after exercise, eat more soft foods such as pears, apples, milk, sesame, fresh vegetables, etc., or drink more rock sugar pear water, winter melon soup and other foods to maintain the normal secretion of the upper respiratory tract mucosa and prevent sore throat.

3 For any kind of sport, warm-up exercises are necessary, because human muscles and ligaments will reflexively cause vasoconstriction and increased viscosity in the lower temperatures in autumn, the range of motion of the joints will decrease, the stretchability of the ligaments will decrease, and the nervous system's ability to command the muscles will also decrease without warm-up exercises. If you do not do sufficient warm-up exercises before exercise, it will cause joint ligament strain, muscle strain, etc., which will seriously affect your daily life, and exercise will become a kind of injury.

Autumn is a changeable season. The temperature drops sharply in the morning and evening, so remember to add clothes. The temperature may drop below zero, so the elderly and children are most likely to catch a cold in this season. Morning exercise depends on the weather. If the weather is good, go outside to stretch your muscles. If it rains and the temperature drops sharply, do some simple exercises at home. Autumn is different from summer. The skin becomes sensitive in this season, and the human body will change with the seasons.
