The doctor called safe types of activity in hot weather

In summer, in hot weather, it is worth carefully choosing activities. About what is better to do in the heat, August 5, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by the internist of the IQ Plastique clinic, Dzerassa Khodova.

The therapist recommended yoga and Pilates classes. They are aimed at strengthening muscles, developing the vestibular apparatus, improving the functioning of the respiratory system and even getting rid of insomnia. They also have a fairly gentle effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system, which is very important in hot weather.

"Due to the high temperature, recovery slows down, and due to severe fluid loss, if it is not replenished in time, not only endurance decreases, but also the risks of developing an acute condition - heat stroke increase," explained Khodova.

In this regard, running, walking, cycling or swimming can be considered a good choice for summer training.

"Running outdoors can be an excellent cardio workout aimed at increasing endurance and burning calories. <...> And walking is a good alternative to running," the expert added.

To make physical activity more beneficial, the doctor advised exercising in the morning from 6:00 to 9:00 or in the evening from 19:00 to 21:00.

The industry is moving to a new development model

Earlier, on July 30, Kirill Antonov, senior instructor and methodologist at the Department of Restorative Medicine of JSC "Medicine" (Academician Roitberg Clinic), spoke about the benefits of outdoor training. According to the expert, the main advantage of outdoor training is increased oxygen saturation of the body. This enhances redox processes and accelerates recovery after exercise. Regular outdoor activities normalize sleep and stabilize the mental state.
