Why does Chinese medicine say that winter is not suitable for running?

This is mainly because the winter weather is cold, running may not achieve a good weight loss effect, but it will do some damage to people's bones and knees, mainly because the weather is too cold, people may not be able to warm up, which will lead to people not achieving the ideal fitness exercise effect, but will lead to muscle damage.

Cold weather will make the heart pump blood to the whole body harder, because blood not only supplies oxygen to muscles, but also undertakes the important task of regulating body temperature. In winter, it is more difficult to keep your body temperature, of course, your heart should work harder. If there is something wrong with the heart, winter sports will cause extra stress.

Precautions:

The best time to run is at night: the air quality in winter morning is not very good, which is not suitable for running. In the afternoon or evening, the air quality is suitable. At this time, people's physical quality and flexibility are at their best, which is suitable for high-intensity exercise. Running at this time is not easy to cause sports injuries. People with lumbar disc herniation have greater pressure on the lumbar spine at night and are more likely to be damaged. Fun running is not recommended. Pay more attention to running in peacetime.

Running in winter should be leeward: running against the wind is not conducive to maintaining a good running posture on the one hand, and it is easy to catch a cold on the other. Outdoor running suggests running against the wind as much as possible. If it is windy, you'd better run indoors.

People's Daily Online-Experts remind that morning exercises in winter should be sooner rather than later.
