Sport-estivi

During the summertime, in addition to the beach, people often also start to get active, playing some sports such as beach volleyball and water skiing.
For those accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle, it is important to be very careful, as these sports could become challenging and sometimes dangerous.
Doing a lot of sports in the summer when you are not exercising at all could cause injury and cardiovascular risks, in fact, excessive heat can negatively affect the well-being of the cardiovascular system.
Due to high temperatures it is possible to suffer real heat stroke, especially for those who participate in sports during the hottest hours.

How to prevent cardiovascular risks

If you really do not want to do without sports in the summer, you need to be very careful and follow some tips:

  1. Playing sports during the cooler hours of the day.
    Many people think that the coolest time of day is in the evening, but it is actually early morning. If it is really impossible to play sports this early, then you need to wait until at least 6 p.m., when the sun will be milder and the coolness of the evening will help you avoid suffering heat stroke.
  1. Hydration.
    It is most important to drink plenty of water, especially when doing sports; in fact, dehydration could be particularly dangerous to our bodies.
  1. Choosing the right clothing.
    It is necessary to wear light-colored, light and breathable clothes, not cotton. In fact, this fabric absorbs sweat and becomes even heavier on contact with the body.
  1. Protect yourself from the sun.
    Before starting to play sports, it is advisable to use creams to protect yourself from the sun. There are also some on the market that are specifically for those who exercise and are sweat-resistant.
  1. Start training gradually.
    You should not overdo it right away, but it is important to understand what your body’s limits are, trying to rest and stop when you feel the need. It is also advisable not to choose activities you have never done before, which may be too heavy for you.
