SWIMMING IN THE COLD..

By -
If you are a swimmer, you have to encounterd with cold weather and cold water also. What follows some guidelines for choosing cold weather swim gears plus some tips for training.

Cold weather drains body temperature in seconds, so go straight in to water from locker room and straight to a hot shower afterward.

Cold weather swimming require wearing a NEOPRENE swim cap and wetsuit. Wetsuit trap a thin layer of water in between you and neoprene, your body quickly warm up this water which keeps you warm. A fitted wetsuit should be tight enough and never have loose areas because this will negate the warm layer of water around your body by constantly letting in cold water. The main areas for bad fit are neck and hips so try to make a tailor custom made wetsuit.

Ear plugs also be used because of cold water draining in and out, ear canal causes dizziness and may be the one reason to lose body heat.

Webbed swim gloves must be there while swimming in cold water, it protects you from cold water as well as you get the benefit of resistant training while preserve hand dexterity.

The other gears which will help you are goggles, neoprene socks and neoprene hood.

Some training suggestions includes practice with your cold water gears inside first because it will help you get more comfortable with the gears.

Do a warm up, streches before going into water. Elevate your pulse by jumping for a minute or even take a jog.

Try to do Indoor training so you can manage the temperature of inside.

Thanks for the info... I think some equipment you mentioned like ear plugs and custom made suits, etc may be un known to some of our readers. I suggest we put some images between the post.

The veterens now provide competition at local , national and international level for an increasing number of old athletes. However there is a certain risks associated with exercise for older people that can be minimized by adequate medical screening as well as an awareness of, and appropriate response to warning symptoms. BENEFITS OF EXERCISE Exercise benfits whole body as well as psyche. The most benefits found in cardiovascular system thats why exercise decreased morbidity, mortality, and symptoms, and reduce cardiac rehospitalization. Exercise increased the demand on myocardium improves oxygen utilization, dilates capillaries and improves  the delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles. Inside the cells  the number of mitochondria increases enhancing aerobic metabolism. Exercise tends to lower the resting heart rate and resultant increased diastolic time allows improved coronary blood flow.. Exercise lowers the blood pressure andreduce obesity, these two ...

1) Eating Late: It is advisable and recommended that supper should be taken before 7pm in the evening because it aids weight loss.

ATHLETES AND RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA

By -
As we know athletes move throughout the world for their competition and training sessions. So they are encounterd by cold weather also and have to manage the risk of hypothermia because Cold weather facilitates the loss of body heat which can reduce body temperature. But it can managed by heat conservation or by increased heat production. Exercise and shivering increase metabolic heat production helping to offset body heat losses in the cold. Exercise increases peripheral blood flow facilitating heatloss, an effect that can persist for some time after exercise ceases. Prolonged exercises may lead to energy substrate depletion which compromise the maintenance of thermal balance during cold. The heat transfer coefficient is mainly influenced by ambient temprature, wind chill and clothing, when vasoconstrictor responses to cold are impaired body heat conservation declines. Chronic exertion impairs temperature control, when heavy physical activity in the cold is coupled with underfeedin...
