The average temperature is high, the outdoor temperature is even higher. Many people will question why you have to suffer yourself by exercising in such conditions? It is a breakthrough, not a health improvement! ?
Of course, there are reasons - both objective and subjective - to explain that, but when caught up in an unchangeable schedule (such as the National Men's Football Team, many other teams and athletes have to practice daily, then the football tournament is rainy...) or have chosen (such as the rising pickleball movement), no matter how passionate, the important thing is to prepare the mind and mentality for oneself in harsh conditions. Once not carefully prepared, players are easily shocked, exhausted, injured, or even have more serious consequences.
Therefore, there is no superficial preparation, from clothes, scarves, sports hats, sunglasses (depending on the appropriate sport), " body water" that quickly loses water in the sun, so drinking water properly and at the right time must be considered part of a strategy. Drink electrolyte water about 30 minutes before the match, regularly take a small sip in the middle of the match, absolutely do not wait until you are thirsty to drink. If you exercise for more than 45 minutes, you should prepare more electrolyte and energy supplements to maintain stable blood sugar.
While ensuring the body has enough energy, warming up in hot weather needs to be more careful than usual, avoiding cramps, dizziness or sudden shortness of breath. After exercise, take time to cool down naturally - about 15 to 20 minutes, combined with hydration and gentle stretching. Signs such as headache, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, and cold sweating are warning signs to rest immediately, at a cool place and take necessary treatment measures.
Sports to be healthy, in harsh conditions is also a sign of courage. However, courage is the practice of being smart and wise, for oneself and one's family, not showing off or being defensive towards anyone...
