Disadvantages of women swimming

Swimming has become a form of exercise that more and more people love, because it can effectively shape the body lines and make the body lines look more beautiful. What is more important is to master a swimming skill, which may have a certain effect in preventing drowning in future life. However, most people only see the benefits of swimming and do not understand the disadvantages of swimming. Now I will explain to you the disadvantages of women swimming every day.

1. Is it harmful for women to swim every day?

Common infectious diseases

The place where people often swim is a public swimming pool, where many people have participated. There may be conjunctivitis, athlete's foot and other infectious diseases, so you should pay attention to choosing a good place and do your best to prevent them.

Otitis media

If you swim frequently without taking precautions, water may frequently enter your ears, which may lead to otitis media. If you suffer from rhinitis, regular swimming will make the inflammation worse.

Complications of arthritis

Arthritis is caused by cold and dampness. If you swim regularly without paying attention to maintenance, it is easy to induce arthritis.

Pulled muscles

Excessive swimming is bad for the body and it is easy to strain muscles over the years, so we cannot swim excessively.

2. Can swimming help you lose weight?

When swimming, the body is directly immersed in water. Water not only has great resistance, but also has very good thermal conductivity and dissipates heat quickly, thus consuming more calories. Just like a freshly boiled egg, the cooling speed in the air is much slower than that in cold water. Experiments have shown that the calories consumed by a person swimming in a standard swimming pool for 20 minutes is equivalent to one hour on land at the same speed. The calories consumed by staying in 14-degree water for one minute are as high as 100 kcal, which is equivalent to the heat dissipated in the air at the same temperature for one hour. In addition, swimming can help prevent sports injuries to the lower limbs and waist. When exercising to lose weight on land, due to the heavy weight of obese people, the body (especially the lower limbs and waist) has to bear a great gravity load, which reduces exercise ability, makes people easily fatigued, greatly reduces the interest in weight loss exercises, and may damage the joints and bones of the lower limbs. Swimming is conducted in water, and a considerable portion of the obese person's weight is borne by the buoyancy of the water, which makes the lower limbs and waist feel much more relaxed, and the risk of joint and bone injuries is greatly reduced. It can be seen that exercising in water can help many people who want to lose weight achieve twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, swimming is one of the most effective aerobic exercises for maintaining body shape.

3. Classification of swimming

The swimming method that has greater use value in military, production, and life services is called practical swimming. Such as crawl (freestyle), breaststroke, sidestroke, diving, treading water (standing swimming), water rescue, armed swimming, reverse breaststroke (backstroke) and dog paddling.

Such as freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly stroke (also known as dolphin stroke) and individual medley swimming composed of these four swimming styles, as well as relay swimming. Competitive swimming is a type of swimming in which the ranking is determined mainly by speed. It is conducted according to the national swimming competition rules and is called competitive swimming.
