In the field of fitness, swimming is like a bright pearl, emitting a unique light. It is by no means a simple swimming, but an all-round and in-depth self-care journey, which has a far-reaching and positive impact on various systems of the body. When the body is immersed in water, the core temperature rises, the blood circulation accelerates, the pumping function of the heart is strengthened and the elasticity of blood vessels is enhanced, which lays a solid foundation for cardiovascular health. Long-term adherence to swimming can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Under the adjustment of the breathing rhythm of the lungs in the water, the vital capacity is gradually improved, the respiratory muscles are stronger and stronger, and the oxygen exchange efficiency is greatly improved, so that the body is always in a state of full oxygenation.
From the musculoskeletal point of view, swimming is a model of systemic exercise. The limbs paddle and pedal in the water, and many muscle groups such as shoulders, back and legs cooperate in an orderly manner and continue to exert their strength. The muscle strength grows steadily and the lines become more symmetrical. Compared with land sports, the buoyancy of water greatly reduces the stress on joints, and protects knees, ankles and other parts from impact, but the flexibility of joints is optimized between water flow assistance and resistance, which is undoubtedly an excellent sports choice for people suffering from arthritis or the elderly. More wonderfully, the massage effect of water can not be ignored. The water gently wraps the body, like countless clever little hands stroking the skin, promoting subcutaneous blood circulation, accelerating metabolism, delivering sufficient nutrients to the skin, and making the skin full of luster and vitality.
When body and mind are immersed in the swimming pool, stress and anxiety drift with the tide. Underwater tranquility is isolated from the outside noise, and only breathing and breathing are accompanied by the rhythm of water flow. This kind of concentration can relax the tense nerves in the brain, and endorphins are secreted, resulting in a sense of pleasure. The long-term accumulated negative emotions can be resolved, and psychological resilience and emotional stability can be significantly improved.
In addition, swimming also has a strong social attribute. Meet like-minded swimmers in the pool, share skills and exchange experiences, add infinite fun and motivation to the road of fitness, and make a healthy lifestyle more attractive, immersive and beneficial for a long time. For long-term desk workers, swimming can effectively relieve neck, shoulder, waist and back strain; For patients with chronic diseases, regular swimming can help control sugar, reduce blood fat and stabilize blood pressure; However, under the stimulation of warm water, joint flexibility and cardiopulmonary function of the elderly can be improved.
