The heat is coming. Swimming is not only the entertainment of this season, but also a sport that people like. Frequent swimming will bring us a lot of benefits. Now let's talk about what benefits swimming can bring to human health!
What are the benefits of swimming
1. Increase resistance
In the process of swimming, the human body is a process of constantly releasing heat. In this process, the nervous system will react to speed up the metabolism and enhance the body resistance. Especially in winter swimming, due to the enhancement of temperature regulation function, it is very good to adapt to temperature changes, not easy to catch a cold.
2. Body building
When swimming, people usually use the buoyancy of water to lie prone or supine in the water, relax and stretch the whole body, so that the body can get comprehensive, balanced and coordinated development, and make the muscle lines smooth. In the water movement, the impact of the ground on the bone is reduced, the probability of bone aging is reduced, and the bone joint is not easy to deform. The resistance of water can increase people's exercise intensity, but this intensity is different from the equipment training on land. It is very soft, and the intensity of training can be easily controlled in the aerobic field. It will not grow very stiff muscles, and can make the lines of the whole body smooth and beautiful.
3. Increase vital capacity
Swimming is very effective in improving vital capacity. It also helps you learn how to breathe in more fresh air and emit more carbon dioxide. Compared with runners, swimmers have higher vital capacity, smoother heart rate and lower blood pressure.

4. Swimming can lose weight
Swimming when the body is directly immersed in water, water not only resistance, and thermal conductivity is also very good, heat dissipation speed is fast, so consume more heat. Experiments show that: the heat consumed by running in a standard swimming pool for 20 minutes is equivalent to one hour on land at the same speed, and the heat consumed by staying in water at 14 ℃ for one minute is as high as 100 kilocalories, which is equivalent to the heat emitted in air at the same temperature for one hour. It can be seen that many people who want to lose weight will get twice the result with half the effort by exercising in water.
5. Relieve pressure
Nowadays, the fast pace of life, work pressure, has become a normal city life. Swimming can stimulate the secretion of endorphin in the body and relieve the pressure of daily work and life. Like yoga, people can fully relax their body, make people calm, eliminate external interference, become more focused, reduce tension and depression.
