Among fitness programs, swimming is the most popular sport. What are the benefits of swimming? Most people know that swimming can not only bring people psychological pleasure, but also shape a smooth and graceful body shape, regulate lung capacity and promote blood circulation. At the same time, it has an indelible effect on consuming excess fat in the body. Therefore, swimming is a multifunctional sport that combines health care and weight loss. Here are three benefits of swimming:
1. Improve the function of the cardiovascular system The cardiovascular system includes the heart, lungs, and blood vessels that carry oxygen to muscle cells. Overcoming the resistance of water when swimming requires more energy, which speeds up the heart rate and increases cardiac output. If you persist in long-term swimming exercises, the volume of the heart will increase, the myocardium will contract more powerfully, the resting heart rate will slow down, the stroke volume will increase, the blood vessel walls will thicken and become more elastic, and the efficiency of the cardiovascular system will be improved. In addition, the human body is in a supine position when swimming, and the pressure of water on the skin creates a massage effect. Therefore, it is easier for blood from the limbs, especially the lower limbs, to flow back to the heart than when standing upright on land. Moreover, the resistance of water makes it difficult for muscles to exert explosive force like on land. These characteristics are very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to exercise, as they can not only enhance their physical fitness, but also reduce the risk of accidents due to overly intense exercise. 2. Make the body composition ratio more reasonable, thus shaping a healthy body shape If you often watch swimming competitions, you will definitely envy the swimmers' round, slender, well-proportioned muscles and toned bodies. Because of the way their muscles work, swimmers generally have slender bodies, broad shoulders, flexible waists, and well-proportioned bodies. Some people may say, I want to lose weight by swimming, why is there no effect? In fact, if you want to lose weight through exercise, you must reach a certain intensity, persist for a sufficient period of time, and persevere. If you just fish for three days and then take a leisurely swim in the swimming pool for two days, it will certainly not have any effect. The results are the same if you approach running, cycling, or any other exercise this way. 3. Prevent diseases, treat and recover Due to the stimulation of cold water, long-term swimming exercises can enhance the body's ability to resist cold and adapt to the environment, prevent diseases such as colds, and make the body stronger. Because the body lies flat when swimming, and the buoyancy can fully stretch the spine, it has a certain rehabilitation effect on some spinal patients. Swimming can also be used as an exercise prescription to treat some chronic diseases, such as chronic gastrointestinal disease or chronic bronchial asthma, etc. For some people who are not suitable for upright exercise, such as obese patients, if they adopt running and other methods, the legs and feet will be overloaded due to gravity, which may easily lead to injuries. At this time, swimming is a good alternative form of exercise. According to research by an American scientific organization, breaststroke and butterfly stroke can enhance women's sexual ability.Swimming is very helpful to women. Different swimming postures exercise different muscles and have different effects on the body. Among them, breaststroke and butterfly stroke are most suitable for women. The frog pose and butterfly pose require the use of the thigh and pelvic muscles. Regularly practicing these two poses and exercising for a long time can not only effectively prevent diseases such as uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, and bladder prolapse, but also enhance women's sexual function due to the firmness of the abdominal muscles, making the feeling during sex more wonderful. Different swimming postures exercise different muscles and naturally have different effects on the body. Breaststroke involves opening and closing the legs, so it exercises the female pelvic muscles and perineal muscles more and can effectively improve the abdominal muscle function. The butterfly stroke requires the body to rise and fall like a dolphin, and requires higher strength in the waist and abdomen than the breaststroke. Therefore, people who lack physical strength generally cannot swim the butterfly stroke. On the contrary, if a person can swim the butterfly stroke, it means that she is very strong. Compared with other swimming styles, the butterfly stroke has a greater range and intensity of movement for the abdomen and buttocks, and these parts are exactly the parts that require the most strength during sexual intercourse. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that swimming more breaststroke and butterfly stroke can improve women's sexual function. Swimming can regulate women's endocrine system, make the skin smooth and tender, and relax the mood. These factors may become "aphrodisiacs" at the right time, increasing women's feeling of pleasure during sex. Among all swimming styles, breaststroke and butterfly stroke will benefit women more. In addition, if a woman's pelvic muscles are loose, she will suffer from diseases such as uterine prolapse, rectal prolapse, and bladder prolapse. Swimming, especially breaststroke and butterfly stroke, focuses on strengthening the pelvic muscles, which has a certain effect on fixing organs such as the uterus and preventing prolapse. For women who have already suffered from prolapse, it can also play an auxiliary treatment role. Swimming is a very popular sport, and its benefits, such as giving hydrotherapy to muscles throughout the body and improving blood circulation, are well known. For women whose sex life is becoming increasingly dull, swimming can become a "motor" of sexual power and improve sexual ability. |
