Smoking after exercise will accelerate the metabolism of the human body. All organs in the body are in a high-level working state, and a large amount of smoke will enter the body. After exercise, the body cannot be satisfied because it needs a lot of oxygen, and it is more vulnerable to carbon monoxide, nicotine and other substances. Not only can it not eliminate fatigue, inhaling this foggy air will also affect the gas exchange in human alveoli, resulting in chest tightness, asthma, dyspnea, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms due to insufficient oxygen supply after exercise.
Smoking will also have an impact on the strength level and endurance level of the body. A study once showed that the same strength training, the non-smoking group increased 26% more muscle and 20% more strength on average than the smoking group.
Moreover, inhaled nicotine will also have a huge impact on testosterone levels in the body. Nicotine will limit the regulation of gonadal hormones in the body, reduce the secretion of testosterone, and directly affect the fitness effect. Moreover, testosterone can not only enhance the fitness effect, but also has a great relationship with male sexual function.
"One night of indulgence, seven days of practice in vain". Smoking makes your body consume too much carbon monoxide, which will hinder the absorption and utilization of oxygen by muscles, directly leading to the decline of muscle explosive power and the weakening of fitness effect. And smoking after fitness is more harmful than usual. Although fitness can offset the harm of smoking, we can't use it as an excuse to smoke.
