Is swimming the best exercise to exercise?
Swimming is a healthy exercise.

1, swimming can enhance myocardial function.

When people exercise in water, all organs participate in it, which consumes a lot of energy, accelerates blood circulation and provides more nutrition for sports organs. The acceleration of blood speed will increase the load on the heart, make the heart beat faster and contract strongly. People who swim regularly have excellent heart function. When swimming, the role of water makes it easy for limb blood to flow back to the heart and accelerate the heart rate. Long-term swimming will obviously increase the activity of the heart, contract strongly, increase the thickness and elasticity of the blood vessel wall, and increase the stroke output. Therefore, swimming can exercise a strong heart.

2. Swimming can enhance resistance.

The water temperature in the swimming pool is often 26 to 28 degrees, so soaking in water dissipates heat quickly and consumes a lot of energy. In order to supplement the heat emitted by the body as soon as possible and meet the needs of cold and heat balance, the nervous system reacts quickly, accelerating the metabolism of the human body, enhancing the adaptability of the human body to the outside world and resisting the cold. People who often take part in winter swimming are not easy to catch a cold because of the improvement of body temperature regulation function, and can also improve the endocrine function of human body and increase the function of pituitary gland, thus improving the resistance and immunity to diseases.

Swimming helps to burn fat and lose weight.

When swimming, the body is directly immersed in water, which not only has great resistance, but also has very good thermal conductivity and fast heat dissipation, so it consumes more heat. Like a boiled egg, the cooling rate in air is far less than that in cold water. Experiments show that the heat consumed by a person running in a standard swimming pool for 20 minutes is equivalent to running at the same speed 1 hour on land, and the heat consumed by staying in water with 100 minutes is as high as 100 kcal, which is equivalent to being in air with the same temperature. It can be seen that water sports make many people who want to lose weight get twice the result with half the effort, so swimming is one of the most effective fitness exercises.

Swimming can improve the flexibility of the body.

When swimming, people usually use the buoyancy of water to lie prone or supine in the water, so that the whole body can be relaxed and stretched, so that the body can develop comprehensively, symmetrically and harmoniously, and the muscle lines can be smooth. Exercise in water reduces the impact of the ground on bones, reduces the probability of bone aging, and the joints are not easy to deform. The resistance of water can increase people's exercise intensity, but this kind of intensity is very soft, which is different from the equipment training on land. It is easy to control the training intensity in aerobic area, and it will not grow stiff muscle blocks, which can make the whole body lines smooth and beautiful.
