Skiing is first and foremost a sport, so it will definitely have a certain exercise effect on our bodies. In fact, skiing is a whole-body exercise, which requires the cooperation of all joints of the body to achieve the best balance effect in skiing, and at the same time, it can also exercise and improve the nervous system in all directions. Skiing can also enhance heart and lung function. Because skiing belongs to aerobic exercise, and besides indoor skiing, other sports can only be winter skiing. When people breathe cold air outdoors, it is a great test for blood circulation and oxygen delivery system in the body and a good exercise for cardiopulmonary function.
Skiing can effectively treat "winter depression". Winter depression, also known as "seasonal affective disorder" (SAD), refers to a depressive effect caused by weather changes. This kind of seasonal affective disorder is becoming more and more common among urbanites, especially mental workers and people who seldom take part in sports. The best way to treat this emotional disorder is to increase sunlight exposure and outdoor aerobic activity, which is just within the scope of skiing. Skiing can also lose weight. Although skiing looks a little different from traditional weight-loss exercise, it can still consume a lot of calories, which is good news for skiers who need to lose weight. According to a test result, skiing in the suburbs consumes 420 calories/hour (based on 60kg body weight). The faster you ski, the more calories you consume.
Skiing can also cure insomnia. In fact, skiing is a high-intensity strenuous exercise. After a day of skiing, people's body and brain will be extremely tired. Basically, people can fall asleep with a pillow. People who are tired are more likely to fall into deep sleep, which is good for the recovery and renewal of the body.
