Hello People!🙋♂️
Trust y'all are healthy?
Okay... In this post we're going to discuss the health benefits of swimming.
Swimming is a sporting activity that involves deeping the body into the water through the use of various skills like breaststroke, butterfly stroke, etc.
It also refers to the act of sustaining the body in water without drowning.
Sports generally is said to have so many health benefits and swimming is no exception.
The various health benefits of swimming include:
- It builds cardiorespiratory fitness
- It builds muscle mass
- It burns calories
- It serves as an alternative when injured
- It relaxes the body during hot weather
IT BUILDS CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS
Unlike fishes and other aquatic animals that live in water, man is a terrestrial animal.
However when one swims, it tends to improve the endurance level of the person.
Also maximum oxygen consumption is improved and the heart strength is improved.
IF BUILDS BODY MUSCLE MASS
Another health benefit of swimming is that it increases the triceps muscle (the back of the arm). Swimming involves resisting the water pressure and this act goes a long way to build and improve the muscles.
Certainly being able to float in water requires the use of strength so as to effectively resist the water pressure thus toning and improving the muscles.
IT BURNS CALORIES
Another striking health benefit of Swimming is that it burns calories.
Calories are the amount of energy released when the body digests and absorbs food. However when consumed in excess, the body stores the excess calories as body fats.
These excessive calories are what the act of swimming tends to burn thereby reducing body fats and intending obesity.
IT SERVES AS AN ALTERNATIVE WHEN INJURED
When athletes and sportsmen are injured, they are often adviced to swim as to keep fit and maintain their fitness level.
Swimming keeps them in shape and also aids their recuperation. This happens because the act of resisting the water makes the muscles work hard without the strain. Thus, helping them exercise and remain in good shape even though injured.
IT RELAXES THE BODY DURING HOT WEATHER
There's nothing quite more interesting than like swimming during hot whether. 😀The coolness of the water tends to calm your nerves and relax the body.
Peace of mind.
