Winter training - how to dress so as not to catch an infection?

Exercises at low temperatures are not particularly pleasant. However, their valuable effect on your overall health is a good reason to try out winter training. How should you dress so that physical activity in winter does not cause you to fall ill?

How should you dress for winter training so that you don't catch an infection?

Parents and grandparents have always said that the best way to keep the cold and negative temperature is to wear multiple layers of clothes. The use of several layers protecting the body against the cold will allow you to maintain optimal thermal comfort, which will certainly not lead to the development of infections and reduce the adverse effects of pathogenic microorganisms. Although physical activity will certainly increase the body's warmth and movement allows you to warm up, it is better to be safe than sorry.

 

Why? During winter training, there is a greater chance of uncontrolled and imperceptible cooling of the body. Although physical exertion will cause the body temperature to rise, cold gusts of wind combined with sweaty clothes (and body) will lead to a decrease in the aforementioned heat. This, in turn, is one of the first steps towards a deterioration of the immune system, which over time may lead to a cold and the development of a more serious disease (e.g. angina or flu).

 

However, it is worth remembering that winter workouts have many valuable advantages for the body. These include:

  • strengthening immunity
  • improving respiratory capacity
  • stimulation of skin microcirculation
  • beneficial effect on the regulation of the heart and the circulatory system

How should you dress to make outdoor exercise at low temperatures good for your health? First of all, you should choose professional training clothing that has been designed with athletes in mind.
