Sweat properly in the sun: This is how you can exercise despite the heat

The best protection against heat is regular exercise in the heat. The body then adapts to temperatures and “learns” to sweat, for example, at a lower body temperature, that is, earlier than a couch potato. Also a trained person can better read the body’s signals and stop when it feels awkward. Signs that you need to take a break from walking are shortness of breath, a bright red head, pain, or unusual tiredness.

When there’s a sudden onset of warmth after a long cold period, like last Sunday, it makes more sense for recreational athletes to imitate animals. Dogs lie in the shade in the hottest midday sun. Then only people run across the landscape with stopwatches in their arms. Cooler morning or evening hours are better for training.

Clothing should be light-colored and breathable, a hat should be worn on the head, and UV sunglasses should protect the eyes. People who do not train well, have too much muscle, and are overweight are susceptible to heat-related circulatory problems. First of all, those who have had a lot of training in the studio should not forget about sun protection – also and especially when swimming, where the water acts like a magnifying glass.

It is better to start with a cooler body temperature. So don’t start running after sunbathing, wait half an hour. Experts recommend drinking between 600 and 800 milliliters per hour. Skipping sports in the heat is not an option, according to experts. Then you become really tired and sluggish.
