Why do we stop sweating after exercise?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's normal to sweat more after you finish exercising than you do while you exercise. Your body temperature varies throughout the day, going from around 97 degrees in the early morning to about 99 degrees in the early evening. Exercise raises body temperature considerably. When you exercise, more than 70 percent of the energy that powers your muscles is lost as heat. Less than 30 percent drives your muscles. Athletic competition can drive temperatures as high as 105 degrees without harming the athletes.

To keep your body temperature from rising too high, your heart pumps large amounts of heat in the blood from your hot muscles to your skin and you sweat. The sweat evaporates and cools your body. The amount of sweat that your body produces depends on the temperature of the blood that flows through your brain. When the temperature of the blood rises, you sweat more. During exercise, your heart beats rapidly to pump blood to bring oxygen to your muscles and to pump the hot blood from the muscles to the skin where the heat can be dissipated. When you stop exercising, your heart slows down also, pumping less blood to the skin. The heat accumulates in your muscles, causing blood temperature to rise higher, so you sweat more right after you finish exercising than during exercise.

it really depends on your governing body in usssa slowpitch you can use up to 31 ounces legally some people get by and use heavier bat but unless you are built like a gorilla a heavier bat is going to have a negative effect on your bat speed.

Effects of improper garbage disposal to your health?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Modernization and progress has had its share of disadvantages and one of the main aspects of concern is the pollution it is causing to the earth - be it land, air, and water. With increase in the global population and the rising demand for food and other essentials, there has been a rise in the amount of waste being generated daily by each household. This waste is ultimately thrown into municipal waste collection centres from where it is collected by the area municipalities to be further thrown into the landfills and dumps. However, either due to resource crunch or inefficient infrastructure, not all of this waste gets collected and transported to the final dumpsites. If at this stage the management and disposal is improperly done, it can cause serious impacts on health and problems to the surrounding environment.

Waste that is not properly managed, especially excreta and other liquid and solid waste from households and the community, are a serious health hazard and lead to the spread of infectious diseases. Unattended waste lying around attracts flies, rats, and other creatures that in turn spread disease. Normally it is the wet waste that decomposes and releases a bad odour. This leads to unhygienic conditions and thereby to a rise in the health problems. The plague outbreak in Surat is a good example of a city suffering due to the callous attitude of the local body in maintaining cleanliness in the city. Plastic waste is another cause for ill health. Thus excessive solid waste that is generated should be controlled by taking certain preventive measures.

Impacts of solid waste on health

The group at risk from the unscientific disposal of solid waste include - the population in areas where there is no proper waste disposal method, especially the pre-school children; waste workers; and workers in facilities producing toxic and infectious material. Other high-risk group include population living close to a waste dump and those, whose water supply has become contaminated either due to waste dumping or leakage from landfill sites. Uncollected solid waste also increases risk of injury, and infection.

In particular, organic domestic wasteposes a serious threat, since they ferment, creating conditions favourable to the survival and growth of microbial pathogens. Direct handling of solid waste can result in various types of infectious and chronic diseases with the waste workers and the rag pickers being the most vulnerable.

Exposure to hazardous waste can affect human health, children being more vulnerable to these pollutants. In fact, direct exposure can lead to diseases through chemical exposure as the release of chemical waste into the environment leads to chemical poisoning. Many studies have been carried out in various parts of the world to establish a connection between health and hazardous waste.

Conclusion:

Kickboxing in general, is very beneficial to those who practice it. It builds many of the needed skills in life. In addition, it builds a healthy mind, body and soul. Women in particular can benefit from kickboxing. It teaches self-defense, which is a very good thing to learn because of today's modern situations among young people. On the down side, kickboxing may result in injury. However, people face injury in any sport. Because of padding and protection, kickboxing is among one of the safest sports out there! I have been taking kickboxing for quite some time now. My grades used to be the worst. But ever since I took kickboxing, I burned off all that stress and excess energy. My grades improved greatly. Even my gym grades! I made the honor roll and also went to a good high school. I would recommend kickboxing to anyone who wants to take an exciting, fun sport.

The safest type of stretching for beginners to start with is?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are 7 different types of stretches:

Static

Dynamic

Isometric

Ballstic

Passive

Active

PNF

Begginers should start with the safest types of stretching.

  • Dynamic is also a movement stretch but a much more controlled and relaxed movement. This is considered a safe stretch for beginners. (ex. - leg swings, arm rotations, torso twists.)
  • Active is when you assume a position and then hold it there with no assistance other than using the strength of your own muscles. this is also considered for beginning stretchers. (ex. - sitting on ground and reaching for your toes, standing andholding something for balance while pulling your knee up into your chest)

Is caffeine banned at the Olympics?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, caffeine used to be one of the substances checked for by the IOC but the World Anti-Doping Agency removed caffeine from its list of banned substances in 2004. A urinary test that returned an amount of 12 micrograms of caffeine per milliliter was considered by the IOC as a deliberate attempt to gain an advantage. Although not banned, it is still being checked for and should the WADA find enough athletes that have an elevated level of caffeine in their system, they will revisit their policy to determine whether it should go back on their list of banned substances. Bakhaavaa Buidaa of Mongolia was stripped of his silver medal in judo at the 1972 Games in Munich due to elevated levels of caffeine. Alex Watson, a fencer from Australia who competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul was also banned due to an elevated level of caffeine in his system.

How does exercise help to achieve a balance for your body?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Balancing in any form -- whether it be yoga, martial arts, other sports, or simply when one walks with correct posture -- benefits the body because it strengthens the smaller "stabilizing" muscles in the body. Most strengthening exercises are directed at the larger muscles, which is fine if you want to increase your gross strength. However, strengthening the smaller, "stabilizing" muscles enables the body to be more versitile, and allows a person to be able to do tasks that don't simply rely on gross strength.

Are men stronger than horses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Horses are much stronger than men. Very few horses know that they are bigger and more powerful than us, although if they did, they probably wouldn't listen to us at all, knowing that we can't force them to do it. Think about the loads that horses carry, could you carry them?

Horses weigh 1000 pounds and have crushing hooves that would knock a human out to death very easily. In the old days of midwest, a single horse could pull a large wagon for miles and miles over trails, while there would need to be at least 8 very healthy, very strong men to do that. A horse also is quite bigger and taller than a man.

Why do you breath faster when you execrise?

User Avatar

Your body is being worked harder, therefore uses more oxygen, water, and food.

So you breath harder to get in that extra needed oxygen.

The more you run however and gain endurance then slower breathing will be possible, this is known as being "conditioned".

Yes it is. You can workout at any time of the day but remember not to workout heavy after a strenuous or a tiring day. Also do not workout with a full stomach. Having a meal before a workout is not advised and if you are hungry you can eat a little to satisfy the hunger and give you the energy to work out. But working out with a full stomach is not advised

How is VO2max measured?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

VO2 max is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption as measured during incremental exercise, most typically on a motorized treadmill. In general clinical and athletic testing, this usually involves a graded exercise test in which exercise intensity is progressively increased while measuring ventilation and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration of the inhaled and exhaled air.
