Physical activity can make a person more resilient, improve the efficiency of the brain and other organs, regulate sleep, help them achieve their ideal shape, and slow the aging process.
However, many beginners and even advanced gym visitors sometimes experience unpleasant symptoms that occur due to increased physical activity. You must be ready for them in advance.
We collected 6 of the most common side effects of training and prepared some recommendations on how to get rid of them.
Attention!
Any physical activity, especially if you are overweight or have a serious medical condition, should be started only under the supervision of an experienced technician and a doctor.
You should also pay attention to any changes in how you feel. If you are concerned about your condition, do not try to treat yourself, go see a specialist.
Muscle Twitching
The reasons: muscle spasms or twitching are caused by exhaustion and electrolyte imbalance.
What to do? Always drink water during your workout. You should drink at least cold water, but your best option is a sports drink that contains the microelements necessary for the body if training is difficult. Also, don’t forget to do some stretching after your workout.
Tearing And Nasal Stuffiness
The reasons: physical activity expands and narrows the vessels in the sinuses. Simple rhinitis and allergies are also possible.
What to do? Work out in air-conditioned gyms. When you are outdoors, try to stay off the roads.
Itching
The reasons: physical activity makes the heart pump more blood and widens all the vessels and capillaries. They activate nerve endings that send signals to the brain that are interpreted as itching.
What to do? Hit the gym regularly – your brain will get used to the trigger and stop reacting to it. The longer the intervals between workouts, the more itchy you will feel. If you have hives, you should see a doctor.
Impulses For Defecation
The reasons: The kicks and vibrations of the legs resonate in the gastrointestinal tract and literally cause all the organs to “wake up” and start working. This is more common for runners and there is even a special term for it: runner’s diarrhea.
What to do? Eat 2 hours before training and exclude fatty and high-fiber foods. Also, don’t forget to warm up before running.
Ice-cold Belly
The reasons: during a workout, there is more blood in the muscles than in the internal organs of the organs. Muscles produce a lot of heat that the skin gives off. This is why the stomach can be a bit cold to the touch.
What to do? This is a normal physiological reaction. After completing the workout, the sensation will disappear.
Nausea
The reasons: the flow of blood from the stomach and the tremors of the internal organs of the organs can cause some unpleasant sensations in the stomach.
What to do? Don’t eat too much fiber on training days. Better yet, memorize which foods are causing you the sensation and try not to eat them before hitting the gym.
If you feel nauseous, take a few sips of water or a sports drink. You can even have a soda. Eating candy or chewing gum can also be a good way to increase your blood glucose level.
