After an exercise session, it is good if one immediately sit under a fan to cold down the body:\n\na) while the body is still sweating?\nb) after finish sweating?

no to both a/b because when your body is sweating and after it is sweating, the cold air will cause your body to experience a sudden temperature change. so you will probably catch a cold.

Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind sweating in!!!  For changing temps keep in mind that keeping your body warm post-work out is important.  Wear breathable fabrics to help with moisture & keep a towel handy if you are really into long cardio routines.  I personally love New Balance for jogging, however, look into a cross-trainer for maximizing your workout routine if you are doing weights & cardio.  Take care.

Don't stop sweating. It is your bodies device to cool itself. The result would be dehydration. Your body chivers to warm itself. Try cutting down on your salt intake, if your blood pressure is allittle high.

it doesn't matter if it is in cold water. i'm on the swim team. and i usually get hungry after practice but i waste a lot of my energy swimming, so i gain it all back with food :) yeah, swimming is a good way to lose calories. i lost about 7 pounds since i've joined.

I would use a heating pad and massage. You can avoid this by warming up before stretching or exercising. Drink a lot of water.

Swimming for exercise\nSwimming does not significantly reduce weight and it is l poorly understood as a meassure for reducing fat. There are many other be nifits in swimming. Please read -\n\nA still-water swimming machine where the swimmer exercises against the pull of a bungee cord.Swimming is a good form of exercise. Because the density of the human body is approximately similar to that of water, the body is supported by the water and less stress is therefore placed on joints and bones. Therefore, swimming is frequently used as an exercise in rehabilitation after injuries or for those with disabilities.\n\nResistance swimming is one form of swimming exercise. It is done either for training purposes, to hold the swimmer in place for stroke analysis, or to enable swimming in a confined space for athletic or therapeutic reasons. Resistance swimming can be done either against a stream of water set in motion by a (usually) self-contained mechanical device (often termed a swimming machine) or by holding the swimmer stationary by means of elastic attachments.\n\nSwimming is primarily an aerobic exercise due to the relatively long exercise time, requiring a constant oxygen supply to the muscles, except for short sprints where the muscles work anaerobically. As with most aerobic exercise it is believed to reduce the harmful effects of stress. While aerobic exercises usually burn fat and help with losing weight, this effect is limited in swimming, even though being in cold water burns more food energy to maintain body temperature.\n\nThe reason that swimming does not significantly reduce weight is still poorly understood, but seems to be related to the better heat conduction of water. A number of reasons are suspected.\n\nWater cools the body much faster than air and most researchers believe that subsequently the body aims to maintain a layer of fat under the skin for insulation. \nIt is believed that appetite decreases as the body temperature increases, as for example during exercise. However, during swimming the body is cooled down almost instantly as the surrounding water is usually cooler than the body temperature, and some researchers believe that this may actually increase the appetite. This assumption is not yet proven by research. \nFast swimming requires a high level of effort, meaning glycogen rather than fat is burned. Prolonged exercise at lower intensity is better for fat-burning. \nSome researchers also believe that the metabolism of the body increases at higher body temperature, burning more food energy. Again, during swimming the body is cooled down by the surrounding water, reducing the metabolism, and subsequently the amount of food energy burnt. This assumption is also not yet proven by research. \nThere is also a theory that people with a genetically higher body fat content tend to be more successful as swimmers since the increased buoyancy of the fat aids in floatation or the rounder shapes offer less resistance to the water. \nSwimming exercises almost all muscles in the body. Usually, the arms and upper body are exercised more than the legs. In competitive swimming, excessive leg muscles can be seen as a disadvantage as they consume more oxygen, which would be needed for the muscles in the arms, although this depends on the swimming style. While breaststroke generates significant movement with the legs, front crawl propels the body mainly with the arms.\n\nSometimes the swimming consists of swimming laps using a conventional stroke, such as the front crawl; other forms can include different forms of exercise performed in the water, such as water aerobics.\n\nSwimming may be good for asthma sufferers.\n\nSwimming uses all three energy production systems, which are the creatine phosphate system, anaerobic fermentation (also known as Lactic acid buildup system), and the aerobic system. These three systems produce energy in form of ATP to enable muscle use (among other body functions).

Exercise!  Our lifestyles now are so sedintary, but our bodies are built for movement and activity.  Get out, get your heart rate up and break a sweat.  The high you get from exercise leads to a great state of bliss later on and also rids the body of toxins so that you feel better.  Have fun!

A good rule is to use ice on the injury for 20 min, then off for 20 min, then ice again for 20 minutes in the first 24 hrs.  NO HEAT until you ready to start exercising again, it can cause the injury to swell/ hurt/ deteriorate if you start to soon though.

I never heard it was bad, my walking machine has a fan built in and it helps me go further. I think when you're that hot, a fan wouldn't take the core temp down enough to hurt the muscles.

its your body's airconditioner, cool huh1

Hypothermia is a condition in which the core body temperature drops from normal to a few degrees below normal.\nRegular "cold" makes the body shiver- it's natural response to being cold and it's attempt to warm the body back up.  In short- shivering= good!\nHypothermia goes beyond regular cold, to a point where the systems in the body start to shut down (something like shock, where the extremities shut down first, then the core of the body from the bottom up, and lastly the brain), and shivering stops.\nShivering stopping is a bad thing- it means the body has no means to warm itself back up, and therefore it is life threatening and possibly fatal.\n\nTo help someone with hypothermia, remove them from the cold environment as fast as possible, remove and cold, wet clothing and donate heat to their body.  DO NOT just throw a blanket on them- the blanket acts like a thermos, which will keep the cold in, not give them the heat they need!  The best way to do this is hot water bottles, or to get into the blanket with them.  If they are fully conscious (not really likely- they will probably be confused, disoriented and somewhat "out of it"), you can give them hot beverages.  DO NOT give them alcohol.  Your body uses a lot of energy breaking down the alcohol molecules- so although the effect of alcohol is that "warm fuzzy feeling", really, it is the opposite, and will make them colder!\n\nI hope this helps.

Does a fan cool you down when it blows on you? As long as your breathe is cooler than the food, it will cool it.

It's really up to the runner. Some runners need the whole track suit plus the gloves and hat to keep their body warmth in their bodies. Some runners get really warm while running so they don't need it. However, during the cold weather it is really hard to get warm after starting cold, so I would suggest at least a light jacket or sweatshirt. Personally, I warm up in my sweats even on warm days because it is easier to get things moving, get the blood flowing. Then I'm in my T-shirt and shorts for the actual workout. That's what I would recommend if you don't get cold easily, because if you do the coldness will impair your running.\nHope that helps!

I would say "Please turn the A/C down" if I wanted the room to be warmer, since the A/C cools the air, and the more it's turned up, the cooler it makes the air.\n\nAnd to answer your last question ... ALL THE TIME! :)  Whether it's A/C or something else, often two people will have different ways to say or ask the same thing, and one or the other of us will have to clarify.  I don't think that's just you or me, but happens to everybody at one time or another!  \n\n.

Not necessarily evaporation of sweat.  It is the removal of ambient heat being put off by your body.  On a very cold, but not windy day, you can stand outside without a shirt on and feel somewhat comfortable.  The heat of your body is radiating into the air around you and staying there.  If the wind is blowing, then it is taking heat out of your body faster and making you feel cold.

If you're not sweating and you don't feel like your lungs are working hard you are probably not doing enough. You would be better off working out for 30 minutes at a higher intensity. Every body is different and I can't tell you what is going to work for YOU, but bottom line is you need to listen to your body. I would try maybe running, either on a treadmill or just on the street, and make sure you are working at a level appropraiate for you. Ignore the machine's readings. People get too caught up in that and they are so general. You need to raise your body temp enough to break a sweat and you need to be breathing hard enough that you can still carry on a conversation but feel like you would rather not. That's the rule that I use and it works for me.

The air blowing on the moisture in your skin has a cooling effect much in the same way of the body's built in ac: perspiration.
