Campaign for winter sports

The presence of certain health complaints and the temperature falling below minus 5 degrees is when it is really not worth taking the risk, but the cold air has many positive effects for us.

Fresh air

Thanks to the cold, the air can be cleaner and fresher because the air can contain more oxygen, which can improve endurance and increase sports performance. Of course, this applies far from exhaust gas and densely populated settlements.

Burning calories

Movement in the cold increases the body's heat production, so you can burn more calories during the same intensity of training as in a warmer environment, thus helping you to control your body weight.

Muscle booster

The body has to work harder to keep warm, so the muscles are used more intensively. This can help increase muscle mass and endurance.

Increases metabolism

It can stimulate the metabolism, since more energy is needed to keep the body warm. In this way, it can help you reduce your body weight or maintain it ideally.

It strengthens the immune system

Exercising regularly even in cold weather can strengthen the immune system and help prevent diseases. Cold can stimulate white blood cells and other immune system reactions.

Stress management

Exercising in the cold also has psychological benefits. One is that it can be an effective stress management method. In the cold, the body produces and releases endorphins, which have a mood-enhancing effect.

Sleep quality

Exercising in the cold can help improve sleep quality: it can be easier to fall asleep, deeper and more restful sleep.

Challenge and motivation

We have to get ourselves used to playing sports in the cold, which is a great challenge. At the same time, if we have enjoyed exercising and our well-being improves, it also means motivation to continue.

Variety

You can try new winter sports, such as skiing or ice skating.
