1. It's a training suit

It is advisable to choose clothing in bright colors and to remember to cover your head. On a hot day, it is worth putting on shorts and shirts with a short sleeve. In addition, comfortable shoes and socks are necessary to prevent overheating of the feet and to ensure comfort during exercise.

2. Is it possible for anyone to engage in physical activity on hot days?

Healthy people should keep a close eye on their body during exercise and not overdo it with high-intensity exercise, especially if the activity is done outdoors. It is therefore worthwhile to choose carefully the type, intensity and time of day for exercise. Those with cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, should first consult a doctor before exercise. High air temperatures are not conducive to record breaking.

3. What kind of physical activity to choose on hot days?

The duration of a single unit of training should not exceed one hour. Water effectively prevents overheating, but at the same time acts as a refresher, which increases the motivation for training. Physical activity during the heat must be adapted to the individual's preferences, abilities and level of development. Water sports such as swimming are a good choice in aerobic training. Of course, exercise in the morning or late afternoon should not have negative health consequences, but in the sunnyest hours, it is worth choosing a gym in an air-conditioned room or go out for low- and moderate-intensity activity.
