the positive effects of swimming on health

Swimming is considered one of the most beneficial physical activities for our body, according to most doctors. Water training has a number of advantages over exercise in the gym, as it is less traumatic and provides a higher effect.

  • Posture correction: in water the load on the spine is reduced, which creates favorable conditions for correcting posture, restoring motor functions and preventing injuries.
  • Healthy lungs and heart: swimming helps improve lung ventilation, increases the range of motion of the thoracic spine and rib joints, which has a beneficial effect on the vital capacity of the lungs.
  • Restoration of the nervous system: the hydrostatic pressure of water and the effect on the nerve centers tone the nervous system, giving a feeling of vigor and increasing performance.
  • Flexible joints: due to the absence of compressive load, the joints move with a high amplitude, which helps to expand their movement and restore mobility.
  • Weight loss: Swimming activates your metabolism due to increased heat transfer in the water, which helps burn fat. The butterfly, the most difficult stroke in swimming, is especially effective for this purpose.

Swimming not only improves physical health, but also promotes emotional stability and ensures sound sleep. Incorporating this type of exercise into your daily life can provide significant benefits to your overall well-being.
