Many people take running as a way to keep fit. They like to run in hot weather and enjoy the feeling of being wet through with sweat (汗) while running. Cold weather during winter months, with low temperatures and freezing cold winds, may keep people from running in the open air.
However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, running in cold weather helps improve one's performance. Many runners might find it easier to run in winter than in hot weather. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. In addition, lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate is lower.
John Brewer is a professor of applied sports science at St. Mary's University in London. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room where summer and winter weather conditions are recreated. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions and their biological measurements were recorded and studied.From the study, every movement runners make produces heat. The heat can be really damaging unless the body can lose it. One way in which people lose heat is by sweating. The body loses heat through sweat. The body also loses it by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin and it puts more stress on the heart, especially in hot conditions because it's much harder to lose heat when the outside environment is warm. As the result shows, running in hot temperatures results in 6 percent higher heat rates.
When running in cold conditions, the body does not have to work hard to move blood to the skin surface. Therefore, it requires less energy. The most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing. Keep as dry as possible when exercising in low temperatures. Wear warm and light clothing to keep sweat away from your skin. So don't let winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for the low temperatures and start running.
Bullet comments (弹幕) are a new form of comments (评论) which move across the screen while a video is playing in recent years. It's not only a way of communication but also serves as a bridge connecting people in the digital age. However, different people have different opinions about it.
No matter what kind of video we're watching, as long as the bullet comments are on, it will turn into a comedy. From Jack |
With bullet comments on, we can see other people's thoughts, so we can have a different experience. Sometimes we can even find details of the video from them. It allows people to share their feelings. It turns the film-watching experience into an online social activity. I usually enjoy the movie and share my ideas with others in this way at the same time. From Mary |
When there were no bullet comments before, I had more thoughts on the movie. Ever since there have been bullet comments, I need to turn them on when I watch videos because some comments have something to do with the story. However, I do have less thoughts on the movie itself with them on. That makes me quite bored. From Tom |
If someone just keeps telling the story of the movie while you're watching it do you want to beat him at once? From Judy |
