Summer beach: running on sand?
Now that is warm and the beach is part of the scene of a large number of cities (coastal and tourism in particular) there are many who may believe they do on the sand is a good choice.
Well, according to the advice of Runners.es would not be the best alternative. Consider the reasons why running is discouraged by the beach
“In principle, the practice is discouraged in the sand because it is unstable and then set up a secure surface for joints. The sand does not provide stability and produce a “swing” in the lower limbs only thing they will do is raise the risk of injury.
And although the surface is the sea, which can be a little better from this point of view, can not stand the weight of body and movement without compromise.
“Besides, running on the beach leads to muscle overload. While it may mean a higher attrition level of the muscles may also increase the risk of injury.
“Nor should we forget that the beach, especially during the summer, often crowded, and usually do not offer large areas to roam. The only time dle day where you could exercise more freely is very early in the morning, but not everyone is a very early riser.
-Another point to note is that the moisture next to the sea tends to be higher, and if this is added the heat and exercise that will cause even more sweating, you are then at greater risk of dehydration.
-Special attention to be barefoot, and even more jogging on the sand. You never know who might be in it, we can hurt or cling to something that then becomes infected and we should regret.
