Does the gym turn on the air conditioner in summer?

Many people will choose to go to the gym to exercise, because there are many fitness equipment in the gym, and there are professional coaches to provide guidance, which is very professional. However, in the summer, the weather is hot, and most people tend to sweat easily when exercising, so the gym may turn on some air conditioners. So, can the gym turn on air conditioners in the summer?

The pores originally have a very strong filtering function. When you sweat profusely, the filtering and protective function almost disappears. By the same token, when you sweat profusely during exercise in the summer, your body's pores will open. At this time, you will feel very cool when you turn on the air conditioner or fan, but the moisture and cold air from the air conditioner will go straight through the pores, skin, and muscles, reaching the deep meridians and joints, which can easily cause colds, muscle or joint pain, periarthritis of the shoulder and other cold-air diseases. Severe cases will occur in the summer; mild cases have cold and dampness hidden in the body and will occur in the winter of that year, manifested as stiff shoulders and neck, back pain, arthritis and rheumatism, etc. You are here to exercise your body, not to hurt yourself.

From a practical perspective, the cold air from the air conditioner will make the skin less relaxed and soft, and instead become tight. Once the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature becomes artificially cold. When practicing, you will either not be able to do it properly or you will easily hurt yourself. The same goes for joints.

So before the gymnastics class or the cycling class, turn on the air conditioner for a while.

Can I turn it off during class?

Of course, try not to turn on the air conditioner as much as possible. If you turn on the air conditioner before class, you must close the doors and windows, and the air will not circulate enough. Closing doors and windows will make the indoor air turbid, and you will feel difficulty breathing after a while. If it really is the hottest period, this may be a solution, but the effect of the exercise will be greatly reduced and it is not good for your health.

Why do so many people suffer from air-conditioning disease nowadays? Many people suffer from dizziness, fatigue, neck pain, colds, blocked sweat glands and inability to sweat, and tight shoulder and neck muscles in the summer. These are all manifestations of the inability of the Qi machine to operate normally due to air conditioning. After exercise, you can relax your shoulder and neck muscles and let the blood flow throughout the body to overcome these air-conditioning diseases.
