How to exercise safely during high temperatures

Rising summer temperatures are making outdoor physical activity increasingly difficult and potentially dangerous, scientists warn. According to experts, extreme heat can not only affect exercise performance, but also increase the risk of serious health problems such as heat stroke.

According to health and environmental researchers, everyday activities such as walking, cycling or running become more tiring and less safe when temperatures rise significantly. They point out that this could lead to a decrease in physical activity in the population, with possible long-term consequences for public health.

Experts also warn that climate change could lead to an increase in premature deaths if people significantly reduce physical activity due to the heat.

According to researchers, during exercise the body produces heat and tries to cool itself through sweating and blood flow to the skin. In hot conditions, this process becomes less efficient, increasing fatigue and strain on the heart.

Experts suggest several measures to exercise more safely in high temperatures:

Choose the coolest times of day, such as morning or evening.

Prefer shady places to avoid direct exposure to the sun.

Control humidity, as it reduces the body's cooling effect through sweating.

Reduce the intensity or duration of exercise on very hot days.

Take more frequent breaks and avoid excessive strain.
