What sports are there in winter?

First, seven events suitable for winter sports

1, ice hockey Ice hockey, also known as ice hockey, originated in Canada and developed in Europe and North America. 1956 was listed as the official event of the 7th Winter Olympics.

2. Skating. Skating is a winter sport. People skate on the ice in skates. Originated from Holland in 10 century. Skating includes speed skating, short track speed skating and figure skating.

3. skiing. Skiing is a winter sport, and athletes slide on the snow with ski poles and skis. Originated in the snowy areas of northern Europe. Skiing sports include cross-country skiing, platform skiing, alpine skiing, Nordic mixed skiing and freestyle skiing.

4. snowmobiles. Snowmobile is a kind of collective sled, which uses rudder and steering wheel to control the sliding movement on artificial ice track. 1924 was listed as an official event in the first Winter Olympics.

5. sleigh. Sleigh originated in the Swiss Alps and is a winter sport, which requires wooden or metal double sleigh skateboards to slide down and turn at high speed on special ice and snow lines.

6. Winter swimming. Strictly speaking, it refers to swimming in outdoor waters (including natural waters such as rivers, lakes and seas and artificial waters such as reservoirs) at natural water temperature in winter. That is to say, beginning of winter and beginning of spring, supplemented by the temperature below 10℃, are used as winter standards to define winter swimming; Taking the water temperature as a sign, the national winter swimming is divided into four levels: the temperature 17℃ is the starting point for winter swimming; The water temperature of 8℃ in winter swimming is a sign of cold. /kloc-the water temperature below 0/7℃ gives people a cold feeling, and below 8℃ there is a cold feeling and strong cold stimulation.

7. jogging. Jogging is an ideal exercise, which can enhance blood circulation and improve heart function. Improve blood supply to the brain and oxygen supply to brain cells, and relieve cerebral arteriosclerosis. Running can also effectively stimulate metabolism, increase energy consumption and help to lose weight and keep fit. For the elderly, running can greatly reduce muscle atrophy and obesity caused by inactivity; Reduce the aging of cardiopulmonary function; It can lower cholesterol, reduce arteriosclerosis and help prolong life. In recent years, scientists have also found that people who insist on jogging have little chance of developing cancer.

Second, the five benefits of winter sports

1, winter exercise can enhance cold resistance.

People who insist on winter sports will have stronger cold resistance than the average person. Because people exercise in a cold environment, it can improve the excitability of the cerebral cortex, promote its coordination with various organs and systems in the body, enhance the function of the central nervous system to regulate body temperature, and balance the heat generation and heat dissipation in the body, thus making the body adapt to cold weather.

2. Exercise in winter can eliminate fatigue.

Winter exercise can speed up blood circulation, increase oxygen supply to the brain and enhance blood vessel elasticity. This can eliminate the brain fatigue caused by long-term work, and also enhance memory and improve learning.
