How to exercise safely in hot weather
英文原文 B2
High temperatures can pose a threat to our long-term health by discouraging physical activity, scientists caution. Here are some tips to stay active during hot weather. Maintaining an active lifestyle in hot conditions can be difficult. This is why the players in the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the US, Canada, and Mexico, are receiving extra, albeit controversial, hydration breaks at the 22-minute mark of each half. With the arrival of record-breaking temperatures this summer due to the strong El Niño weather pattern, exercising may become particularly challenging. Enduring a run or a football match in extreme heat can be not only uncomfortable but also risky, increasing the risk of heatstroke. "Walking, cycling, exercising outdoors, and even daily commutes on foot become more physically demanding and less comfortable when temperatures rise," explains Christian García-Witulski, an environmental lifestyle epidemiologist at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. However, if we reduce our physical activity every time the heat becomes too intense for outdoor exercise, it may lead to long-term health risks.

高温不仅会阻碍我们的身体活动，对长期健康构成威胁，科学家们提醒大家。以下是一些在炎热的天气中保持活力的建议。
在高温条件下保持活跃的生活方式可能会很困难。这就是为什么2026年世界杯（将在美国、加拿大和墨西哥举行）的球员在每个半场22分钟时都会得到额外的、尽管有争议的补水休息。由于今年夏季强厄尔尼诺天气模式的影响，气温创下纪录，锻炼可能会变得特别具有挑战性。
在极端高温下跑步或踢足球不仅会让人感到不舒服，还可能增加中暑的风险。
“当气温升高时，步行、骑自行车、户外锻炼，甚至步行上下班都会变得更加费力，舒适度降低，”阿根廷天主教大学的环保生活方式流行病学家克里斯蒂安·加西亚-维图斯基解释道。
然而，如果我们每次气温过高，不适合户外锻炼时都减少身体活动，这可能会导致长期健康风险。
