How to exercise safely in hot weather
英文原文 C1
Soaring temperatures pose a significant threat to long-term health by impeding physical activity, according to scientific warnings. Here are strategies to maintain an active lifestyle during intense heat. Endurance in hot conditions can be daunting. This is why the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled to take place in the US, Canada, and Mexico, has introduced controversial 22-minute hydration breaks halfway through each half. With an impending El Niño weather pattern forecasted to bring record temperatures this summer, the challenge of exercising outdoors is expected to intensify. Endurance sports and matches in extreme heat can be not only uncomfortable but also perilous, increasing the risk of heatstroke. "Walking, cycling, outdoor exercising, and even mundane activities such as walking to work become more physically taxing and less tolerable when temperatures soar," remarks Christian García-Witulski, an environmental lifestyle epidemiologist at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina. However, if we curtail our physical activity every time the heat becomes too intense, it can exacerbate long-term health risks.

高温天气对长期健康构成重大威胁，因为它阻碍了身体活动，科学警告如此指出。以下是一些在酷热天气中保持活跃生活方式的策略。
在炎热条件下保持耐力可能会让人望而却步。这就是为什么2026年FIFA世界杯（预定在美国、加拿大和墨西哥举行）在中场休息时引入了有争议的22分钟补水休息。随着预计即将到来的厄尔尼诺天气模式将带来创纪录的高温，户外锻炼的挑战预计将加剧。
在极端高温下进行耐力运动和比赛不仅会让人感到不适，还可能危险，增加中暑的风险。
“当气温升高时，散步、骑自行车、户外锻炼，甚至像上班步行这样的日常活动都会变得更加费力，难以忍受，”阿根廷天主教大学的环境生活方式流行病学家克里斯蒂安·加西亚-维图尔斯基评论道。
然而，如果我们每次气温过高就减少身体活动，这可能会加剧长期健康风险。
