How to exercise safely in hot weather
英文原文 C2
Soaring temperatures pose a significant threat to long-term health by discouraging physical activity, according to scientific warnings. Here are strategies to maintain your fitness during intense heat. Maintaining an active lifestyle during hot weather presents considerable challenges. This is why the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, has introduced controversial 22-minute hydration breaks halfway through each match. With the powerful El Niño weather pattern predicted to bring record temperatures this summer, the conditions for exercise are expected to be particularly harsh. Enduring a run or a football match in extreme heat can be not only uncomfortable but also perilous, increasing the risk of heatstroke. "Walking, cycling, outdoor exercise, and even daily routines such as walking to work become more physically taxing and less enjoyable when temperatures soar," explains 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 for outdoor exercise, we may inadvertently contribute to long-term health risks.

高温天气对长期健康构成重大威胁，因为它会抑制人们的体育活动，科学警告如是说。以下是一些在酷热天气中保持健康的方法。
在炎热的天气中保持活跃的生活方式面临着巨大的挑战。这就是为什么2026年将在美国、加拿大和墨西哥举行的FIFA世界杯（国际足联世界杯）在每场比赛中半场休息时引入了有争议的22分钟补水时间。随着强大的厄尔尼诺天气模式预计将在今年夏天带来创纪录的高温，预计运动条件将特别恶劣。
在极端高温下跑步或踢足球不仅不舒服，而且危险，增加了中暑的风险。
“当气温升高时，散步、骑自行车、户外运动，甚至像上班步行这样的日常活动都会变得更加劳累，不那么愉快，”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-维图尔斯基解释说。
然而，如果我们每次户外运动过于炎热时就减少我们的体育活动，我们可能会无意中增加长期健康风险。
