Hazard!! Swimming with a Full Stomach

DIRECT activity or exercise after eating will make your stomach feel uncomfortable, especially if the sport is swimming. According to the study, swim in the full stomach condition may increase the risk of drowning.

A study conducted at the Tokyo Women's Medical University revealed that the lag time between the meal with a dip associated with the risk of death. Jedanya shorter, the greater the risk of accidents resulting in death.

The researchers revealed that after analyzing 536 cases of deaths that occurred between April 2000 until December 2007. The analysis is based on the results of an autopsy that revealed the conditions and causes of death experienced by the victims.

Other conditions were observed between levels of alcohol in the blood and the remaining residue or solid food in the stomach of the victim was observed with the naked eye. The presence of residual solids showed that the victim did not eat for too long before he died.

Among the cases of death due to accidental factors, as much as 79.4 percent, or about 27 of the 34 cases occurred in fully charged condition of the stomach the food. This means that most cases of accidents resulting in drowning victims are associated with feeding activity shortly before.

While the deaths of 111 suspected cases motivated attempt suicide, 51 cases of which are done in a way to drown himself. A total of 43.1 percent of suicides committed by drowning themselves in situations where a full stomach.

Based on the percentage of cases lost due to accidents with the percentage of suicide cases, the condition of the stomach contents have more to do with death as an accidental drowning victim. In the case of suicide, the stomach contents have no effect because of the efforts to end life can be done anytime.

"This study proves what we already believe all this time, based on the observation of a case by case," writes Prof. Peter Venesis in an editorial in the journal Medicine, Science and the Law, as quoted from Medicalnewstoday, Tuesday (26/7).
Prof Venesis reveals, a full stomach condition increases the risk of drowning in some ways are as follows.

A. Trigger satiety mintahan bowels when submerged, which if clogged throat can cause shortness of breath.
2. Blood flow is concentrated in the abdomen to perform the digestive process, so that the brain is deprived of blood and is easy to lose consciousness.

In addition to the condition of the bowels, the study also revealed that levels of alcohol in the blood also increase the risk of drowning. The higher levels of alcohol in the blood, the greater the risk of accidents while swimming, which can lead to death

Benefits of Swimming


Swimming is one sport that can improve one's health that jg is a sport without the force of gravity (non weight barring). Swim fairly minimal risk of physical injury because of the time swimming around the weight held by the water or float. In addition swimming is a sport that most recommended for those who are overweight (obesity), pregnant women and patients with bone or joint problems arthritis. Swimming has many benefits that can be felt if we do it correctly and regularly, the benefits include:

A. Build muscle
When swimming, we move almost all the muscles in the body, from head, neck, upper limbs, chest, abdomen, back, hips, lower limbs, and feet. When moving in the water, the body expends energy is greater because they have to 'fight' the mass of water that can strengthen and flex the muscles of the body.
2. Enhance the ability of cardiac function and lung
Movement of water pushed and kicked by members of the body especially the hands and feet, can stimulate blood flow to the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. That is, the swim can be categorized as aerobic exercise in the water.
3. Increase height
Swimming is good and right will make the body grow taller (to which is still in the growth of course).

5. Burn more calories

Before swimming, ag body does not 'surprise', it is recommended to warm up movements to prevent muscle cramps at the same time also serve to increase body temperature and heart rate gradually and also cool down after swimming to body temperature and heart rate did not decrease drastically with how to swim slowly for 5 minutes.

For heating can be started by doing light movements, such as swinging arms and legs or walking around the pool for 10-15 minutes. Then gradually start with one lap to cross the pond, then rest for 30 seconds several times and peak swimming for 20-40 minutes without stopping. After several weeks, the exercise could be improved. Instead, changing the style of swimming so that all muscles trained.

The only 'shortage' of this sport is apparently less favorable for bone health. Absence of gravity forces them to swim just a bad influence on bone mass. To fix this, you can do other sports, like jogging, walking, or cycling.

Back Crawl Stroke Technique

 Back Crawl Stroke Technique
Back Crawl Stroke Technique Style is most different from the others because we are in a position face up, so that we can not look ahead. A. Leg movements a. Left and right legs move alternately up and down (like someone who is running / like a free style but with a face up position) b. Foot driven alternately by the pool fast enough so that you do not stray / turn
2. Hand movements a. Initial position of the arms straight above your head b. Then immediately back pedaling toward waist c. Then lift out of the water and return to starting position d. Do the same with your other hand
So moving right and left hands alternately, when the left hand out of the water, the right hand into the water, and so on.
3. Movement of a combination of hand, foot and take a breather Feet keep moving as in point 1 above. With this style, there will be no problem in making breathing difficult because we face is above water. Maybe the problem is whether we have reached the end of the pool or not, because we can not see it (our eyes facing upwards). This can be overcome by calculating the movement of the hand.
Tips: 1) Position the feet do not get too on the water surface, but rather to the entry into the water (this will help speed .. also make it easier to stay on top of head) 2) The foot continues to move, do not stop (this is the pool that we did not stray / turn). 3) The soles of the feet slightly straightened so as to be straight / parallel to the leg bone 4) Position the legs adjacent to one another. 5) The chin is rather near to the chest, this will help speed in swimming. 6) movement of the hand when entering the water, then the palm of the hand into the water first (it does reduce the resistance of the water)
