“Go out and refrain from physical fitness, even if you're unfamiliar with the heat.” Measures should be taken when the exercise resumes May 24, 8:55
Since the emergency declaration based on the Act on Special Measures against New Coronavirus is lifted except in Tokyo and Hokkaido, it is expected that more and more people will resume their voluntary movements. At the same time, we are calling attention to take thorough measures against heat stroke.
In anticipation of the resumption of club activities and sports club activities, which are expected to be due to the cancellation of the emergency declaration except in Tokyo and Hokkaido, the Japan Sports Association has put together specific precautions on its website.
First of all, taking into account that my physical strength has decreased due to refraining from going out and I may not be accustomed to the heat, be careful of the load of exercise, and take frequent breaks and hydration. I need to keep in mind.
Also, depending on the exercise, there are cases where the so-called "3 density" occurs, so it is recommended that you keep a sufficient distance from the people around you and wash your hands frequently.
On the other hand, although wearing a mask is recommended, the Sports Agency does not require it in physical education classes to avoid the risk of heat stroke, etc. It is important to avoid wearing high-performance masks that do not perform well.
Furthermore, in order to reduce the risk of heat stroke, we call for thorough basic measures against heat stroke, such as physical condition management before exercise and hydration.
