What should I do if my legs feel sore from using air conditioning?

In modern life, people enjoy the benefits brought by various advanced equipment. For example, air conditioning is a very advanced temperature control equipment that can provide a lot of convenience and comfort to people's lives. However, air conditioning artificially changes the indoor climate and can easily cause various physical illnesses. For example, using the air conditioner for a long time will cause symptoms of sore legs. Let's take a look at what to do if your legs become sore after using the air conditioner?

In a closed or relatively closed air-conditioned environment, the air flow is poor, causing the oxygen content in the indoor air to continue to decrease. At the same time, toxic gases emitted by indoor building materials and smoke produced by smoking are difficult to release to the outside through air convection, resulting in a continuous decline in indoor air quality. Because the room is highly airtight and there is insufficient sunlight, the indoor temperature and humidity are particularly suitable for the reproduction and survival of pathogens. The large-scale reproduction of indoor pathogens poses a serious threat to human health. It's easy to catch a cold if you go in and out. Symptoms include catching cold easily, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Your leg pain is because your legs have not adapted to the temperature of the environment, which causes local discomfort in the legs.

1. Contract your quadriceps frequently and moderately: Sit on a chair with your legs straight and your toes stretched out for 10 seconds. Then lift your toes and keep them stretched out for 10 seconds to tense your calf muscles. Finally, put your legs down and relax completely. Repeat this exercise for 15 minutes each in the morning and afternoon. This can exercise your leg muscles and improve joint stability.

2. Static balance half squat: Similar to the "standing posture" in traditional martial arts, stand up straight, with your chest and head up, feet shoulder-width apart, toes facing forward, and slowly squat down until you feel soreness in your knee joints. When your legs feel obviously sore and trembling, stand up and walk slowly to relax. Do 3 times in a set, with 20-60 seconds interval between each.

3. Plantar flexion and dorsiflexion of the ankle joint: Sit down, cross your right leg over your left leg like you are crossing your legs, hold your right heel with one hand, and press the front end of your foot with the other hand, slowly press down to the maximum limit, pause for a moment, and then pull your toes upwards to the maximum limit. Repeat 3-5 times, then switch to the left leg and repeat the above steps 3-5 times, then return to the original position. Then bend your toes inward and then outward; finally, rotate your feet and ankles one circle counterclockwise and one circle clockwise. Repeat the above steps 3-5 times.
