Why do I feel itchy all over my body after running?

If you feel itchy after running, it is mainly because your pores open during the running process, which causes sweating and some adverse stimulation. This is related to the lack of physical exercise in daily life. You must pay attention to hydration when running and eat a light diet. As long as you pay more attention to physical exercise in daily life, this phenomenon should be significantly improved. You should also be aware of some precautions after running.

Can I sit down after running?

Can't. When the human body engages in physical activities such as running, the cardiovascular function is strengthened to adapt to the needs of the body's functions; during exercise, the skeletal muscles contract rhythmically, exerting a squeezing effect on the blood vessels and promoting venous blood return.

When the human body suddenly stops running, the veins lose the rhythmic contraction of the skeletal muscles, which will lead to a decrease in the amount of blood returning to the heart, causing symptoms such as dizziness and black spots in front of the eyes. In severe cases, it may cause symptoms such as shock. Therefore, you cannot sit down and rest immediately after running.

How long after running can you sit down?

The specific time should depend on the running time and intensity. If you run for 40 minutes, it is best not to sit down within 15 minutes. If you run for 60 minutes, it is best not to sit down within 25 minutes. After running, you should transition from fast walking to slow walking. This way, your body can calm down well.

After running, you can do some lower limb exercises in the form of relaxing running, relaxing walking or stretching to promote the return of venous blood in the lower limbs and prevent excessive decrease in cardiac output after running exercise. In this way, you can not only avoid the occurrence of symptoms such as dizziness, but also improve blood circulation, eliminate fatigue as soon as possible and improve exercise effects.

The amount of stretching exercises should not be too much. When doing stretching exercises after running, you should feel relaxed and happy. If your running activity is not large and the time does not exceed 15 minutes, there is no need to do cool-down activities.
