Nowadays gym and fitness are not limited to physical workouts, but they have become part of fashion and style. Women not only consider tight-fitting workouts, such as leggings, tight tops and sports bras, not only convenient but it has now become a trend. But there are some hidden health risks behind this fashion, which need to pay attention to.
Let’s know the potential health disadvantages caused by wearing tight workout clothes.
Skin infection and fungal infection
Tight clothes keep it on the skin for a long time instead of absorbing sweat. This can cause bacteria and fungus to flourish, especially in thighs, armpits and underbast areas. This can cause rashes, itching, and skin irritation.
Blood circulation obstruction
Very tight fabrics can affect blood flow in parts of the body. This can cause problems like tingling, wasol or fatigue.
Breathing issue
Extreme tight sports bras can affect the speed of the lungs. There may be difficulty in taking deep breathing or tightness in the chest.
UTI (urinary tract infection)
Wearing tight and synthetic material for a long time keeps the heat and moisture in the urine area, which increases the chances of becoming UTI.
Impact on posture and movement
Wrapping the body in excessive “tight” clothing can affect the natural movement, which causes muscle stretch or injury.
Choose Betheable and Moisture-Wicking Fabric
Clothes like cotton-balance, dry-fit or spandex that absorb sweat and allow the air to pass.
Wear a little loose but fitted outfits
The outfit is so loose that there is no problem in the movement, and not so tight that the skin cannot take “breath”.
Change clothes immediately after workout
Do not wear sweaty clothes for long. This reduces the risk of infection.
Focus on the right size and support when choosing a sports bra
Choose a bra with light support for low-intensity workouts, and better support for high intensity workouts.
