when can we sweat again in the gym?

Do you miss that victorious sweat after an athletic effort in your fetish gym? Almost seven months that dumbbells and other weight training equipment are gathering dust. And that the sportsmen hold their breath during the various speeches of the government to know the famous date of reopening. On April 22, 2021, Jean Castex, Prime Minister expert in mystery calendars, announced at a press conference “a new reopening train around mid-May which could start with shops, certain cultural and sporting activities and terraces”. Yes, but here it is, no date concerning the sports halls has been given. However, it would seem that “mid-May and end of June “ be considered according to Thierry Doll, president of the active France federation, questioned by West France.

Until now, only a few athletes or people with pathologies can train thanks to a medical prescription prescribed by the attending physician. For others, it is outdoor sport within a radius of 30 kilometers and 10 kilometers if the sport is practiced in public space. And from May 3, 2021, following the lifting of the 10 km radius, outdoor sport will be possible everywhere without any distance limitation.

Reopening of sports halls … under conditions

If the reopening date has not yet been set and the “mid-May, end of June” range is only a hypothesis, we know on the other hand that the sports hall of yesteryear will not really be the same. Wearing a sports mask could become mandatory just like social distancing, not easy in this kind of situation, but necessary. “There is no risk of CO2 poisoning that we breathe out, sports doctor Marc Rozenblat told Doctissimo in September 2020. Wearing a mask creates a feeling of discomfort, but does not interfere with or block breathing. It’s just an impression, that of choking, of not breathing, but the respiratory exchanges are in no way disturbed. You just have to get used to wearing it and find a comfortable mask in which you feel good to practice sport “. While adding that “The mask protects the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose. As the Covid is spread by droplets, the priority is therefore to protect the mouth and nose. When we exercise, we sweat and we could therefore be a vector of ‘where the interest of wearing a mask “. Resuming an indoor activity, yes, but not without following some basic principles.
