(Baonghean.vn) - Nicotine in cigarettes makes people feel alert and focused. That is why, after each tiring training session or competition, many smokers often have the habit of breathing and smoking at the same time.

Smoking is harmful to everyone, including athletes. Health experts warn that using stimulants while exercising will affect the health of athletes. According to the latest research, cigarettes contain more than 4,000 different chemicals, which react with your body in many ways. The most harmful are nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar.

Smoking after a strenuous workout has a huge impact on the athlete's heart. Like the muscles and all other organs in the body, the heart needs oxygen to function. However, cigarette smoke depletes the body's oxygen supply. Instead, it produces extremely toxic carbon dioxide. As a result, the heart is forced to pump harder than usual to provide the body with essential oxygen. Not only that, the nicotine in cigarettes also acts as a stimulant, causing the heart to beat beyond its normal rate during the athlete's training or competition.

After training, athletes need a lot of oxygen and fresh air. But cigarette smoke narrows the airways in the lungs, leading to difficulty breathing. According to research by the University of Rochester School of Medicine, smoking after training and competition also puts people at risk of chronic swelling of the mucous membranes, limiting breathing. Tar - a toxic substance found in cigarette smoke - also reduces lung elasticity, hindering the ability to supply oxygen and the function of detoxifying the lungs.

Smoking after exercise increases the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood. This substance can have serious effects on brain function, leading to memory loss, reduced visual performance, disruption of motor skills, and even impaired cognition.

After exercising, people naturally fall into a state of fatigue because they lose a lot of energy. And smokers will take longer to recover than those who exercise scientifically, because cigarette smoke significantly reduces the amount of oxygen supplied to the heart and other organs in the body. Nicotine in cigarettes also stimulates lipoprotein-lipase fermentation, causing the body to increase the process of lipid breakdown, reduce the process of fat synthesis or inhibit insulin, making the practitioner lose appetite and have difficulty absorbing necessary nutrients./.
