    Default Why are you more prone to injury in cold weather?

    Whenever it's cold, it hurts a lot more to bump my arm against something than it would if it were like it is now.

    Especially when hitting the heavybag. It's like my knuckles are much more brittal can cannot take the beating they'd normally take. During the winter, I have to leave my bag gloves inside the house so my hands won't get cold.

    From chemistry... reactions slow as the temperature declines. The increased injury could be caused by your bodies inability to solve the problem quickly, as the required process can not take place in the same time span. In your hands case you may not be able to clench your fist at the right time due to the cold, therefore your actually punching incorrectly, which is causing the pain.

    Although I do notice when I played footy for school in the cold and you smothered a kick it will sting incredibly badly, so yeah not quite too sure.

    Muscles are stiffer or tensed,
    less blood circulation,
    synovial fluid in joints is less lubricant.

    I've also noticed if you jump from a high distance, when you hit the ground, your feet and calves hurt worse in the cold.

    It takes longer to warm up most people cant be arsed. Your Metobalisom is Higher, you use more fuel energy and liqiud in the cold. The optimum temperature for the body to work is 54 degrees F. Hope this Helps . I look at people trying to loose weight in gyms it makes me cringe with more plastic on trying to train and lose weight, never in a million years dehydrated the body doest work as it should, I think common sense and watch sense isnt common.
    Pain lasts a only a minute, but the memory will last forever....

    It seems like on those 60. F days it's much easier to train. That's why the fall and early spring are my favorite seasons.
