How do female swimmers train during the physiological period?

? In order to prevent the physiological cycle from affecting the competition, many female athletes will choose to take some birth control pills before the competition to change the arrival time of the physiological cycle. But as we all know, this method is harmful to the body, which will cause disorder of physiological cycle and even lead to infertility. But this way is not a big deal for female athletes, and winning the game is the most important thing for them.

Compared with male athletes, female athletes may have to work harder and have greater difficulty. No matter in the training process or in the competition process, I believe that female athletes will encounter a difficult problem from time to time.

This is not a joke, it is a problem that female athletes will encounter in these years. Female friends know that you can't do strenuous exercise when your period comes, but it's not realistic for female athletes. They may have been training for years just to win the next game. It is not impossible to give up. In order to solve the problem, these athletes have tried their best.

Fu, a female swimmer from China, was well known to the public at the 20 16 Rio Olympic Games. That was after the 4× 100 meter medley relay final. She sat on the ground and said that she was very tired. When the reporter asked, she truthfully said that she was in the physiological cycle.

Even for ordinary women, it is not a comfortable thing to have a period, and walking will be awkward, not to mention athletes have to do strenuous exercise. Sometimes I think how terrible it would be if swimmers, divers and gymnasts menstruate during the competition!

Almost every female athlete will encounter this problem and must face it. When the physiological cycle comes, female athletes are not only emotionally fluctuating, but also easily excited and irritable, as Lang said in his autobiography. In addition, there will be abdominal pain, chills, vomiting and other adverse reactions. In severe cases, you can only lie in bed like you are sick. If the exercise is not very intense, it can still be tolerated. But if you go to volleyball, football, gymnastics and swimming, it will make female athletes worry.

There is also taking painkillers, but now some painkillers contain stimulants. If they are taken away, they will be found before the game. So if there is a physiological period during the competition, athletes can only grit their teeth and stick to it. For example, at the 20 13 World Swimming Championships, Zhao Jing gnashed her teeth during her physiological period and won the championship. Maybe Zhao Jing fainted on the ground after the game, or the coach helped her out. It really hurts!

It seems that female athletes are likely to persist in the competition in order to compete on the field and win glory for their country. It is really touching and admirable.
