2 NOT so Healthy Aspects of Swimming
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2024
- Swimming has incredible health benefits except for two:
1- Building stronger bones and
2- Building strength in certain parts of the body.
According to Wolff’s Law, in the healthy population, bone usually responds to stress by increasing its mass and Bone Mineral Density.
In water and in space there isn’t a lot of stress to the bones. However, out of all the studies, none of them concluded that swimming negatively affected bone mass or mineral density when compared to the controlled groups.
So why do Doctors love recommending swimming to elderly people who usually have low bone density as well?

Solid video, but there are a lot of red flags for causation vs correlation.
Example: flat footedness. I’m not gonna question that swimming might cause that, but there’s a LOT of ppl who were flat footed before swimming, and are drawn to the sport bc it hurts less than running sports. Same is with bone density. Yes, swimming might not be great for that, but a lot of ppl choose swimming bc they can float well - which is in part due to bone density. This is very commonly known among competitive swimmers
True. Thanks for the thoughtful comment
@@SkillsNT Thanks for the advice! But one thing I'm really curious about is, does swimming breaststroke can cause knocked knees?
That’s true! I have a flat foot and a chronic inflammation up to my knee one the same side. Swimming is the only sport where I can get my heartbeat up without putting further strain and pain on these areas. The water resistant actually helps stretching the area (where Front foot goes becomes leg, I don’t know what it’s called lol) which is usually something I need to do manually exercises for, but not when swimming.
I was born with a flat foot 😐
@linneajasmine I'm exactly the same have been swimming since I was 5
the only downside for swimming for me is I easily have dry skin and hair, and back acne but other than that it keeps me fit so
Damn, now I know im not the only swimmer who has all those things😅
Isnt there some solutions on the market?
Damnn no wonder I started having back acne then. I only started having back acne after spending 4 to 5 days swimming per week while training for my university competitions. And I still have it now.. it won't go away
Back acne ?? What kind of filthy pool are u in
@@aprilpkneoh honestly it’s really annoying mine won’t go away as well
What I understood: swimming doesn't have bad effects and it's the healthiest thing on earth
Wouldn't say its the "healthiest" thing, but it is healthy.

One should always do a variety of sports and exercises to stimulate all the bones and muscles. I'm 70, I swim twice a week, walk with weights twice a week and cycle twice a week.
I like the honesty of this video. It teaches us what we should watch out for, because they care. It's a good idea to do multiple sports in order to avoid overusing the same muscles. Even within swimming, to do multiple strokes instead of just freestyle.
Like my doctor told me after I started swimming... "meh... you'll just be coming in here with shoulder problems". Yup... truer words never spoken.
Let's watch him swim
@@BlackMan614 i am starting swimming in 23 will it be problem for me compared to people who started swimming at younger days
@@sastashroud7646 I learnt to swim when I was 54, swam for a year then stopped. Started swimming again at 62 in May of this year 2022. Love it and try to go a few days a week but I'm always knackered by the time I get home.
This time round the chlorine has given me a rash my around my neck, chest and under my breasts and i just started using sudocrem last weekend which is healing it a little but now the areas I've put the sudocrem on has become very dry. Read somewhere to use vaseline on these sensitive areas before going into the pool even asked the Chemist and he also mentioned the use of vaseline on these areas🇬🇧🇯🇲
@@BlackMan614 Swimming is nothing compared to soccer. I started swimming so I could keep fit while injured. I've gotten so many injuries playing soccer that I've become a decent swimmer. Been at it 20 years and can't recall a proper injury. It's been a god send.
Fantastic video - short and to the point. I'm a novice swimmer and had no idea of the imbalances that could be developed so innocuously
Very nice video.
I am making some To Do' put of this:
1) Bones: Go do some dryland calisthenics. Pushups, Pullups and Squats are all i need to get started. I'll incorporate some weight and resistance bands later.
2) Shoulders: Doing external shoulder strenthening is easy to do at home without equipment and everybody should be doing it anyways (no matter if they swim, play tennis or just work in an office). The channel FitnessFAQ has demonstrated how to do this: Its called the Y-W-A Workout (video: bulletproof shoulders). I am doing it every other day and my shoulders and scapula have become much stronger in external rotation.
3) Ankle: Tibilas Raises and Calf Raises while stretching my ankles.

For elderly, it is all about painful joints. Swimming tones muscles, increases breathing and does not pound joints.
Hit the weights, run and swim. It’s just that simple. For those that can’t do all three, try to get it as close to this plan as you can.
bodyweight exercises ftw
I already did prior to watching this vid. Bonus!
Any tips for gaining? Should I swing after or before workout?
Thank you so much. This helped a lot! I love your videos because I can always learn a lot from them. You have helped me to improve. Thank you!
I'm 74 and started to have trouble with my gluteus when biking too much for decades. I decided to go swimming. I jumped into butterflies for the first time in my life. I quickly understood that one has to be careful with his shoulders, especially in backstrokes. I now use my spine and hips to slide thru the water and push the water underneath with my arms. It works! My shoulders look strong and healthy, but I noticed several parts of my body didn't use their muscles. To compensate I weightlift and row. I used to dance a lot before Covid. Now I won't as I noticed it could hurt my feet.
LESSON: As one gets older, one has to listen to his skeleton, muscles, stomach, and intestines. I agree with this video which confirms my instinct about sports that I had practiced all my life. (I'm a former gymnast.)
Dude I fuckin love your videos they help me understand when I’m confused but also motivate me to get back in the water when my body is afraid. Also I lose my shit every time you say swim fast! Keep it up man, you’re the hero we need but not the one we deserve..
Hi. Thank you for your effort in everything you do. I think you are a skilled and professional swimmer. A fan from North Africa🙌🙏👉💪🏊🏅
My calves are massive from other pursuits, but have become sore with increased swimming. Now I know why. Thanks.
Very good points, well made
Your videos are truly inspiring and informative 👍 thank you for Answering queries we put up often🙏
I do some yoga streching asanas in morning and swim @nights .. is it right to do? Or I need to do gym equipment exercises?
Kids who swim for years, can swim for their lifetimes, but severely struggle doing any other sport or basic recreation. Focus on elite athletic performances is a myopic athlete development model.
Thank you for that rare video. Very useful.
Thanks for grat information
That s really cool and intersti g video ! Good job 👏🏻 thank you
Fantastic. Informative
Love this video, so insightful. Would you say pilates would help balance it out?
So paradoxically, swimmers with imperfect technique may end up building stronger bones because we encounter more resistance with, for example, our old-fashioned breaststroke kick? Maybe this is something to think about for those of us who aren't racing but just want to stay fit enjoyably.
There may be some truth to this, when I was a young boy and didn't know how to swim properly, I would spend all day in the river playing river tag with friends, and i swam like a dog, and I had like twice as much strength as most of my friends.
Even though you might encounter slighly more resistance, you are still in the water so this doesn't make a big difference compare to a sport with high impacts on the ground.
About the muscle strength i don't think that is plays a huge role as in both cases you are using all your strength to swim, wether your technique is good or bad.
Swimming mainly trains your triceps, lats and core.It's definetly a good idea to have a balanced lifting program on the side aswel.
Well I got a DEXA scan and my bone density T-score is 1.8. Don't think swimming will affect that so much
Great video. Just what I needed to know.
As a Masters swimmer, I am concerned about what I'm missing out on with swimming.
Excellent info here.
" in water no one can hear you scream"....true dat
That was interesting but a lot to take in. Another video of the complementary exercises, please.
Hey, Skills n Talents, for now, i do swim in outdoor swimming pool. Is it bad for me to do swim during monsoon season or, i should look for indoor swimming by then?
Swimmer's ear had entered the chat...
Do a variety of things. For example, I swim, weights and run
Ditto
What a high quality video! Thank you very much!!
And loved the serious talk + dancing astronaut hahaha
I don’t think this is a disadvantage of swimming, no form of exercise helps with everything.
That’s why unless you compete in a sport (and in most cases even then, just to a lesser extent) varying your training is the best option for overall fitness and health.
Thanks for interesting facts. If I remember correctly, swimming is also a diuretic activity.
Thought you would say the chlorine in the water.
I love Michael Phelps ❤
Great video. Can you do a video about breathing techniques during flip turns?
it's depends on what activity you are doing,after swimming
Oh shit…
Makes sense: underdeveloped tibialis anterior - I have a collapsed arch. I moved from competitive swimming to long distance running and have been suffering shin splints for a very long time.
This seems like a completely logical explanation.
Nice video
Spot on. Resistance training and swimming combined is ideal.
but the weights before, after swimming no power is left
@@rainerwahnsinn9585 ya true. I separate them by days usually. Swimming as an active recovery is great. Cheers.
Great
Is it possible that the brain assumes that when in space and in water the body weight is lower thus bone density can be lower to adjust to new environment, sparing minerals for other vital organs?
많은힐링하고 갑니다^-^
The backpack you show is for landing on the moon. Ed White had no backpack.
For competitive swimming there is also the problem with the shoulders!
ah yes my strained shoulders
I do some light hand weights before pool time. I will add yoga and some body weight exercise (like bear and monkey crawl) back to daily routine soon.
Does chlorine damage eyes?
Strong calf muscles cannot cause flat feet in swimmers.❌ When swimming freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, our toes are always pulled back, which is the reason why swimmers have a high lift of the foot. High instep is also a problem (that's why we strengthen the dorsiflexions), but this is the opposite of flatfoot, not flatfoot itself.
I've seen a study that professional swimmers have more spine herniations. So many rotations isn't good for spine.
Wow
chlorine is bad for us too
Weights + Swimming best combination
Ouch, I do swim and cycle. But I do weights too.
Ok sitting on my ass all day watching RUclips and Netflix will do wonders for my health.
After 40 minutes I always … ALWAYS have cramps in the bottom of my foot and i have to stop my training. Any advice? thank you very much …
Stretch before and after swimming😀
Or maybe you're doing the wrong technique 😃
Or maybe you have a small injury😃
Advice: stretch before and after swimming and try to swim with the right technique
You can also get stretch equipment
I hope this helps
Give yourself a foot massage after your warm up. About 30s each foot.
breaststroke leg movement is not good for the outer part of each knee joint.
Do you think it Is ok for a senior who swims freestyle for 45 minutes three times a week and does yoga every day to have sore muscles when out of water?
I don't know but you can use stretch roll
@@frickadelkakuragril9780 Thanks. I'll have a go with it.

Swimming is very good for shoulders and legs
me who does cycling and running..
Do multiple sports...
@Shadowknight 9.0 yes, like triathlon
@@adeaxel3125 correct... we've gotta have an open mind...
Screwed up chlorinated hair, messed up shoulders and messed up knees.
Why there is not spanish subtitles?
Because English is awesome.
There's a spanish version
The only disadvantage to swimming is drowning
Also swimming in other ppls pee and chloride is not that great.
The spacewalk was claymation.
hi
My combination in my "sporty" days was swimming (3km 3 times a week) and Squash. I guess I had it covered :)
More seriously - you always have to compare to the alternatives and their respective risks. For example many, who were running throughout their lives end up needing hip and knee prosthesis in their late 40s or early 50s. Even a slight imperfection in skeletal structure (e.g. 1 leg slightly shorter) will eventually lead to wear and tear with any high impact activities maintained over many years.
So, your conclusion of this video should not be to replace swimming with something even more detrimental. One good choice is to not overdo a single form of sports and instead switch it up and change sports every once in a while, if your goal is to improve and maintain your health.
Chlorine !
I have only disadvantage is grey hair due to swimming pool 😢 water
Bad aspects:
1-chocking every training session
2-getting murdered by the lane lines
Personally the disadvantages to being a swimmer is bad teeth (yes chlorine is really bad for your teeth), I’ve had a stye infection from gross pools and bad skin and hair.
Nonetheless the advantages are wayyyyyy bigger than the disadvantages
Mix it up…🤔…Swimming ✅ Treadmill incline running or fast walking ✅ Rowing machine over and under hand ✋ ✅ Cycling ✅ 🏴🤪
so... be a triathlete right? heh
Triathlon Started too late ⏰ for me…..it’s New 😂😂😂😂
Subtitle Indonesia please
Belajar inggris donk..
That being said, swimming is never not so healthy than being a couch potato. Swim on! 🏊
Just wanna ask iam 15 and swim freestyle 100m in sub 1min is it a goodtine
It's average
You're probably referring to people LIVING in the water. People swimming up to 10 hours or more a week couldn't have their body negatively affected this way!
I didn't say they did
space lol
Don't forget the eternal sinus problems, I can only swim 1-2 times per week, otherwise I get permanent sinus inflammation...
Chlorine smell all over my body if I don’t wash it thoroughly with body wash (I even scrub my body!)
I hate strong big calf muscles😭😭😭😭
#3 You're far more likely to drown while swimming than while doing crunches.
Depends if you're doing crunches in the pool 😁
I agree with all but low bone density due to swimming ?? Really ??
No, the video didn't say that. It just doesn't help increase it
One would only have a lower bone density if they stayed in the water 24/7
Very true!
swimming has a lot more negative things about it
There's no need to hurry, please slow down
soaking in chemical solution that is not natural, chlorine, is not healthy either. be sure to do the weights, hydration and sweating to cleans regularly.
You can most definitely get bigger. You just need to eat more.
Yeah you'll definitely get bigger that way 🤣

Can't agree... Sorry
Facts sorry
Toxic bull shit!
This video is pretty pointless, everything said is absolutely true but doesn't really present anything worthwhile. All sports lack the exercise of certain muscles and are prone to working certain muscles more. It's the same with any exercise, if the argument is you cannot only swim to gain muscle mass then yes, duh. You cant only do bicep curls to get huge...
You're asking me to believe that going swimming for 1 hour a day will make me lose bone mass similar to people in space right now.. sorry you're full of it. For any of that to ACTUALLY matter you'd have to basically slither around allday until you get into a pool. Sorry I just don't believe you.. I'm not saying this is wrong, just more theoretical... if you are someone losing bone mass from swimming then you literally do nothing when you get out of a pool, I mean damn you probably are just leaving in a wheel chair
I didn't say that 🤣
@@SkillsNT then I misunderstood
