If you’re an athlete that participates in outdoor track events or marathons and live in a cold climate zones such as the North
east, you already know that the spring and fall weather systems can present challenges. Selected to help wick away sweat and prevent the athlete from heat stress with minimal wind resistance, the most basic track outfit includes lightweight shorts and a sleeveless jersey.
Cold temperatures, rain and even snow is a reality that makes competitions difficult to perform. Unfortunately, the uniforms these athletes wear do not offer any type of protection from the elements and for multiple event athletes, waiting around for their next event can cause fatigue and muscles to tighten.
COLD CONDITIONS & PERFORMANCE
Research has shown that a cold environment significantly decreases the strength of a runner’s muscles — the colder it gets the less power the muscles produce. Muscle contractions are also less efficient in the cold, which will lower the amount of force the muscles produce even further. In addition, cold weather has also been shown to affect the cardiovascular system. Lastly, cold weather can affect running performance because it alters the way the body metabolizes fuel. When an athlete runs in the cold, the body will use up its glycogen stores at a much higher rate.
