[Performance] Caution is advised for tomorrow night. [October 9th]
Hello.
Today, I will continue to talk about how the weather affects performance.
It is said that temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure affect the human body, either increasing or decreasing performance.
Let's take proper precautions so we can face our work and sports in top condition tomorrow.
Now, regarding the weather in the Kanto region on October 9th. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency's forecast, the temperature will be around 22°C and the humidity will be around 60%.
While the temperature is comfortable, the humidity is somewhat high. Even if the temperature is low, it is easy to sweat and become dehydrated, so in addition to frequent hydration, be mindful of replenishing minerals and salt. For more details, please also refer to the article from [October 8th].
And, the point of caution for tomorrow is "atmospheric pressure."
Currently, a typhoon is located southeast of Kanto and is expected to approach while maintaining its strength. A typhoon is, in a broad sense, a "strong low-pressure system," and because the pressure gradient is large, there is a possibility of a rapid drop in atmospheric pressure as it approaches.
This sudden change in pressure can cause headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Caution is especially needed from the afternoon onwards.
For those of you who have an important event tomorrow, I will introduce a few countermeasures.
◆ Countermeasures for pressure changes
Preventing headaches actually starts the night before.
Since headaches are related to the autonomic nervous system, it is important to warm your body thoroughly in the bath to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Also, stiffness in the muscles of the head, face, and neck can also cause headaches. Gently massaging your temples, above your eyebrows, and above your ears to loosen the muscles will make your head and the area around your eyes feel lighter and provide a relaxing effect.
If you get a headache, please try this.
To everyone who has to do their best tomorrow,
let's get in good physical condition and make it a great day!
