What VFA Can Do For Your Industry
Sports is proven to have a positive effect on our health and immune system. However, it is not recommended to engage in aerobic activity nearby sources of air pollution. Both indoor air as well outdoor air in urban areas often contain unhealthy concentrations of traffic and industry related air pollution. Indoor sources can vary as sport activities increase the metabolism and breathing, which results in the increase of aerosols emissions. In poorly ventilated sport facilities, the increase of aerosol concentration can result in substantial increase in risk of infections (e.g. SARS-Cov-2), reduced performance, discomfort and unpleasant of sweat smells.
Therefore, it is essential to prevent people from being exposed to air pollution during exercise.
Working out in an environment with a high pollution rate is not advisable, because a larger fraction of the inhaled air enters through the mouth when working out. As a result, the filtration mechanisms in the nose are not used and air pollution goes directly to your lungs. Secondly, the increased speed of breathing causes pollutants to reach deeper into the lungs.
In addition to removing indoor air pollutants, other aspects of IAQ should be paid attention to as well. Have you ever exercised when it was too hot? Or when the air was too stale or dry? If you have ever experienced this, you will know that these problems have a negative impact on physical and even mental performance.
Especially people with asthma or another chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes will benefit from clean and healthy air during sportive activity. We believe that every sports centre should provide its clients with healthy indoor air quality for optimal performance. Add that extra distinctive element to your sports and health centre and see the benefits for yourself.
