Sport for us – How can the cold and sport go hand in hand?

There is no contraindication to sports practice in temperatures close to zero degrees. Winter and its frosts are in no way incompatible with exercise. Explanations.

Brrrr. The weather is gray, the blanket of low and thick fog. The light is scarce, night falls quickly. Sometimes the wind gets involved. In this autumnal and anything but idyllic setting, some persist in playing sports. Whether it's cold, wet or windy. And that's good!

“The cold doesn't stop anyone. It is rather morale that could prevent someone from going out to play sports, not the weather, ”assures Raymond Corbaz, founder, in 1969, of the Footing-club Lausanne. "There is no contraindication to sports practice in the cold," agrees ^Dr. Mathieu Saubade, sports doctor at the CHUV. “To prevent any risk, the priority must be to ensure that you are in good health. A check-up is the starting point.”
