> Why do swimmers wear down jackets at the Olympics?
游泳运动员在夏天比赛为何要穿羽绒服?
The Chinese swimming team has won a total of 12 medals in Paris including 2 golds, 3 silvers, and 7 bronzes. Chinese swimming prodigy Pan Zhanle made a splash at the Paris Olympics after snatching gold in the men's 100m freestyle and smashing his own world record. But eagle-eyed viewers noticed something peculiar: swimmers entered the venue sporting a down jacket.
中国游泳队以2金3银7铜的成绩,结束了巴黎奥运会的征程。其中,潘展乐勇夺男子100米自由泳金牌,并打破了自己保持的世界纪录,一鸣惊人。眼尖的观众发现了一件奇怪的事情:游泳运动员们都会穿着一件羽绒服进入会场。
Social media in China buzzed with curiosity, with posts on Weibo, one of the country's most popular platforms, exceeding 10 million views on the topic.
国内的社交媒体上掀起了好奇的热潮,微博上关于这一话题的帖子浏览量超过了1000万次。
Why do swimmers wear down jackets before competition? The main reason is to keep warm, as muscles can stiffen up in cold temperatures. In colder environments, the body initiates a series of reactions to keep the internal organs and brain warm.
游泳运动员赛前为什么要穿羽绒服?最主要的原因是为了保暖。因为温度低了肌肉会发僵。在较冷的环境里,身体会产生一系列反应来保证内脏、大脑这些关键器官的温度。
During this process, muscles contract uncontrollably to generate heat. Before we feel the tremors, muscle stiffness has already set in.
在此过程中,肌肉会不受控地收缩,以便产生热量。在我们能感受到颤抖之前,肌肉的僵硬已经发生了。
British news outlet The Independent cites a study in 2018 from the European Journal of Sport Science that found that “competitive swimmers who wore warm clothing prior to their race performed about 0.6 percent better than those who did not”.
英国《独立报》援引《欧洲体育科学杂志》早前的一项研究发现,“穿保暖外套的时候,比没有穿外套保暖时的成绩要快约0.6%。”
