While exercise is crucial for quality of life, when performed in inauspicious conditions it can have unpleasant side effects. Headaches are not so uncommon to some fitness enthusiasts. It does not matter whether you are in impeccable shape or just starting out, the results of not calculating the physiological and environmental factors on any particular given day can leave the most muscle-toned body wishing for quick pain relief.
In general, there are three types of headaches that can be associated with exercise - the migraine, the exertional vascular headache and tension-type headaches. The migraine being the most notorious of the group is usually triggered by factors such as skipping meals, poor sleep, foods or food additives and even Mother Nature's daily choice of the weather. Mix this formula with a sudden bout of intense exercise and those with a propensity for migraines will be heading for the darkest cave.
Exertional vascular headaches may have
similar effects of a migraine but happen most always when the person exercises. In the event of a frequency of these headaches, it is advised to seek medical advice in case there is a more serious underlying cause. However, with a clean bill of health, the doctor may decide to prescribe some form of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication.
Finally, the tension-type headache has got to be the staple of moms everywhere. Only topped by the seasonal sinus headaches of those is lushly green and floral areas, the tension-type headache is the most common occurring in 90% of the population. Stress combined with an incorrect progression of exercise is known to cause this particular headache.
In most situations following a set of precautionary guidelines will not only stave off potential headaches but will also lower the risk of overall injury. Begin with an adequate warm-up, slowly warming the muscles and preparing the cardiovascular system for activity. Then, let the session sufficiently progress from a lower intensity initial phase on toward the higher levels. Before exercising, be aware of environmental factors such as pollution (i.e., exhaust from passing cars, secondhand smoking, etc.) and temperature (i.e., hydrate, wear layered clothing, etc.) if exercising outdoors.
A tactical approach is needed to execute a safe and effective workout plan. It will not only keep the pain away, it will insure that you complete a session of one of the most crucial elements for superior health.
