2016 is an Olympic year with this years games are being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Every year that see the Olympics take place also sees a phenomenon that is known as the “Olympic Effect” with the events taking place in Rio inspiring thousands of people to emulate their countrymen and take up some form of exercise. For many this can be a short lived experience and statistically the effect of exercising on the general population over the longer period does not alter substantially. But, for a short period before, during and after a summer Olympics there is a definite surge in activity from populations around the globe to get out there and do a little extra exercise.
Reflective safety vest manufacturer GlowGuard today issued some pre-emptive advice to new runners, joggers, cyclists and walkers asking them to be careful and put safety first before embarking on a new exercise regime. They highlighted the need for people who have been inactive for a long period of time to consult a medical practitioner before starting out on any strenuous exercise regime. They also stressed the need for all beginners to assess the risks of where they exercise and take the necessary precautions when it comes to exercising in proximity to vehicles whether it is road running, jogging, cycling or just walking the neighbourhood with the family dog.
A spokesperson for GlowGuard explained further, “Olympic year is always an exciting time. Traditionally we see a lot of beginners getting inspired by their heroes on the track and in the Velodrome and a lot of people want to get out there and start running or cycling. Of course when you are starting an exercise regime you need to do a little planning and we just wanted to get the message out there that a safety first approach to any form of exercise is a sensible way to start. Safety in the form of medical advice and also safety in the form of being safe when you are actually exercising.”
She continued, “As a manufacturer of safety wear, we are of course too aware of the risks that can cause accidents for people who are just out trying to get some exercise. The #1 risk after medical injury is visibility. Most forms of exercise outside of the home takes place in close proximity to vehicles and visibility is by far the biggest cause of accidents. So our message is simple:
Be medically informed, be highly visible and lastly, ENJOY!“
