Medical Certificate for Transmission Avoidance
The skin, nose, ears, throat are pathways for the transfer of diseases to our body from the pool.
Precisely for this reason, it is necessary to obtain a medical certificate from a dermatologist, in order to examine the patient and verify his health in order to avoid any transmission of skin diseases. Regarding the skin, common diseases that can be transmitted in the pool are:
- The anthills. These are painless skin growths, which usually appear on the hands and feet, but also on other parts of the body, and are caused by a type of virus of the human papilloma virus (HPV) family.
- Fungal infections. Fungus love warm and moist environments, such as those found in swimming pools. They usually appear in the area between the toes.
In any case, swimming is one of the most popular and the best form of exercise for adults and children. It builds strength, endurance, tones muscles and exercises the heart without tiring the joints.
It is typical that in one hour of swimming we burn approximately as many calories as we would burn in one hour of running, without all the effects on bones and joints.
In the United States swimming is the 4th most popular sport, not by chance since it works out the whole body.
Decide to follow this excellent form of sport and do not neglect the medical certificate!
