Sun protection: A key element of any sporting activity

There is no outdoor play without protection

Summer is the time when many of us want to spend as much time as possible outside and engage in various sports activities. Whether you're running, hiking or doing water sports, sun protection is key to maintaining healthy skin. The sun's rays can be relentless and without adequate protection we risk serious consequences for our health.

The UV radiation emitted by the sun can cause severe skin damage such as sunburn, premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. Sunburns are more common in those who engage in outdoor sports, as they are exposed to the sun for a long time​​. Sunburns not only affect the skin, but can also impair physical performance, as they disrupt the body's thermoregulation, which can lead to heat exhaustion or even a stroke.

UV protection in the mountains and on the water

While most people are aware of the need to protect themselves from the sun on the beach, we often forget the need for protection in the mountains or on other sports fields as well. Snow and water reflect UV rays, which increases their strength and the possibility of burns. That is why it is important to use protective equipment even when walking in the hills or skiing.

How to properly protect yourself?

The most important measures to protect against the sun are the correct use of sunscreen and wearing protective clothing. Sunscreen with a high protection factor (SPF 30 or more) should be applied to all exposed areas of the skin and renewed at least every two hours or after intense sweating and swimming.
