After Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat’s disqualification from the Olympics, a photo is going viral. In this photo, Vinesh is seen sitting alone in the ground disappointed and wearing a track suit. Many newspapers have also given this photo space on the first page and this photo is also being shared a lot on social media. But, do you know that the suit that Vinesh is wearing is not a common track suit and it has a very important connection with weight. So let us tell you the story of this suit…
Let us tell you that a day before being disqualified, when Vinesh Phogat had a bout, her weight was under 50 kg that morning. But, after playing many bouts throughout the day, her weight had increased to more than 52 kg at night. This was quite high according to her category. To bring this weight under 50 kg, Vinesh Phogat made a lot of efforts and worked out all night, but the weight remained 100 grams more. Because of this, she was not allowed to play.
To lose weight overnight, she did not drink water at all, did workouts, cycled and tried to lose weight. This suit played an important role in her weight loss efforts, due to which Vinesh lost weight.
Which suit is this?
If we talk about this suit, then this suit is called a sauna suit, which reduces water retention from the body. Actually, it is a track suit made of plastic or rubber, which generates heat in the body and the heat cannot escape. Generally, it is made of neoprene, PVC, or nylon etc.
Wearing this suit and sleeping or taking a bath etc. causes water to come out of the body very quickly. That is, a lot of sweat comes out and frequent visits to the toilet reduce the amount of water in the body. This reduces water retention in the body and the water weight reduces considerably.
It is like a raincoat, which closes tightly near the neck and wrists so that no air enters inside it. Apart from this, it is packed from the bottom of its trousers, due to which no air enters and the heat causes intense heat, and then sweating occurs. This reduces weight considerably.
Let us tell you that whenever an athlete has to lose weight in a short time, he uses it. Wearing it while working out or taking a sauna bath makes the body sweat and reduces water retention in the body and reduces weight significantly. However, many experts also point out its disadvantages and its use for a long time is prohibited. Its excessive use can also cause dehydration in the body.
