Heavy heat outbreak at the Olympics, Tokyo begins preparing
for cooling
French researchers found in their study that the ideal
temperature for male and female athletes is different for the marathon race.
For females, 49.82 fahrenheit (9.9 celsius) and for males 42.8 fahrenheit (6
celsius) temperature is best to complete a long race.
Summer is not only fought in India, but many countries of
the world are very worried about it. Many cities of Europe are now boiling,
including France's capital Paris, and the temperature is going up to 40. The
same is the case with Japan's capital Tokyo, where next year's Games will be
held for the Mahakumbh Olympics.
The next year i.e. the Olympic Games (July 24 to August 9)
will be held in Tokyo in the next year, but according to the estimation of the
summer in July this year, it is believed that the next year, this month is not
only a matter of summer, Rather the guests will cry too much It is impossible
to predict about one year ahead of the season, but the kind of trend that has
been in the last few years, it seems that it is going to be very hot in July
next year.
Violent making in Japan last year
In July last year (2018), summer showed its radar in Japan
and it was termed the most dangerous (in terms of death) month in recent years.
In July last year more than 300 people died due to heat and weather related
reasons. Then the temperature increased by more than 40 degrees Celsius.
More than 54 thousand people were admitted to the hospital last
year due to rising heat and heat, in which 4430 people were included in the
capital alone.
Athlete will be more upset
Summer is increasing in Japan. In the 1980s, there was a
temperature of 28-29 degrees Celsius, which has now crossed 30 degree Celsius
and may increase further in the next year.
It is extremely difficult for athletes to run on the track
in heat and enlarged temperatures, especially for long distance races like
Marathon or Trathlon. Apart from this, sports like rail walking and selling can
also upset the athletes in summer.
Marathon match in July no April
In view of the potential heat during the event, the health
officials have also proposed to the organizers that field bouts like Marathon
should be done in April rather than in July-August and that too close to 6 am
in the morning. Also, 50 kms of men's race is going to start at 5:30 in the
morning.
Health officials fear that the running of athletes in summer
can affect their health. If they had to run in July-August then the performance
would have an impact. In the next Olympics, on 2nd August (female) and 9th
August (male) compared to marathon. In summer, the players will have difficulty
in achieving a clear result.
9 years study on marathon
French researchers found in their study that the ideal
temperature for male and female athletes is different for the marathon race.
For females, 49.82 fahrenheit (9.9 celsius) and for males 42.8 fahrenheit (6
celsius) temperature is best to complete a long race. The study also showed
that due to the increase in temperature, where speed affects people, the rate
of dropout rate also increases.
Speed reduction in rising heat
It was also revealed in the study that the speed of women
athletes in the temperature of 29.44 degree Celsius decreased by 13.47 per cent
and the speed of male athletes by 6 per cent. Air temperature is also very
important in the marathon race, There is an impact on the stemina.
However, the Tokyo administration is also working
continuously in this direction. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is engaged in
efforts to reduce the effect of heat. It is making 136 kilometer special coating
road in the center of the city, which can reduce the temperature.
There is still a 1 year time remaining in the event, but 150
volunteers have been kept on the trial as the environment is kept cold. There
are arrangements for giving fans and towels to keep players well.
Organizing AC Tents and Fans
Apart from this, AC tents, fans and fountains are being
installed near the stadium or venue of the summer this summer, so that the
difference in temperature due to the arrival of the crowd during the game and
the crowd can be examined. In addition to temporary AC tents, fans, cold
showers for next year's games, arrangements are being made to provide free ice
cubes for open-air bouts.
After 1964, Tokyo is going to host the Olympic Games for the
first time. At present, due to the rain there is still some relaxation in
India, but many countries of the world are experiencing severe heat at this
time including Japan. Since the start of the Olympic Games, preparations have
already been started on summer for a summer. Organizers are trying to make this
event extremely spectacular and grand. Also, foreign guests and players did not
face any problem. Organizers are still trying to avoid every situation of
possible heat. Now we have to see what the temperature of Tokyo is next year
and how successful the organizers are in their motive. At the moment it is
certain that sports fans will have to be ready to face the heat.
