The reason why the athlete's foot is horribly deformed

Practicing sports is always a thing to do with ordinary people. But with a tremendous amount of exercise like athletes, their bodies have to trade a lot.

Recently, Pawel Poljanski - an athlete (athlete) - shared a photo of a horror on personal Instagram. It was a photo of his legs that were so distorted that he became deformed after finishing the 16th stage of the Tour de France - the most attractive bicycle race on the planet.

The feet of Pawel Poljanski racing athlete.

As can be seen in the picture, the Polish athlete's legs look very tight. They floated on the skin, looking like they wanted to burst.

But why does cycling make his legs become . like that?

According to Dr. Bradley Launikonis - medical expert from the University of Queensland Medical School (Australia), this phenomenon often appears in professional racing athletes. The cause stems from the huge amount of blood rushing to the feet during the training before the Tour de France begins.

When pedaling in a long race, a large amount of blood will flow to the leg and stay there, causing the blood vessels to swell . The problem is that the training intensity of the crabs is huge . As Launikonis judged, the amount of blood rushing to the feet of the racing athletes was twice as much as the fitness coaches.

The intensity of exercise of cyclists is huge.

"Usually when the exercise is complete, the vein starts to rise. High pressure blood flow can stay in the vein, creating a sinewy legs like you have seen," Launikonis said.

" The heavier the exercise, the longer the blood is saved. This phenomenon will not happen if you only exercise at a light level, but it is common for professional athletes".

As in the case of Poljanski, at the end of the 16th Tour de France, he crossed the 2,829km route in 68 hours. And that's not all, because the tournament has 5 more rounds to come back in Paris. So, his legs are so striking that distortion is understandable.

The heavier the workout, the longer the blood stays.

In the past, there were some athletes capturing their scrawny legs and posting them, like Bartosz Huzarski in 2014. However, at that time he seemed a bit unlucky, when many people thought that the couple That foot is a sign of doping use.

Of course, the truth is not like that, but Huzarski is still forced to speak out for himself.
