A photo of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat is going viral after her disqualification from the Olympics. In this photo, it is seen that Vinesh is sitting alone in the ground disappointed and she is wearing a track suit. Many newspapers have also given this photo a place on the front page and this photo is also being shared a lot on social media. But, do you know that this suit that Vinesh is wearing is not a common track suit and it has a very important connection with weight. So let’s tell the story of this suit…
Let us tell you that a day before her disqualification, when Vinesh Phogat had a bout, her weight in the morning was just under 50 kg. But, after playing many bouts throughout the day, his weight had increased to more than 52 kg at night. This was quite high for his category. To bring this weight within 50 kg, Vinesh Phogat made a lot of efforts and worked out throughout the night, but the weight remained 100 grams more. Because of this he was not allowed to play.
To lose weight overnight, he did not drink any water, worked out, did cycling and tried to lose weight. This suit played an important role in her efforts to lose weight, due to which Vinesh lost weight.
Which suit is this?
If we talk about this suit, then this suit is called sauna suit, by wearing which water retention in the body is reduced. Actually, it is a track suit made of plastic or rubber, which produces heat in the body and the heat is not able to come out. Generally it is made of neoprene, PVC, or nylon etc.
By wearing this suit, taking gold bath etc., water comes out from the body very fast. That is, there is a lot of sweating and frequent toilet visits reduce the amount of water in the body. This reduces water retention in the body and water weight reduces significantly.
It is like a raincoat, which is tightly closed near the neck and wrist so that air does not get inside it. Apart from this, it is packed from below in its trousers, due to which air does not pass and due to the heat one feels very hot and then one sweats. This reduces the weight considerably.
Let us tell you that whenever athletes have to lose weight in a short time, athletes use it. By wearing it while working out or taking sauna bath, the body sweats and water retention in the body is reduced and weight is reduced significantly. However, many experts also point out its many disadvantages and its use for a long time is prohibited. Its excessive use can also lead to water deficiency in the body.
