The question that I will be conducting research on is “What are the different headaches people in my community suffer from when working out?”
As we know many people around us have a lifestyle of working out. Whether it’s just a quick 30 minute workout or 5 hours spent, people often suffer from headaches either way. A lot of people know the term used “Powerlifters”, these are the folks who typically spend a few hours than most in the gym lifting extreme levels of weights. These people tend to experience more often the “Exertion Headache”. This headache is most common to those who lift heavy weights making pressure stimulate the two sides of the temple near the forehead causing the vessels to sometimes burst causing the horrific headache. Prolonging along with the newest popular workout called “Cross-fit”. This is known as a high intensity workout that more than likely develops headaches for people who enjoy doing this workout. Another common headache from working out is the dehydration factor. When your body doesn’t have enough fluids to start out with, then sweating the fluids out in your body that are already are not there can cause this headache in ones. More fluids are being drained out of the body rather than the fluid supposed to be taken in. If not enough fluids are being taken in, the risk of course becomes higher than normal for dehydration.
Some research that I will be conducting will be creating polls for some of the local gym rats I know that have different workout routines. I will be asking them what workouts they do, and how much water intake they receive. The heart rate average at the end of their workouts, and how each component asked affects them and the different headache outcomes each explains.
