Trekking is a South African word of origin that means following a trail or the so-called pedestrian path and doing it on foot. It was popular worldwide, also conquering the heart of Brazilians. This practice, aimed at external environments in which nature is predominant, involves long-distance walks and require the practicing physical effort and overcoming. The trekking therefore differs from the practice of hiking, a term in English that designates the practice of light and short-lived walks. The trekking, as well as the hiking, offers ample physical and mental benefits, contributing to a healthier life and a more tranquil mind. Check out some of the main benefits of trekking:- Like all long-lasting physical activity, trekking stimulates the production of endorphin, a chemical known for generating well-being in the human body. This substance acts, in the long run, on the improvement of the immune system, memory and mood, as well as providing other advantages for the health of the athlete. However, in order to obtain these benefits, you need to perform trekking with a certain regularity and take some important care in order to exercise physical activity correctly and safely.- The trekking is usually carried out in areas of little human intervention, whose paths challenge the body to overcome its physical and mental challenges. In this way, the exercise requires the practitioner greater effort, if we compare the practice with a walk in the city, on cemented and flat terrain, for example. Thus, trekking extends the cardiovascular and respiratory resistance of the practitioner, in addition to strengthening his bones, muscles and tendons, mainly of the lower limbs (petallic waist, thighs, legs and feet).
