If you've ever looked out the window on a cold, wet day and wondered, "should I skip my morning run?" scientists have an answer. Go. You'll probably work harder and burn more calories while you're at it.<\/p>\n
A study <\/a>by Japanese researchers published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em> took seven guys and put them in climatic chambers that replicate weather conditions.<\/p>\n Researchers had them run in cold, rain-like weather conditions versus no rain for 30 minutes, measuring breathing, skin temperature, oxygen consumption, muscle exertion and stress levels.<\/p>\n No surprise, the guys worked harder and got colder in the rain conditions, but they may also have burned off a little more energy and felt cleaner.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, there are lots of studies<\/a> on the effects of weather conditions on a workout. Many involve dousing study subjects with cold water or making them slog along a treadmill in freezing temperatures.<\/p>\n Some suggest athletic performance might be compromised, but that downside is made up for in increased fat-burning<\/a>.<\/p>\n But the bottom line is there aren't any real downsides to exercising outside, no matter how chilly it is.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/p>\n iStockphoto If you've ever looked out the window on a cold, wet day and wondered, "should I skip my morning run?" scientists have an answer.
