So we will tell you about why the removal of unwanted hair is beneficial in sports, and what is the difference from hair removal for the purposes of beautiful appearance.
 As a rule, women want to get rid of unwanted hair. But lately, under the influence of fashion or due to problems of hair loss, the number of men who also remove unwanted hair has increased and therefore the trend has become common.
 Athletes regularly remove unwanted hair, knowing what is the merit of it.

Which kind of sportsmen have smooth skin?

Although it is believed that all sportsmen of any kind have smooth skin, this is not a true fact.

For example, Japanese martial arts, such as judo, karate and kendo, have nothing to do with hair care.

Also sports ball games, such as baseball, basketball and volleyball, are unlikely to be associated with hair removal.

So in which sports is care in the area of unwanted hair an integral part?

· Swimming

· Road bikes

· Cycling race

· Figure skating

· Football

And other well known.

Despite the fact that some football players usually do not attach importance to unwanted hair, it is well known that there are many players who care about excess body hair.

Initially, the fashion for smooth legs went from South American and European players, who preferred smooth skin to excess body hair and treated it as etiquette.

Since this is a sport in which the legs play the main role, athletes remove unwanted hair, because sometimes it is an obstacle to high-quality taping.

In addition to such reasons as appearance and etiquette, when treating unwanted hair, it is important to protect the skin from hair rubbing due to specialized clothing during competitions, and so as not to cause a drop in performance due to discomfort.

Sports competitions such as cycling race and road bikes

· Cycling race

· Road bikes

· Triathlon

Also, many athletes participating in cycling competitions are engaged in  hair care.

There are various reasons for it. 

<To reduce air resistance>

Becoming a top class player, you will understand the price even for a few seconds. For minimal air resistance, we will deal with unwanted hair on the legs.

Men has thickness of the hairs is larger than  women has, so for sure the difference in speed will be very clearly visible, as smooth skin becomes more enveloped.

<To accelerate healing of injuries>

Cycling competition is a fiercer competition than people usually think.

It is likely that people who do not have unwanted hair are easier to treat when they are injured as a result of a fall. Accordingly, you can also get faster healing of any injuries, having a smooth skin.

< It easier to do the massage on smooth skin>

Body care is also important for athletes, but oil massage, for example, is much easier if there are not any unwanted hair on the skin.

Cyclists and other athletes, who often receive foot massage, easier to keep care, if the skin does not have unwanted hair.

<To prevent painful friction from the saddle>

Depending on the type of sport, not only the leg area, but also the crotch area may be rubbed by the sportsmen.

The main reason for this is cycling for a long time, after which the crotch area is rubbed and pain occurs.

This may be due not only to time, but why waste it, if you can focus on yourself and spend time with comfort?

How swimmers getting rid from unwanted hair

<To remove water resistance>

Are not swimmers the most famous among all athletes who carefully take care of the skin of the body?

For swimmers, it is important to ensure that the swimsuit materials are worn easily and quickly. But the smoothness of the skin also reduces water resistance.

For the same reason as in hair care, water resistance and load increase in proportion to the amount of hair on the body, which is the reason for the hair removal procedure.

Swimmers remove the hair in order to at least slightly reduce the time at competitions.

<To sharpen skin sensitivity>

There is another reason for the removal of unwanted hair in addition to improving the time: to sharpen the sensitivity of the skin.

It will be easy for you to understand this feeling if you have ever removed unwanted hair. After the shaving procedure, it seems that with hair you have lost some part of your body, respectively, you feel differently than usual.

When you enter the water in this state, you get the feeling that you can cover a huge distance even with one touch of water.

<Full body hair removal the day before the game>

Masami Tanaka, a former swimmer, appeared in one of the television programs and told, that she had made a depilation procedure for the whole body the day before the game.

Although it seems that there is practically no difference in the “number of commas between seconds”, as a result you can see a clear difference.

For the first-class athletes is very important even a few seconds, so the hair is removed in order to minimize the time.

Conclusion

Has it now become clear to you why athletes undertake such efforts to take care of solving the problem of unwanted hair?
Perhaps, if sport matters to you only as a hobby, a goal of up to seconds for you may be irrelevant, but somehow it can significantly improve your results.
In addition, without unnecessary hair on your body, skin sensations can change and you will able to enjoy the exercise with comfort.
