Would Swimming Stamina Be Available While Doing Other Exercises?
Hi, I do swimming twice in a week for around 25 mins. I am following this for last 1 year. People say that swimming helps in increasing stamina. I feel comfortable in swimming even if i swim for 30-40 mins continuosly. But if i do walking, jogging or play tennis, i get tired early and have to take some rest in between. Does the growing stamina from swimming is available for swimming only and not present doig any other exercise.

Hi welcome to HCM
I have gone thru your query regarding "swimming stamina be available while doing other exercises".
Dear , swimming involves your lungs legs hand in fact your whole body so helps build your endurance which can be used in other workouts as well . Growing stamina in swimming is not for swimming only.
is of course , a good way to build stamina for tennis when you aren't playing too often .
You can do this in any context: tennis, swimming, biking, running, that is gentle on your joints, although obviously it won't help with your hand eye coordination for tennis .
Pranayam & Yoga is reputed to be very beneficial for gaining strength all over your body
specially pranayam - deep breathing help build endurance .Every time you breathe in, your belly should fill up like a balloon, . And every time you breathe out, that balloon should deflate.
When you take a breath, 80 percent of the work is done by the diaphragm. Slow and deep breaths help strengthen your diaphragm .
If you strengthen your diaphragm, you may improve your endurance and be less likely to become fatigued." It helps in swimming also .
Hope this helps solve your query Take care All the best
