What is the fart that appears when you run?

Doctors call it transient abdominal pain (DAT) associated with exercise , although colloquially known as flatus. Sufferers describe it as a " sharp, stabbing pain located in the abdominal area , usually lateral, associated with performing repetitive movements of the torso. "Its causes are unknown for now. One of the possible explanations is that experts shuffled excessive rigidity and hypertonia that some athletes may occur in the muscles that stabilize the spine generate a sharp pain under the diaphragm . Others attribute it to not get enough blood (and, therefore, enough oxygen) to the diaphragm, the main muscle breathing, leading to muscle fatigue.

Where I do seem to agree all the experts, as recorded by an article recently published in the Journal of Sports Medicine Andalusian, is that the intake of liquids or solids before or during practice Sport influences these episodes . Recent studies indicate that hypertonic drinks with high sugar concentrations are those that most likely to cause flatulence, because they make the emptying of the stomach is much slower.

Experts recommend avoidance of intake 1 or 2 hours before the practice of physical exercise and avoid carbohydrate-rich beverages such as juices. For sports where flatus occurs more frequently, a recent study showed that swimming was the sport in which there more episodes (75%) , followed by race (69%), horse (62%), aerobic practices (52%), basketball (47%) and cycling (32%).
