In keeping with the cooler temperatures and uncomfortable weather, we would like to introduce a sport that is becoming increasingly popular: ice swimming. In Berlin, too, more and more brave souls are venturing into the cool water. Whether at official events such as on 21.01.2024 in the Friedrichshagen lakeside resort or at regular meetings of enthusiastic bathing fans such as the Ice Dippers and the Berlin Sea Dogs. Read on to find out what happens to your body when you dare to go into the water, what else you need to consider when ice swimming and how you can prepare for it. What happens in the body during ice bathing? The cold stimulus, if correctly dosed, triggers a positive stress reaction. The pulse rate increases, blood pressure rises and the breathing rate quickens. The subsequent wave of warmth is caused by a large number of active substances released, including the stress hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline, which stimulate blood circulation in the body. This positive stress reaction leads to healthy counter-reactions with repeated ice bathing. Respiratory tract infections can be alleviated and bacteria and viruses are successfully combated. Cooling down can normalize nervous disorders and overheating of the body, and inflammatory processes – such as those that occur in rheumatism – can be positively influenced in the long term. The release of happiness hormones can even reduce depression. When should you avoid ice bathing? If you want to go ice bathing, you should be healthy. Absolute contraindications are blood pressure disorders, circulatory disorders of the heart, recent heart attacks and heart surgery, pacemakers, epilepsy, arterial occlusive disease, recent thrombosis, kidney disease and acute infections. In any case, it is advisable to have a health check-up with your family doctor beforehand. How can you prepare for ice bathing? The “jump” into the cold water should be prepared slowly and carefully. It is advisable to start with alternating showers. Regular sauna sessions are also beneficial. Ideally, you should start swimming in a lake or river in summer and continue to do so throughout the seasons to gradually get used to the colder water. It is also important to limit the duration of your swim. Beginners should not stay in the water for longer than 30 seconds at a water temperature of 5°C. What to look out for when ice bathing? There are a few bathing rules that must be observed. The water should only be shallow and have a shallow entrance so that it is easy to get in and out of the water. The head must not be submerged and should ideally be covered by a cap. In addition, you should not go swimming alone, but in groups. Warming up the body beforehand is very important to avoid further cooling after the ice bath. If you follow these rules, you can look forward to the positive effects of ice bathing on your body, mind and health.

In keeping with the season, we present curling. In this article, you can find out about the history of curling. It also explains everything you need to know to play a game yourself. In the run-up to Christmas, sometimes until the end of February, there are also several locations in Berlin where you can book and play on the rinks. Stocksport is a sport that is practiced on ice or asphalt. Basically, the aim is to “shoot” a stick (also known as an ice stick) as close as possible to a target stone (stave). History of stick sports The first precursors of curling probably originated in Scandinavia in the 13th century. It was described as a “hunting game” in which the target cube (stave) was “hunted” with a wooden block (curling stick). The aim of the game was to conquer the opponent’s possession by bringing one’s own wooden blocks closer to the target cube. Sports historians believe that curling developed into a popular winter sport in the Alpine region and other parts of Central Europe from the 16th century onwards. There is little evidence of how the sport developed until the 19th century. It was only then that more contributions were found in art and literature that referred to stick sports. The first clubs were also founded. In the 20th century, popularity continued to grow and the first national championships were held, especially in the Alpine region. The first European Championships took place in Garmisch-Patenkirchen in 1951. The winner was Germany. The worldwide popularity reached its first peak in 1983 with the first World Championships in Frankfurt am Main. The winner here was Italy. However, it has not yet been approved as an Olympic discipline. Playing field Curling can be played on all smooth surfaces, whether on ice, asphalt, carpet or wooden floors. The playing field is always the same and looks like this: It consists of 2 rectangles facing each other, the standing field and the target field. Both are 3m wide and 6m long. They are 14m apart. At the end of the standing area is the playing area from which the ice stick is played towards the target area. In the middle of both rectangles is the center cross, on which the target stone (stave) is placed. After one pass, play continues in the opposite direction. Rules and scoring for the team competition The aim of the game is to get your own curling stone closer to the target stone (stave) than your opponent. To do this, both teams take it in turns to “shoot” 4 curling stones in the direction of the target stone. If this changes its position within the playing field, it is used. If it lands outside, it is returned to the center cross. Ice sticks that do not reach the target area are removed from the game. Once 4 curling sticks have been played, the first round (sweep) ends. First, “stick points” are awarded. The team that places their ice stick closest to the target stone wins 3 “stick points”. There are 2 “stick points” for each ice stick placed better than the opponent’s best. So there is a maximum of 9 “stick points” to be won. The game is over after 6 rounds. The team with the most “stick points” receives 2 victory points. In the event of a draw, 1 victory point is awarded to each team. In a tournament, the team that has won the most victory points at the end wins. Worth knowing In addition to the team competition, there are other forms of stick shooting, such as the individual, target and distance competitions. You can find information on this and much more here. Curling is not only fun, but also promotes concentration, fine motor skills and tactical thinking. Playing outside also strengthens the immune system. The basic equipment for a game consists of a total of 8 ice sticks (4 of each color) with corresponding outsoles and a target stone (stave). You can find everything you need for the sport online. Non-slip shoes and clothing suitable for the weather are also important.
