About the benefits of Outdoor in winter
The peculiarity of physical activity at low temperatures is that it provides an additional adaptation stimulus for the process of energy exchange in the cells. In layman's terms, there is an activation (acceleration) of metabolic processes due to the inclusion of the physiological mechanism of contractile and non-compressible thermogenesis.
Contractile thermogenesis. By this we mean both the possibility and motivation of voluntary activity (we want to move around to get warm) and involuntary activity - in the form of muscle shivering. At the level of cells it is expressed in a) activation of work of muscle mitochondria (cells' energy stations), b) "unwinding" of energy reactions and increase of energy production spent both for maintaining body temperature and for motor activity, if there is such.
