According to a study conducted by Umberto Alfieri Montrasio of the IRCCS Galeazzi Orthopedic Institute, with the right precautions, anyone can enjoy the benefits of running on sand.
First, the proximity to the sea and the increased oxygenation of the tissues that this activity promotes—thanks to the elevated heart rate—ensure greater absorption of the iodine present in the air, which, barring specific medical conditions, is beneficial to health and helps rebalance certain physiological processes. Furthermore, the uneven terrain helps train proprioception.

Running on wet sand, which has a firm texture, is suitable for amateur runners.
For athletes, running on dry sand—which is less stable—is also recommended, as it provides greater muscle strengthening, as well as training in balance and body control. The soft texture of the sand can also cushion the impact with the ground, protecting the joints.
The increased effort required by this activity—due to the uneven terrain—allows you to burn more calories, making it suitable for those trying to lose weight.

Running on sand is a sport practiced mainly during the summer months, when many people head to beach destinations. There is one defining characteristic of this time of year: the heat. Oxyburn garments have the features needed to handle these conditions: they are lightweight, breathable, made with synthetic yarns that allow for rapid sweat absorption, thermoregulating, form-fitting yet elastic and soft, and minimize seam friction thanks to the use of seamless construction. Available in a wide variety of colors, they offer a broad selection of lighter shades that minimally absorb the sun’s rays, keeping you cool.
Try, for example, the KIM tank top, the FIT-BRA, and the CROSS T-shirt, as well as the DYNAMIC, RISE UP, or AXO pants. They’ll be your perfect companions on every adventure.
