I understand from the basic guidelines that you aren't supposed to exercise before or after diving. What is the reasoning for this? Is it related to Nitrogen loading and off gasing? Or just not being ideal to dive tired?
I ask because I am a runner, run six times a week, and want to know how much I should moderate my running if I'm diving on the weekend. Is the guideline just against strenuous exercise? For example I regularly run about 6 miles a day, and for the most part this feels easy as long as I don't push the pace. If I'm diving in the afternoon would it be okay to do an easy run like this or conversely if I dive in the morning could I do an easy run in the evening? I suspect this also is related to the type of diving. Multiple dives at depth being a larger consideration than say one shallow water dive.
It's probably worth mentioning here that I am new diver, but a really experienced runner.
