How to exercise in spring?
Autumn harvest, winter storage, spring life, long summer. Spring is coming, everything is reviving, and the human body needs exercise. People who have been hibernating for a winter can finally get out of their homes and go for an outing in the suburbs to feel the vitality of spring, seize the time to exercise their bones and get rid of the accumulated fat.
After the "sports low tide period" in cold winter, the functions of human organs are at a low level, and the seasonal activity is low. At this time, the muscles are slack, the ligaments are hard, and the functions of the central nervous system and visceral system are low. If you are eager to carry out intense and improper exercise, it is easy to cause injuries. Therefore, every spring is the season of high incidence of sports injuries. The climate change in spring is quite repeated, so how to exercise is very particular; In order to prevent accidental injuries in spring sports, attention should be paid to item 10: Luo Hanhua, Department of Rehabilitation, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
First, avoid sudden exercise and advocate gradual progress: the main purpose should be to restore physical function, step by step and suit people; Do enough warm-up activities before exercise to fully relax muscles and ligaments. For example, you should do joint activities, stretch ligaments and do some simple physical exercises before exercise.
Second, avoid foggy days and advocate indoor sports: the fog is heavy in spring, and the fog beads contain a lot of harmful substances such as dust and pathogenic microorganisms. During exercise, due to the increase of breathing ability, the lungs are bound to inhale more harmful substances. It is best not to do outdoor sports, but to promote indoor sports.
Third, avoid breathing through the mouth and advocate breathing through the nose: in foggy spring, there are many dust and germs. Breathing during exercise should try to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Exercise should form the habit of breathing through the nose, because nose hair can filter out the air and protect the trachea and lungs from dust and germs.
Fourth, avoid wearing thin clothes and advocate warmth and cold protection: the climate changes repeatedly in spring, and the weather is hot and cold. In early spring, when the temperature is warm and cold, physical activity is too large and sweating is too much. Once it is blown by cold air, it is easy to catch a cold and induce various respiratory diseases. Therefore, pay attention to climate change. Don't take off your coat immediately when you start exercising in spring, and then gradually reduce your clothes after your body is slightly hot. After the exercise, you should immediately wipe your sweat and put on clothes to prevent catching cold.
5. Avoid exercise on an empty stomach, and advocate eating before exercise. Avoid morning exercises on an empty stomach in spring. Don't do morning exercises on an empty stomach or a full stomach. If you ignore the physical loss, besides hypoglycemia, human blood is sticky, coupled with factors such as low temperature and vasoconstriction in spring, if you exercise on an empty stomach, you may suddenly die of hypoglycemia and heart disease. You'd better eat something before exercise. Such as bread, milk, eggs and fruits, until they are half full. Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated. In spring, because the temperature is still low, people often ignore the importance of drinking water during exercise. In fact, at this time, the climate is relatively dry, and a lot of perspiration is needed during exercise, so at this time, exercise should pay attention to replenish water in time. It is advocated to drink a cup of warm water before exercise to dilute the blood viscosity, eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body, play the role of "internal washing", and reduce the reabsorption of intestinal endotoxin by the large intestine before exercise.
6. Avoid getting up early and going out to exercise, and advocate doing it in the afternoon: it is foggy in spring and the air is not fresh in the morning. Before sunrise, the air pollution on the ground is the heaviest, and there is less oxygen at this time. Morning exercise is not advocated in spring. After sunrise, the green plants start photosynthesis, inhaling carbon dioxide, spitting out oxygen, and the air is fresh. It is recommended to exercise at dusk, and the air around 4 pm in spring is rich in oxygen negative ions.
7. Avoid strenuous exercise and advocate adjustment and adaptation: Traditional Chinese medicine health care believes that spring exercise is very important, which can better adapt to the changes of yang in the body and remove the cold accumulated in the body in a winter. It is a very beneficial health care method. But strenuous running, jumping and sweating are not recommended. "Yang is born in spring, and excessive exercise and loss are not conducive to human yang and growth." In spring, exercise is mainly to restore the functional level of the human body. We should not blindly pursue the amount of exercise, but pay attention to moderation. The initial amount should not be too large, so we should pay attention to the way and rhythm and exercise step by step. Don't blindly increase the amount of exercise for the sake of "crash". Prevent muscle and ligament damage caused by sudden increase in exercise. In spring, the body needs an adjustment stage to adapt to the large amount of exercise. Sudden heavy exercise will cause great consumption to the body. We should choose ways with slow pace and little exercise, such as mountain climbing, jogging, walking, Tai Chi, aerobics and so on. Calculation of the amount of exercise: It varies from person to person, and the intensity of exercise after exercise is (220- age) × (0.65-0.85).
8. Avoid anaerobic exercise and advocate aerobic exercise: In spring, you should choose suitable aerobic fitness programs, such as cycling, mountain climbing, brisk walking, playing basketball, football and other outdoor sports in a spacious and well-ventilated fitness place. And long-term persistence, fitness is expensive in the long run. It is also a good choice to exercise on treadmills, equipment and aerobics. At the gym. The good atmosphere of everyone working together and promoting each other in the gym helps to stick to it.
Nine, avoid three kinds of bad weather in morning exercise:
1. Rain and fog weather: Today's "fog" is not the "water fog" in the past, but mostly "polluted fog" with serious pollution. Tiny droplets contain a lot of pollutants and pathogens. When morning exercises increase, more pollutants will be inhaled. In severe cases, it will cause dyspnea, chest tightness and palpitation. Heart disease, cerebrovascular disease.
2. Low temperature weather: If the temperature is too low in winter morning, or the temperature drops suddenly, it is not suitable for morning exercise, especially for the elderly and infirm, who have poor body temperature regulation ability and are prone to cold, and the elderly should also pay attention to keeping out the cold.
3. In the forest on rainy days: If you want to do morning exercises on rainy days, you should advocate doing them in the forest. Because trees are not exposed to sunlight at this time, they still breathe oxygen and spit carbon, which will cause carbon dioxide poisoning. At the same time, it is not suitable for morning exercise on the roadside, near factories and crowded places, which is seriously polluted and harmful to the body.
X. time selection: spring exercise and fitness time can be selected 14:00-20:00. The research shows that after 14: 00, the human body's function begins to rise, and it reaches the best at 17: 00 to 19: 00, when the exercise choice is obviously appropriate.
