Liu Xin, the referee of freestyle skiing in Beijing Winter Olympics and an expert in prosthodontics in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, specially reminded the public that while enjoying the excitement and joy brought by ice and snow sports, especially skiing events, they must master basic sports knowledge and skills to provide a protective "barrier" for their own safety. Teenagers, in particular, are still in the growth stage and their physical and mental development has not yet been completed. It is very important to be familiar with skiing knowledge and ensure sports health.
0 1, different age groups need to choose appropriate projects.
Under 5 years old, it is recommended to experience low-skill skiing accompanied by parents, such as sledding, snow slides and other games. At this stage, the child's physiological level has not yet reached the level of learning skiing, mainly to cultivate hobbies.
At the age of 6 9, arrange the ski training content that is easy to learn. At this stage, children's reaction ability, spatial ability and balance ability develop rapidly, so it is more appropriate to cultivate skiing ability through basic training. Under the guidance of professional coaches, you can slowly slide and turn in a straight line on the primary snow trail, and practice step by step, not too fast.
10 13 years old, with the gradual maturity of coordination ability, reaction ability and time-space discrimination ability, children at this age stage can increase slightly difficult skiing skills exercises on the basis of mastering the basic skiing essentials, such as initially trying to ski in the big slalom and small slalom on the intermediate ski run, and gradually improve the skiing speed.
14 16 years old, due to the maturity of perception, I can learn all theoretical knowledge and skiing skills from basic skiing to advanced skiing. However, it should be noted that during this period, we should strengthen the guidance of their interests and hobbies, and don't rush to achieve success and practice forcibly to avoid rebellious psychology.
/kloc-Teenagers over 0/6 years old tend to mature physically at this age, and all physiological indexes are close to the level of adults. You can choose experienced coaches to systematically teach junior, intermediate and advanced skiing skills and technical movements with certain difficulties.
02, establish the consciousness of preventing sports losses.
Liu Xin specially reminded that skiing should first establish the awareness of nip in the bud, and must put self-protection in the first place. At the same time, we should be familiar with the knowledge, skills and essentials of snow sports, make necessary preparations in advance, and learn to deal with general injuries and emergencies on the spot.
Choosing skiing equipment scientifically and reasonably is the first step to effectively ensure skiing safety. Try to choose breathable, waterproof and frictional ski clothes, warm and appropriate-sized snow boots, and provide basic protective articles such as wrist pads, knee pads, elbow pads, helmets, ski masks and ski goggles. If you rent ski equipment directly at the ski resort, you need to choose appropriate snowshoes, protective gear and appliances according to your height, weight and sports type, and carefully check the quality of the equipment in advance. Under the guidance of professionals, wear ski professional equipment correctly and check one by one.
When you are in contact with skiing for the first time, you must listen to the advice of professionals, choose a suitable ski resort, control the terrain and slope, and actively abide by the rules, regulations and requirements of the venue. Carefully follow professional coaches for warm-up activities, patiently watch demonstrations, and pay attention to learning standardized self-protection skills while learning skiing techniques. Don't be blind and confident, and be eager for success. At the same time, the intensity of skiing is also relatively large, which consumes a lot of physical strength. Make sure you are in good health before joining, and rest at any time according to your own condition to supplement nutrition and calories.
Among the accidental injuries caused by skiing, facial injuries, especially front teeth injuries, are more common. Experts suggest that when a tooth is broken but not dislocated, it should be reset as soon as possible. If the teeth have completely fallen off, those who have the conditions should clean the fallen teeth as much as possible and put them at the base of the tongue, so as to find a dentist for reduction and fixation in the shortest time. For the slightly damaged maxillofacial region, cold compress should be applied immediately to prevent swelling, and hot compress should be applied after more than 24 hours.
When joint sprain or muscle strain occurs, stop exercising immediately, cover the injured part with ice and snow on the spot to avoid excessive swelling caused by exudate, and use medical bandage for pressure dressing. When you suspect that you have a maxillofacial or body fracture, you can take local materials, use skis or dry branches as splints to fix the fracture site, and go to the nearest medical point for professional treatment as soon as possible.
When the skin is bruised and bleeding, the wound should be bandaged with sterile gauze to stop bleeding. Ski resorts have a complicated environment. If there is an open wound, pay attention to avoid infection. Go to the nearest medical point as soon as possible to clean and disinfect the wound with borax water or normal saline, and apply ointment or bandage. In addition, skiing for a long time also needs to prevent frostbite at the ends of limbs. When frostbite occurs, it should be soaked in warm water in time, or placed under the armpit and abdomen for temporary rewarming, and then quickly go to the nearest medical point for disposal. Never take snow rubbing, cold water soaking, direct fire roasting and other methods.
03. Five safety tips for skiing.
In order to ensure skiing safety, experts also suggest:
Familiar with the environment?
Fully understand the situation of the site, such as the height, slope, length, width and surrounding environment of the snow trail, and choose the appropriate slide according to your own skiing level; Read maps, related guides or manuals carefully to understand the distribution of snow resort facilities such as first aid stations and lounges; Grasp the opening hours of the ropeway, and don't take it when it is temporarily unattended.
conform to the directions
Skiing practice should be gradual. During the practice, you should strictly abide by the arrangement and command of the coach and the staff of the ski resort, and don't ski on the snowy road beyond your technical ability without authorization to avoid accidents.
Leave a gap
Keep a safe distance from others to avoid collision. When the snowfield is crowded, you should adjust the speed to ensure the safety of yourself and others.
Do what you can.
