Except for a few cases of physical weakness caused by poor health assessment, most gym accidents are sports injuries. However, professionals said: sports injuries are not the patent of novices, and sometimes the frequency of old birds may be higher, and there is no reason. The so-called "carelessness in Jingzhou" may be just a temporary negligence or laziness, and the saved strength is often the murderer who leads to muscle strain and bone dislocation!
Doctors say that there are about three kinds of accidental injuries that may occur in general gyms: sprain, muscle strain and fracture:
Sprain: The symptoms are mostly ankle tendon rupture. The biggest trick to avoid sprain is to wear a pair of standard sports shoes to keep fit. Soft and shockproof sports shoes can absorb the pressure from the ground, slow down the impact on the feet, and indirectly reduce the chance of sprain. They are necessary equipment to prevent sports injuries.
Muscle strain: mostly caused by not warming up before exercise. The fitness instructor reminds you to warm up for at least five minutes before each exercise. The movements need not be complicated, as long as you can stretch your limbs evenly and exercise your bones and muscles. In addition, excessive exercise may also cause muscle strain. The best way to avoid this situation is to follow the fitness plan put forward by the coach, don't be greedy and do too much exercise at once.
As for muscle strain, how to deal with it? If the pain is only mild, you can take a hot bath or aromatherapy to relieve the symptoms. Many plants in nature have the function of relieving muscle pain, such as chamomile, rosemary and eucalyptus oil. Massage the local area directly with this aromatic essential oil, or drop a few drops in the bathtub, and the pain will be quickly eliminated. And if the degree of pain has hindered the normal activities of limbs, you should go to the hospital to report. Don't use Chinese patent medicine indiscriminately, so as not to worsen the symptoms.
Fractures and dislocations: Doctors say that most cases of fractures or dislocations are due to incorrect fitness exercises, especially weight training equipment.
Most of the fractures caused by sports injuries are lower limbs, especially some instruments that emphasize leg muscle strength exercise, such as leg lifting, which are most likely to lead to leg fractures due to overtraining. Dr. Lai also said that this kind of leg bone fracture may only be a slight fracture of the bone, and the current pain symptoms are not very obvious, so it is easy to be ignored. It is safer to communicate with the coach in advance. Pay attention to your physical condition at any time during exercise and don't try to be brave. If you don't know how to surpass common sense after exercise, you should seek medical advice quickly, so that you can worship sports injuries forever!
