Meng Qinggui pointed out that crawling fitness is a kind of whole-body exercise, which is very consistent with the overall concept of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine says it runs through the whole body. When crawling, qi can reach all parts of the body through movement, especially the limbs. Chinese medicine believes that "the general principle is painless, and pain is unreasonable." Therefore, crawling has a certain effect on some diseases such as lumbar vertebrae, lumbar muscle strain and various neck, shoulder and spine diseases.
Second, it is conducive to the smooth flow of blood.
Meng Qinggui explained that when the human body is upright, to promote blood circulation, it is necessary to overcome the influence of blood gravity, and the burden on the heart will be heavy; Moreover, when people exercise upright, their lower limbs are mainly active, and their qi and blood will drop more, and their heart and upper organs will decrease. Compared with this, when crawling, the position of the heart and its above parts is reduced, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of the whole body and has positive significance for the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
Third, it is good for brain health.
When people crawl, their heads often droop and their blood volume increases accordingly, so it is very beneficial to brain health.
Fourth, it is conducive to strengthening the body and bones.
Meng Qinggui pointed out that crawling also has many benefits to other systems in the whole body: crawling can make the body stronger, because it is a coordinated activity of the whole body, and the muscles, ligaments, bones and even meridians of the whole body should join in the exercise; Crawling can also make bones harder, reduce osteoporosis and make joints softer;
Crawling can benefit muscles, making them more tense and elastic, more developed and able to contract freely; Crawling is a good aerobic exercise. When the arm is stretched forward and the diaphragm is pulled open, a lot of oxygen will be inhaled. When the lower limbs move upward, the diaphragm will be compressed, prompting the lungs to discharge a lot of waste gas. Crawling promotes respiratory function, and the coordination of inhalation and exhalation depends on the movement mode when crawling. The faster you climb, the more you breathe deeply.
Crawling can promote whole body coordination.
From the point of view of modern medicine, it is mainly believed that crawling has the coordination of the whole body, which can make some muscles that are usually used less exercise and strengthen the muscles, ligaments, bones and other tissues of the whole body.
At present, crawling is mainly divided into two postures: kneeling crawling (or crawling with both hands and feet) and crawling with both hands and feet. The former is the method of landing on both hands and knees and crawling alternately with both hands and knees. It is characterized by looking up, five fingers off the ground, two arms with shoulder width, knees touching the ground with shoulder width; The latter is the method of landing on both hands and feet, and crawling alternately with hands and feet. It is characterized by head raised, five fingers off the ground, two arms shoulder-width, feet separated by about one and a half shoulders, feet touching the ground and knees slightly bent. The latter is more operable.
People's network-crawling fitness has many benefits.
