Many elderly people will strengthen their immunity through fitness. However, due to the deterioration of physical skills of the elderly, fitness is accompanied by large and small problems. This article tells about the situation that often happens when the elderly keep fit.
What conditions do the elderly often have for fitness? 1 dyspnea.
For people who haven't adapted to exercise, 1 ~ 2 minutes begins to feel difficult to breathe, which often leads to the inability to continue exercising. In most cases, before the oxygen transport capacity of breathing and circulation is fully improved, the energy of anaerobic energy supply has been exhausted or blood lactic acid has increased significantly. At this time, you can stop exercising, rest for a few minutes to restore your body to a calm state, and then start light exercise exercises. The average person can smoothly transition from anaerobic process to aerobic process as long as the exercise intensity is not high. 10 ~ 20 minutes of exercise can also be simply completed. If you have symptoms of dyspnea within 5 minutes, you can consider that the intensity of exercise is too high and it is not suitable for you.
abdominalgia
There are many reasons for abdominal pain that often occurs during exercise, but most of them are caused by exercise and gastrointestinal spasm or liver and spleen congestion. Gastrointestinal spasm is mostly caused by the accumulation of waste gas in the intestine. For example, some foods ferment in the gastrointestinal tract, which will produce some waste gas. In addition, eating too much or drinking too much carbonated drinks can also cause abdominal pain, which is also caused by the stimulation of cold air brought into the esophagus when eating, drinking and swallowing saliva. Abdominal pain caused by blood stasis in liver and spleen is mainly swelling pain, which is due to the fact that the function of circulatory organs (cardiovascular system) has not been adapted immediately after the body enters the exercise state, and the amount of blood returning to the heart is less, resulting in temporary stagnation of venous blood in liver and spleen.
When abdominal pain occurs, stop exercising or slow down the exercise speed, and the pain symptoms can be eliminated naturally. People who are prone to abdominal pain should pay attention to adjusting the food structure in their daily lives, try to eat easily digestible food, develop the habit of defecation every morning, and control the intake of carbonated drinks before and during exercise. Warm-up activities should also be taken seriously, so that the body gradually enters the state of exercise. When running, you should master the correct breathing method, try to breathe through your nose instead of your mouth, and adjust the rhythm and depth of breathing according to the amount of exercise.
What are the common situations of fitness for the elderly? After the elderly reach a certain age, fitness can be seen everywhere. There are various ways for the elderly to keep fit, but no matter what sports the elderly have, they need to stop immediately if there is an emergency. Then let's take a look at those fitness situations that need to be stopped.
Of course, this also needs to be judged according to a feeling of self, which is generally divided into two types: normal feeling and abnormal feeling. When exercising, if you feel abnormal, you must stop exercising, seek medical diagnosis or consult an expert.
Dizziness: You won't feel dizzy except to start practicing some spinning movements. If persistent or transient dizziness occurs, middle-aged and elderly people should stop their activities and seek medical treatment.
Headache: Headache should not occur during or after all sports activities. When you have a headache, you should stop exercising.
Asthma: Asthma is a normal phenomenon during exercise. Asthma will occur in different degrees with different exercise intensity, and it can return to normal after rest, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is an abnormal phenomenon that a little activity will make you gasp and you can't recover after a long rest.
Thirst: It is normal to feel thirsty after exercise. But if you drink too much water, you will still be thirsty and urinate too much. This is an abnormal phenomenon.
