Generally speaking, there are many sports we can choose, and everyone will choose their favorite sports, but generally speaking, sports can be roughly divided into three categories. One is to exercise our cardiopulmonary function, such as long-distance running and swimming. The second can exercise our strength, such as parallel bars, dumbbells and other mechanical sports; The third category is some elastic sports, such as yoga and aerobics.
In fact, from the perspective of sports medicine, each of us has physical fitness, which is technically called physical fitness, that is, we have enough energy to work and study, we will not feel tired, and we will have spare capacity to adapt to unexpected physical conditions. This includes two aspects: healthy physical quality and skilled physical quality. The former includes muscle ability, muscle endurance, cardiopulmonary endurance, etc. The latter refers to agility, balance, coordination, speed and explosiveness.
If we only focus on a certain sport, then our other physical abilities can't be exercised. For example, if you are a long-distance runner, your cardiopulmonary function and endurance can be well exercised, but at the same time, your strength and flexibility may be slightly worse. If you like square dance, it means that your flexibility is good, but your endurance and muscle strength will be worse.
Therefore, to sum up, it seems that the most ideal exercise mode should be a combination of various forms of exercise, and choose a variety of different exercises on the basis of your own interests. Old people should do 3 or 4 different exercises without changing the mode, which can not only reduce the risk of excessive exercise, but also gain the benefits brought by different exercise combinations.
