Prevent lumbar muscle strain;
1. Strengthen back muscle exercise: Especially for people who sit and work for a long time, their back muscles are weak and easy to be injured, so we should strengthen back muscle exercise purposefully, such as doing some actions such as stretching forward, leaning back, bending left and right, turning waist, etc., so that the waist muscles are developed and the ligaments are strong. Obese people should lose weight and reduce the burden on the waist.
2. Life posture: From the biomechanical point of view, there are correct and incorrect movements in daily life, such as reading, holding things and sitting in a sitting position in daily life. If bad posture is adopted, it will not only increase the chance of lumbar muscle strain, but also increase the pressure in the intervertebral disc and increase the incidence of low back pain. Don't stand or sit for long. If you stand for a long time, you can squat to relax your waist muscles. When picking up heavy objects from the ground, you should kneel down to avoid bending over to increase the burden. When picking up a heavy object, try to get close to the object, make it close to the abdomen, and squat your legs slightly.
3. Sports posture: All kinds of sports have corresponding requirements, including the preparation before the start of heavy exercise, which must be followed, especially before and during the competition. The same should be true for daily exercise, such as jogging first, and then running fast after the body adapts.
