Recently, a 93-year-old man insisted on skipping rope for 40 years and exercised for 5 hours every day, which became popular on the Internet. Everyone admires the old man. For young people, even if they spend two hours exercising every day, they will feel reluctant. However, the persistent exercise spirit of the old people really makes many young people sigh.

However, spirit belongs to spirit. Is it really good for such an old man to do such strenuous exercise with such a large amount of exercise? In fact, many experts and doctors don't recommend that the elderly usually do too much exercise.

First of all, because the elderly are old, their heart, lungs and bones are not as good as those of young people. But exercise needs the coordination of heart, lungs and bones, so I am worried that too much exercise and too much exercise intensity will bring problems to the elderly.

On the other hand, it is not recommended because for the elderly who may not have long-term exercise habits and suddenly want to start exercising, it is not recommended to suddenly increase too much exercise.

Sports for the elderly

So, what problems should the elderly pay attention to in sports? The first thing is to replenish water before exercise, and pay attention to your breathing and some physical conditions during exercise. If you feel unwell, you should stop at once. You can't be too eager for success.

And if you exercise in winter, you can't take off your clothes because you sweat, otherwise it will lead to a cold. In addition, it is best for the elderly not to do weight-bearing exercise, otherwise it should be carried out under the guidance of professionals.

Another point is the time difference between eating and exercising. Don't exercise immediately after eating, and don't eat immediately after exercise. Let the body cool down first and breathe completely smoothly before eating.
