There are many benefits, because it is carried out under the condition that the atmospheric pressure and oxygen partial pressure are lower than those in the plain, and the activity is large, which can strengthen the function of human organs and tissues and make the body comprehensive. Of course, in addition, mountaineering can also bring people other fun, mainly in the following aspects:
1, keep fit
All joints and muscles of the whole body can be effectively used when climbing mountains. In the process of climbing, due to the repeated flexion and extension of lower limbs, it has a great effect on waist and gluteal muscles, posterior thigh muscles, calf flexors and foot muscles.
Mountain climbing has a great exercise effect on cardiovascular system and health. Because mountaineering needs a lot of oxygen and nutrients, it forces the heart and lungs to strengthen their work to meet the needs of the body. This is why people are breathless and flustered when climbing mountains. After a period of exercise, the cardiopulmonary function will be significantly enhanced, and people's physical strength and endurance will also be enhanced accordingly.
The influence of mountaineering on nervous system and digestive system is also obvious. Some patients eat more sweetly through mountaineering, and their digestion and absorption functions are also strengthened.
2. Spiritual Zhi Tao
Conquering the summit is often compared to a sign of success. When climbers try their best to climb the peak and have a panoramic view of the magnificent natural scenery, the joy in their hearts is beyond words, and a kind of "excitement" will naturally arise at this time. This kind of mental activity can mobilize the physiological activity level of the central nervous system and various organs of the whole body and promote human health. In addition, in the process of mountain climbing, you can also exercise your spirit of overcoming difficulties and perseverance.
3. Environmental rehabilitation
The clean and fresh air in the mountains contains more solar ultraviolet rays than the flat land. Many plants in the mountains release "phytoncide" and "negative oxygen ions in the air" gather around the mountain waterfall, and the mountain spring water is rich, which adds charm. This is why many nursing homes for the elderly and the chronically ill in China are located in the mountains.
Second, mountaineering equipment:
Mountaineering, as a special activity, requires people's ability to adapt to the environment, so we must make full preparations before climbing.
1, material preparation
In addition to professional mountaineers, people usually choose beautiful peaks to climb. But even if it is not a very high mountain, it should not be underestimated, and the corresponding material preparation is necessary.
(1) shoes, socks and clothing
Leather shoes, new shoes and sandals are not suitable for mountain climbing. Wearing these shoes is not suitable for long-distance walking, the road is uneven and slippery, the soles of the feet are prone to blisters, and the skin of the feet is easily injured. What is really suitable for mountaineering are relatively light sports shoes, travel shoes and rubber-soled cloth shoes.
If you are outdoors for a long time, you'd better prepare more pairs of socks. The size should be moderate, neither too big nor too small. Socks are made of pure cotton, which is breathable and easy to absorb sweat. The temperature on the mountain changes greatly, and the mountain wind is also great. Therefore, you should bring enough clothes when you go up the mountain. You must take a windbreaker or a thin sweater even if the sun is scorching below. If you want to climb the southern mountains, rain gear is better.
(2) Auxiliary tools
The auxiliary tools to be prepared are: backpack, thermos pot, knife, flashlight, tableware, compass, map, rope, lighter, cream, etc. These gadgets will help you in the process of rock climbing. Walking sticks are necessary when climbing mountains.
(3) Essential drugs
Take some medicine, especially trauma medicine, such as band-aid, iodine and so on. If the mountaineering season is in the period when snakes and insects are infested, you should also bring snake medicine.
2. Physical preparation
If the mountain to climb is relatively high, or climbers seldom take part in climbing, it is necessary to do some warm-up exercises before climbing. Use 10 ~ 20 minutes to do some muscle stretching exercises and try to relax your whole body muscles, so that you will feel much more relaxed when climbing the mountain. Mountaineering consumes a lot of energy, so nutrition must keep up. Eat well before climbing the mountain, and eat better than usual. When climbing a mountain, you sweat a lot, so you should drink some light salt water properly to supplement the necessary water and salt. You can also prepare some milk candy to quickly replenish heat energy.
Third, the skills and methods of mountaineering
Walking and climbing on rugged mountain roads are very intense, so it is very important for the elderly to master and understand some climbing methods or skills when climbing.
1, the amount of exercise is reasonable.
Pay attention to the amount of exercise when climbing mountains. It depends on a person's physical strength and physical quality. Don't try to be brave and win others' breath to climb up and kill yourself. Therefore, we must master the amount of activity rhythmically. You can climb for a while, rest for a while, and then go forward to let your body adapt gradually.
At the beginning, the boarding height can be lower, the speed can be slower, the distance can be shorter and the number of breaks can be more. Then, the difficulty can be gradually increased. When the elderly take part in mountaineering activities, they should "tour the mountains", take a walk and have a look, and never compare with each other.
2. Technical points
Pay attention to mastering the essentials of mountaineering technology. When going up the mountain, you should lean forward and move your center of gravity forward appropriately, so as to effectively push your body forward; When going up the mountain, the steps should be small, the feet should be close, and the forefoot should land first. When the slope is large, the knees should be raised and the upper body should lean forward. Use your hands and feet when necessary. Don't hold your breath. When going downhill, the upper body stands upright or leans back. When the slope is large, you can use the action of landing sideways or sideways, or use the "S"-shaped route to move slowly.
In addition, don't always look up when climbing, especially at the beginning, because your legs are not used to climbing, and looking up often makes people feel very tired. Generally speaking, when climbing upward, it is best to keep your eyes three or five meters ahead.
3. Overcome mental fatigue.
Anyone who has climbed a mountain will experience psychological fatigue in the process of climbing it. If you always think about how high the mountain is and how long it will take to climb it, it will not only help, but also shake your determination to climb it. Only when you take your time and stop, can you appreciate the fun of climbing mountains. When you are tired, enjoy the surrounding scenery, sing songs and divert your attention, and the feeling of fatigue will be alleviated.
