People who swim often have good balance. Because swimming needs to create a supporting foundation for itself, so that the movements of the upper and lower limbs can be coordinated. If the elderly swim, they can improve their balance ability, thus preventing them from falling. On the other hand, swimmers will be impacted by water, and their muscles will be strengthened at this time, and the muscles of the elderly will be strengthened and have good flexibility.
A considerable amount of data shows that 1 3 people aged 65 and above fall1times every year. Therefore, swimming can not only reduce the falls of the elderly, but also reduce the occurrence of chronic diseases. In view of the fact that most elderly people swim with diseases, or the elderly swim, this paper introduces the matters needing attention in swimming for the elderly:
1. Old people must have a physical examination before swimming to see if their bodies are suitable for swimming in the water, so that doctors can wait. If they are suitable for swimming, don't go swimming easily if they are not.
2. When the elderly swim, they should pay attention to the speed and the amount of exercise. Because the heart and lung function of the elderly is declining, they should rest or stop swimming every 30 minutes or so.
3. Old people should swim in different occasions, and don't go to some swimming places with deep water. Try to go to a shallow and safe swimming pool to avoid accidents.
4. Old people should do warm-up activities, move joints and stretch muscles before swimming, which can effectively prevent cramps. Don't eat too much before swimming and don't eat on an empty stomach. Overweight swimming will affect gastrointestinal blood supply, and hungry swimming will cause hypoglycemia.
In any exercise, the elderly should try to walk with their families, because this can avoid accidents. I believe you know the precautions for swimming for the elderly. In case of an accident, the general swimming pool will have professionals to ask for help in time, and ask the doctor what to do at the first time, and don't rescue them without authorization.
