9 1 year-old woman breaks the sprint world record! What should the elderly pay attention to in sports?
9 1 year-old woman breaks the sprint world record! When I heard this sentence, my first thought was "impossible", but the reality is true. At the end of July, in the track and field championships held in Massachusetts, USA, Diane Hoffman, a 9 1 year-old man, broke the world record for the 400-meter dash of her age and ran for 2 minutes and 44 seconds. What is even more surprising is that she officially participated in running training only last year. Seeing this news, many netizens ridiculed: live to 9 1 year-old first.

In recent years, there have been many such cases in China. Don't underestimate these old people. They are still as strong as young people. As long as you want to exercise, age is not a problem at all. However, exercise is a good thing, and many elderly people must also pay attention to life safety during exercise. What should the elderly pay attention to in sports?

First, don't do weight-bearing exercise.

When people are carrying weight, the pressure in the lungs will increase, the blood circulation will be blocked, the burden on the heart will increase, and the amount of blood flowing back to the heart will decrease, resulting in tight blood supply to the brain and dizziness. Because the organs of the elderly will gradually decline with age, they generally have problems of high blood pressure and emphysema. If they carry out weight-bearing exercise, they are particularly prone to cerebral hemorrhage and life-threatening.

Second, pay attention to diet.

The digestive system of the elderly will be very slow, and they can't exercise immediately after eating, otherwise it will cause digestive dysfunction and cause some chronic diseases. Due to the degradation of physical function, the elderly are prone to sweating, body water loss, blood volume reduction and heart rate acceleration even after slow exercise. Therefore, it is necessary to replenish water and salt water in time. Cold water and functional drinks can't be drunk, which is not good for the elderly.

Third, avoid being competitive.

Although people are old, many old people still maintain a spirit of daring to fight and want to win the first place. But for the elderly, the physical load capacity is much lower than that of young people. Intense competition can easily lead to hypoxia in the body, insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, syncope and even life-threatening. Therefore, the exercise of the elderly needs to be gradual and slow, not eager for quick success and instant benefit, and it is counterproductive.

Life is endless, and exercise is endless. I hope that young people will spend more time exercising and the elderly will exercise healthily. After all, health is the capital of revolution.
