Flat plate support is helpful to exercise muscle groups such as back, abdomen, lower back and buttocks, and core muscle groups such as adductor and diaphragm.
Flat support has been sought after by many pump supporters, especially after many celebrity big coffees exposed their photos of flat support and fitness effects, which triggered a nationwide flat support boom. Even the limit time of supporting the tablet has become the content of the circle of friends. But do you know that the length of plate support actually doesn't make much sense?
Stuart McGill, honorary professor of spinal biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada, said in his research that it is meaningless to support steel plates for more than 10 seconds, and it would be more beneficial to shorten the single duration of steel plate support and increase the frequency.
All these years of flat support are wrong! Can patients with lumbar disc herniation be supported by flat plate?
Patients with lumbar disc herniation are often accompanied by lumbar muscle strain. In principle, proper exercise can enhance the strength of lumbar muscles, help patients relieve symptoms, and even assist in treatment. However, not all patients with lumbar disc herniation can be supported by steel plates!
When lumbar disc herniation occurs in the acute stage and the condition is serious, plate support can not only help the treatment but also aggravate the condition, especially for friends who blindly pursue the support time, which needs more attention!
Of course, whether patients with lumbar disc herniation and patients with lumbar muscle strain can do flat support is best to go to the hospital to consult a doctor! Furthermore, some movements, belly rolling and sit-ups in yoga may affect the health of lumbar spine, so you must consult a doctor and inform the coach before doing it, so as to work out an exercise method suitable for patients.
I hope to remind the public of two points through this article:
1, the supporting time of flat support is of little significance.
2, patients with lumbar disc herniation need to be cautious when doing steel plate support, and it is best to consult a doctor.
