What are the benefits of crawling and exercising?
Crawling originated from Hua Tuo's Five Birds Play, aiming to achieve the purpose of fitness by imitating the crawling movements of animals. Crawling can disperse the weight of the whole body to the limbs, thus reducing the load of all parts of the body, especially the lumbar spine, so it has certain curative effect on preventing and treating lumbar spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain and spinal diseases. In addition, crawling is a coordinated activity of the whole body, so that some muscles that are usually used less can be exercised, which can strengthen the muscles, ligaments and bones of the whole body.
① Crawling can reduce the load of lumbar spine and exercise lumbar muscles, which has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of lumbar spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain and various neck, shoulder and spine diseases.
② When crawling, the position of the heart and head is lowered, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of the whole body and brain and has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
③ Crawling needs the participation of the vestibular balance system of the brain to maintain the balance of the body, so that the coordination of the body can be exercised and strengthened.
The correct practice method of crawling:
(1) When crawling, keep your hands in front of your shoulders to avoid damaging metacarpals and wrist joints.
② Try to do it on a soft mat to avoid damaging the knee joint.
(3) To control the crawling speed and time, the crawling time should not be too long, otherwise it will damage the knee.
Can crawling treat hemorrhoids?
Finally, the human body becomes an upright posture instead of a crawling posture, which is a natural evolutionary process of biological evolution. Various organizational structures of the exercise system are suitable for upright position. If hemorrhoid is forcibly restored to the crawling position, even if it is cured, it may seriously damage the wrist, knee joint and ankle joint, and make the muscles degenerate, which is definitely not worth the loss.
Crawling treatment of hemorrhoids has no scientific basis and is not recommended. There is a tissue called anal pad at the end of human rectum, which is related to the closing function of anus. The increase of pelvic pressure will gradually lead to subcutaneous varicose veins around anal canal at the end of rectum. Anal tissue degeneration, elastic fiber rupture, varicose veins moving down, causing sudden bleeding during defecation. This is hemorrhoids. There are many factors that induce hemorrhoids, such as forced defecation, deterioration of blood vessel wall in the elderly, chronic cough, pregnant women giving birth, eating spicy food and drinking alcohol.
Sedentary is only one factor that may cause hemorrhoids, but it does not mean that it can be cured by changing from upright to crawling every day. Everyone should exercise regularly and don't keep a static posture for a long time. If you want to use climbing to relieve pelvic pressure, it is best to lie on the bed or lie flat. The folk saying of "ten men and nine hemorrhoids" and "ten women and ten hemorrhoids" is actually exaggerated. About 35% of hemorrhoid patients have symptoms, and surgery is only needed if the degree is above ⅲ. Hemorrhoids have no pain, discomfort, itching, swelling and other symptoms, and do not need special treatment.
Matters needing attention in crawling practice
1. Pay attention to the preparation activities before crawling. Run with bare hands or warm-up for 5-8 minutes and walk 40-50 meters; After exercise, you should do finishing activities, massage yourself or relax for 3-5 minutes, and walk slowly for 50 meters.
2. It should be done indoors with air circulation and carpet or outdoors with flat lawn (or on the beach). Employees should wear light clothes and shoes and necessary protective equipment. For example, pay attention to knee pads and gloves when crawling on hard ground. Clean up the site and pay attention to safety.
3. The amount of exercise should vary from person to person and increase gradually. Do a good job in fitness monitoring and measure your pulse before and after exercise. It is advisable to increase the heart rate 10-20 beats/min after 5- 10 minutes than at rest.
4. Don't climb too fast. When you want to stand up, remember not to stand up at once. You should change from crawling to sitting, and stand up slowly, so as not to suddenly stand up and cause the brain to faint from lack of oxygen.
People with serious heart disease, high blood pressure and eye diseases, people with inflammation, gangrene, infection and purulent diseases in hands, feet and knees, and people with unhealed wounds after surgery are not suitable for this sport.
6. Pay attention to prevent upper limb injury. The function of human upper limbs to support the body's gravity has been greatly degraded. If people use their hands to support gravity when crawling on the ground, it will increase the burden on wrists and arms, especially the load-bearing capacity of five fingers and wrists, which will cause extra pressure on knuckles, wrist tendons and ligaments. Improper exercise will cause pathological changes in joints such as fingers and wrists, causing strain and pain, or suffering from stenosing tenosynovitis of radial styloid process. Therefore, training should be gradual to prevent upper limb injury.
