What should I pay attention to when practicing yoga? 2 About the causes of injuries caused by blindly practicing yoga.

The background of the news story

According to a survey conducted by the Injury Risk Research Center in New South Wales, Australia,14 people who practice yoga have been injured. Many patients who were injured while practicing yoga were sent to the hospital. Most of them were injured in tendons and ligaments, but no deaths were heard.

Clinically, it is found that most of the patients injured in yoga practice are women around 40 years old. The stretching exercise of this muscle group must be enough. Injured patients may be anxious because of teachers or incorrect teaching methods. The students try their best to pull the muscles and ligaments of the whole body. If they are not careful, they are easy to get sports injuries.

Many movements of yoga are the extreme stretching of the body, so experts suggest that the practice process must be very gentle, avoid rushing for success, step by step, and step by step according to the actual situation.

Blind pursuit of difficult movements is easy to get hurt.

"When it comes to yoga teachers, many people think that the body must be particularly soft and can twist like a twist! In fact, the difficult movements people see are only the performance of a certain part of yoga posture. In order to demonstrate, the host often chooses some difficult and beautiful movements. " Zheng Xianhong, a yoga instructor training lecturer at the Oriental Yoga Culture Development Research Center, explained, "Many yoga teachers may make some beautiful movements by virtue of their natural physical conditions, and have systematically studied yoga theory for a short time, but they may not necessarily teach."

On the other hand, Chen Weilun, director of the Yoga Professional Committee of China International Health and Beauty Industry Development Federation, also pointed out that although yoga is a sport, it is not a competitive sport, and the purpose of practice is not to participate in competitions. Some practitioners, especially some older women, excessively and blindly ask for exceeding the limit and demanding excessive flexibility of the body, which is bound to bring certain harm to the body. For example, people over the age of 40 have formed bones, which will not reach such a level in a short time. If this requirement is too high, it may cause some harm. Because the purpose of practicing yoga is not to win the championship, but to achieve the purpose of exercising.

Improper yoga practice can easily damage joints, muscles and even nerves.

Nowadays, because there are more people practicing yoga, there are more physical injuries, such as ligament strain, cartilage tear, joint inflammation, neuralgia, achilles tendon tear, lumbar disc herniation and so on. Zheng Xianhong explained that "yoga sickness" refers to the damage to bones and muscles caused by improper practice methods.

Chen Weilun pointed out that the muscles in some special parts of the body are often stretched and stimulated, which leads to some problems such as muscle strain and soft tissue hyperplasia. But these are not big problems and will gradually recover. It caused direct and serious injuries at the sports scene, which we haven't found yet. Correct training methods can avoid these injuries.

Self-practice should be done according to one's ability.

Chen Weilun believes that many people now choose to teach themselves and practice yoga. If this method is not practiced properly, it will definitely do more harm to the body than under the guidance of a coach.

Yoga is not as simple as broadcast gymnastics. There are many postures in practicing yoga, some of which are difficult for some people to do. For example, scorpion style requires one leg to land, all other parts of the body are suspended, head held high, limbs extended; This posture needs a balanced force to support it. If there is no process of exercise and practice, you can't reach this level from the beginning. If you must do this, it will be very difficult and will do harm to your health.

When choosing their own tutoring materials, yoga practitioners should choose CDs or teaching materials written by famous yoga instructors or yogis. When choosing teaching materials and training yourself later, you must first understand the content of the teaching materials, practice according to your physical condition, and do what you can, and you must not blindly pursue the difficulty of the action.

For example, some people are fat and some movements are relatively small, so it is almost impossible to perform some difficult movements. Therefore, you must not let your movements exceed the limit.

It is most important to practice yoga step by step.

"I have seen a lot of training, and let students practice pranayama from the beginning. The correct way is to learn to breathe, learn to control breathing, and then practice pranayama. " Zheng Xianhong told reporters that there are some breath-holding actions and technical requirements in breath-adjusting. "Inhaled oxygen left in the body will produce carbon dioxide, and then exhaled. When you can't completely control your breathing function, you should practice breathing and holding your breath. It is very uncomfortable to blindly refer to the book about holding your breath for ten or twenty seconds. In fact, this is harmful to the body and will be poisoned. "

The most important thing is to practice yoga step by step, so what is the best difficulty of practice? Chen Weilun thinks that generally speaking, the body can bear it, and he thinks it can achieve the purpose of exercise. Going beyond the limit and blindly pursuing difficult movements is the biggest problem in practicing yoga.
