1, Uncle died suddenly in the square dance.
On the evening of the 3rd, in Shi Ming Garden, Dongguan, Fengxian County, a man suddenly fell to the ground and fainted while dancing.

A man and a woman take turns to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation for men until 120 ambulance arrives. Regrettably, when the 120 ambulance arrived, the man had no vital signs.
In life, sudden death happens from time to time, and doctors remind everyone to pay attention to prevention. People with a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases do not recommend strenuous exercise.
According to reports, there are many specific reasons for sudden death, of which sudden cardiac death accounts for about 80%. The doctor reminded the public to go to the hospital for medical treatment in time to eliminate the hidden danger of heart disease. It is not recommended for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, arrhythmia and hypertension to do strenuous exercise.
Doctors also said that in recent years, the number of patients with knee joint injuries has increased significantly, and most of these patients have the habit of "walking fast".
Now many citizens will exercise by brushing "steps". The doctor reminded that brisk walking is a fitness method, but we must pay attention to the method. Wrong stride can lead to joint injury.
2. Matters needing attention in square dance
1, a selection of square dances
Don't be too blind when choosing square dance, you should know your physical condition and what kind of dance is suitable for you, and don't blindly follow suit. Generally speaking, it is advisable to start with simple actions, and don't rush for success. As long as you "move", you will have a fitness effect.
It is best for the elderly to measure their blood pressure and pulse. Even if their blood pressure is within the normal range, they should avoid any dance that is difficult or lasts for more than 2 hours, such as street dance and disco.
Step 2 choose the time
Don't be too early in the morning, it is better for the sun to come out. 4 ~ 6 pm is better; Stay for half an hour after dinner in the evening to 1 hour. The total time of square dance should not exceed 2 hours. It's best to do a simple warm-up exercise for 5 to 10 minutes before dancing, instead of exercising all the time, take a proper rest for 5 to 20 minutes. It is advisable to sweat lightly every time you dance.
You shouldn't eat a lot 30 minutes before dancing, but you shouldn't eat on an empty stomach either. Fasting is easy to cause hypoglycemia, leading to weakness, dizziness and other discomfort. Do not do strenuous exercise within two hours before going to bed, especially for the elderly. Because of the early bedtime, excessive exercise before going to bed can easily lead to difficulty in falling asleep, or fatigue, thus reducing the quality of sleep.
Step 3 do your best
The elderly should not dance violently because the cardiovascular elasticity of middle-aged and elderly people is poor. If they dance violently for a long time, it will easily lead to shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the fact that when the elderly dance, they should avoid sudden and substantial neck twisting and waist twisting to prevent falls and joint and muscle injuries. For the "novice" who just started dancing, we should start learning from relatively simple movements. If we find that our feet are uncomfortable, we should suspend our activities in time.
Many old people are very keen on dancing. Rain or shine, they should exercise every day. In fact, exercising five days a week can achieve the effect of fitness. In addition, the square dance venue will generally concentrate a lot of people, and the air circulation is poor, which will have an impact on the respiratory system for a long time. On days with poor air quality such as smog, it is recommended to exercise properly at home.
Step 4 dress loosely
Dancing in shoes with hard soles or heels is easy to slip and sprain. This kind of shoes is easy to cause joint strain and other adverse reactions when worn for a long time. It is recommended to wear flat cotton shoes or thicker sneakers. When dressing, it is best to bring an extra coat and put it on in time after exercise to prevent you from catching cold after sweating. It is easy to sweat and thirst when dancing, but remember not to take off your clothes just because you feel hot, so as not to catch a cold.
Step 5 choose the right place
Many communities have fixed square dance training places, so it is better to attend nearby. There is no need to "travel long distances" across communities, but there is a lot of dust and automobile exhaust (including various carcinogens) in the driveway.
The cement or tile floor on the roadside or in the park is too hard, which may bring some damage to the joints and is not suitable for sports venues; It is best to choose grass or soft sand with broad vision and fresh air, and try to avoid the tuyere.
6. When can't I dance square dance?
Elderly people suffering from acute diseases (such as acute gastroenteritis, acute tracheitis, acute hepatitis, acute myocarditis, cold and fever) or during the acute attack of chronic diseases should suspend their activities.
Elderly people with poor blood pressure and heart condition should also choose and arrange the intensity and time of activities to avoid accidents.
Although square dancing is good for your health, you should also know your physical condition. If you are not suitable for square dancing, then don't dance. Moreover, if you feel unwell when dancing square dance, you need to stop it in time to avoid doing great harm to your body. It is very important to master the correct method of square dance!
