Exercise is a physical activity, but there are also many tragedies caused by improper exercise. Recently, a young man died suddenly after playing basketball, which aroused great concern in society.

I. What happened?

The man died suddenly while playing basketball outdoors, and the rescue was invalid. Medical staff said that this situation is very common in summer, especially when the weather is hot, and the age of onset is not limited to the elderly. The main reason is a sudden heart attack.

Afterwards, the medical staff said that it is very important to choose the right time to exercise because of the frequent high temperatures in summer. We must master all kinds of common sense every day to avoid this tragedy.

Second, the information that needs attention

This tragedy has a lot of information worthy of our attention: 1, the parties are young and healthy, playing basketball is a daily habit, and there is no basic disease at ordinary times. 2. According to the reaction of other people in the stadium at that time, the party concerned drank ice water because the weather was too hot.

This information also gives us a lot of enlightenment: in high temperature weather, high-intensity exercise will cause a great burden on the heart itself. Drinking ice water immediately after stopping exercise will lead to sudden contraction of blood vessels, insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, and direct sudden death. Not only drinking cold water, but also directly sitting down or taking a bath after strenuous exercise is taboo.

This is also the reason why athletes still choose jogging after rushing to the finish line in sports competitions, that is, let their hearts gradually adapt to the pressure. After the school long-distance running, the teacher will also ask the students not to sit down immediately, but to get up and take a walk. The human body is not a machine, and starting or stopping is a gradual process.

Third, effective measures to avoid sudden death

1, Moderate warm-up before exercise: Warm-up is a step-by-step process, which makes the body joints and heart adapt gradually.

2. Make a reasonable exercise intensity: Everyone's physique is different, so choose the exercise intensity suitable for your physique to avoid excessive heart pressure.

3. Protect yourself after exercise: don't cool down immediately after stopping exercise. If you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately.

When applied to our daily life, don't drink cold drinks immediately after going home, or directly enter the air-conditioned room from a hot place, which will bring great pressure and load to the heart.
