Advantages and disadvantages of handstand 1 What are the advantages of handstand?

1, improve intelligence and responsiveness.

People's intelligence level and reaction ability are determined by the brain, and handstand can increase the blood supply of the brain and the sense of superiority in various situations.

2, improve blood circulation

When walking upright, the direction of blood circulation changes from horizontal to vertical, which is more likely to cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. Moreover, in modern society, there are more and more sedentary people, which leads to poor blood circulation and easy dizziness. The blood circulation direction of people who stand upside down changes, which improves the blood supply to the brain and promotes the development of the brain.

3, relieve muscle fatigue

When standing upside down, the muscles stretch and relax, which helps to relieve the muscle tension of neck, shoulders, back and waist caused by gravity.

Step 4 increase muscle strength

When standing upside down, the whole body weight is supported by the upper limbs, and the deltoid, biceps brachii and triceps brachii can be well exercised, and the muscle strength can also be strengthened.

5, adjust the internal organs

When walking on one's own feet, one's heart and stomach move downward under the action of gravity. It causes many gastrointestinal and cardiac organs to droop, causes fat to deposit on the abdomen and thighs, and produces waist circumference and abdominal obesity. In the case of handstand, the internal organs get gravity and reverse action, which improves the drooping condition.

6. Relieve spinal discomfort

By using the natural traction and stretching effect of gravity on human body, the long-term oppressed spine can be relaxed, the growth and regeneration of intervertebral discs can be promoted, the elasticity can be restored, the flexibility of the spine can be enhanced, diseases caused by various spinal diseases can be prevented and cured, and the pain can be relieved.

7, you can lose weight and lose weight

To achieve the handstand standard, the legs and upper body need to be in a straight line. In this process, hands, waist and legs need to work together to maintain body balance. These eight processes can also consume waist and leg fat and effectively improve body shape.

8. Exercise balance ability

Handstand needs relative balance, so it is very effective to exercise balance ability. In addition, the balance ability is controlled by the cerebellum, so it can also play the role of exercising the cerebellum.

9, improve the body immunity

The lymphatic system is very important for the normal operation of the body. Lymphocytes are the "scavengers" of toxins in the body. They wander around the body and transport the toxins they encounter to lymph nodes and remove them. Muscle tension and gravity help lymphocytes move in the body. When the human body is upside down, lymphocytes will pass through some parts of the body (such as the lungs) more easily and quickly.

10, help the body relax.

Handstand has a good relaxing effect on the body. In handstand, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, which helps to calm the body and mind.

What are the disadvantages of handstand?

1, prone to dizziness and tinnitus.

Standing upside down for a long time, the brain is prone to congestion, dizziness and tinnitus, and severe cerebral hemorrhage may occur.

2, affecting vision

After standing upside down for a long time, the intraocular pressure will increase, which may lead to the decrease of binocular vision, and then visual distortion and visual field defect.

3, easy to get hurt

It is dangerous to stand upside down, and if you don't stand upside down before, you will easily fall off, your neck and head will be easily injured, and your hands will be easily sprained.

Advantages and disadvantages of handstand 2 How do beginners practice handstand support?

1, keep it short.

When you start doing handstands, you should choose to do handstands for less time, because you often feel uncomfortable when doing handstands, so you can't persist for too long at this time. In addition, it should be noted that it is best to put a cushion under your head at first, so that when your head is uncomfortable, you won't hit the floor and get hurt.

Step 2 increase strength

We must increase our strength when we stand upside down, because what we need most is arm strength when we stand upside down. Then pay attention, you can exercise push-ups or pull-ups to increase the strength of your arms. We can exercise regularly, which can increase our arm strength.

Step 3 stand upside down against the wall

When we have enough strength, we can start to do handstand against the wall, which is the last step before we exercise handstand. Because of the support of the wall, it is relatively easy for us to exercise, but it is also a good action to exercise our arms. Slowly, we can let less and less parts of the body touch the wall.

4. Inverted support

When we finish the first few movements, we can formally enter the handstand stage, because the above movements have already made us exercise our core strength, so we have a certain foundation. Especially if you can do handstand against the wall, you already have a certain foundation for handstand support.

How long is it appropriate to practice handstand?

Generally speaking, handstand is a step-by-step exercise process, and you can't stick to it for too long at once, otherwise your body will be too much to eat, leading to physical injury. At the beginning, we only need to hold on for 20 seconds. When our bodies get used to it, we feel relaxed and can stick to it, so we can extend the duration to 25 seconds, and then slowly increase it, increasing it by 5 seconds at a time. However, it should be noted that the duration should not be too long, otherwise it will easily cause insufficient blood supply to our lower limbs and cause harm to our health.
