Aguero collapsed on the field due to heart problems.

On December 15, 33-year-old Argentine striker Aguero announced that he had retired due to heart health problems. Top athletes also suffer from heart problems, and for the average sports enthusiast, more caution is needed. How do you define the intensity of your exercise? How to exercise safely and healthily? What should I do if I have an emergency? This is all knowledge that needs to be mastered.

How is exercise intensity defined?

Exercise between 60% and 80% of the maximum safe heart rate

How do you define the intensity of your exercise? How to exercise safely and healthily? The Chongqing Institute of Sports Science gave relevant suggestions.

Wu Yue, director of the Group Research Office of the Chongqing Institute of Physical Fitness, said that if you regularly participate in physical exercise, it is recommended to carry out moderate or large-intensity exercise; if you do not often participate in physical exercise, but have certain fitness habits, it is recommended to carry out moderate-intensity exercise; if you rarely or never participate in physical exercise, you should start with small intensity exercise. However, the intensity of exercise should be gradual and adjusted in time according to its own situation.

Wu Yue introduced two common exercise intensity monitoring methods: First, if there is a wearable device, the heart rate can be monitored in real time. Then less than 100 times/ min is regarded as small intensity exercise, 100 times / min - 140 times / min is regarded as small intensity exercise, and more than 140 times / min is regarded as large intensity exercise. Second, if you feel shortness of breath during exercise, the intensity of the exercise is regarded as a large-intensity exercise; if you feel that the breathing is relatively short during the exercise, the intensity of the exercise is regarded as a medium-intensity exercise; if you feel easy breathing during the exercise, the intensity of the exercise is regarded as a low-intensity exercise.

Exercise enthusiasts can determine their exercise intensity by determining the maximum safe heart rate, calculated as follows:

Maximum safe exercise heart rate = 200 - age (times / minute), exercise, according to the maximum safe exercise heart rate intensity of 60% -80%, can be safe and effective.

For example, if someone is 40 years old, the maximum safe exercise heart rate is 200-40 = 160, and then according to the range of 60% to 80%, it is 90-128 beats / min.

In addition, sports enthusiasts should also pay attention to the balance of eating and moving, quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat less oil, less salt and less sugar, ensure adequate sleep, and cultivate good living habits.

What should I do if I have a cardiac arrest?

Aguero's situation is not unique, and athletes who seem to have excellent physical fitness can also experience heart problems.

Former All-Star center Aldridge, who currently plays for the Nets, chose to retire last season due to a heart rhythm problem. Fortunately, after detailed and regular check-ups, Aldridge received comeback permission from multiple doctors and returned to the NBA this season.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at the European Cup.

The most recent and influential example is the European Championship in June this year. In the first round of the European Championship Group B match between Denmark and Finland, Danish player Eriksen suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest in the 43rd minute of the first half, and the team doctor and the on-site medical staff quickly entered the field for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and after 14 minutes of emergency treatment, Eriksen had spontaneous breathing and was then taken to the hospital, after which Eriksen was saved. Currently, Erikson is undergoing low-intensity recovery training accompanied by a doctor, and his plan is to make a comeback in the future.

It took only 8 seconds from Erickson's fall to the ground to the arrival of the team doctor, and it can be said that the timely reflection and perfect first aid from teammates to medical staff helped Eriksen escape the ghost gate.

Once cardiac arrest occurs, if the immediate and timely rescue and resuscitation can not be carried out immediately and in time, it will cause irreversible damage to the patient's brain and other important human organ tissues after 4 to 6 minutes, so cardiopulmonary resuscitation after cardiac arrest must be carried out immediately on the spot. So in the game or ordinary life, there is a cardiac arrest around, how should ordinary citizens deal with it?

Here's the simplest way: if someone goes to the end, first of all, slaps the other person's shoulders, and if the other person doesn't respond, and there are no ups and downs in the chest and abdomen, and there is no breathing, then CPR is needed. At this time, the public only needs to do one action: to cross their hands and quickly and uninterruptedly press the middle of the chest. At the same time, call the emergency number in a timely manner.
