There are many benefits for the body
As a "cold sport" that has become more and more popular in recent years, skating has been loved by many people.
Skating is a sport that combines strength, endurance, speed, coordination, flexibility, flexibility, balance, beauty and stability. Skating can not only enhance the body's balance, coordination and flexibility, but also enhance people's heart and lung function and improve aerobic exercise ability.
Graceful figure skating, fast and non-stop spinning and jumping, is a great exercise for the nervous system and vestibular analyzer. The vestibular analyzer of the ear is exercised during rotation and jumping, which significantly strengthens the body's ability to balance. Teenagers practicing skating can stimulate the epiphysis of the bones of the lower limbs and promote the growth of the bones of the lower limbs.
There are many benefits to practicing skating regularly. Skating has a stimulating effect on both cerebral hemispheres, and skating in the opposite direction has great benefits for the right brain. Skating can not only enhance the function of the central nervous system, circulatory system, respiratory system and promote the normal development of various parts of the body, but also enhance cold resistance and prevent colds and other diseases.
Precautions to understand
Do a good job of warm-up activities Before skating, do a good job of warm-up activities, especially the joints and ligaments of the wrists and lower limbs, and fully move.
Wear a hat and gloves when skating with protective equipment, and pay attention to keeping warm. At the same time, it is necessary to wear some protective equipment, such as special wrist pads, elbow pads and knee pads.
Do not bring hard objects, such as keys, mobile phones, etc., when skating with hard objects, so as not to hurt yourself when you fall.
Skating counterclockwise On indoor ice rinks, skating is in a counterclockwise direction. After beginners enter the venue, pay attention to being consistent with everyone's sliding direction and not practicing in the opposite direction. At first, you can slowly grope against the railings around you, or let the people who can skate with you. The central area of the ice rink is often where the masters gather, and if the novice arrives in the central area, the possibility of being knocked down or having an accident increases.
Avoid dangerous actions Avoid making dangerous actions or obstructing others' actions, such as sliding with the handle, scurrying across, chasing and fighting, suddenly stopping, etc., which hinder others and are dangerous. In particular, when passing through the entrances and exits of the ice rink, pay attention to whether there are people around you to prevent yourself from bumping into or stepping on others.
When choosing the right skates, the skate number must be suitable for the person, neither too large nor too small. When trying on shoes, you should loosen all the laces, and then tighten them in turn, be sure to make sure that the number is appropriate to choose.
Dress to facilitate sports Due to fear of cold or fear of falling, beginners often wear too much and too thick, which will affect the movement, therefore, skating dress should be easy to exercise. In fact, skating is also a more physically demanding sport, so you don't have to worry about standing on the ice and getting cold.
Check the ice knife to check whether the ice knife is firmly connected to the shoe, whether the lace is strong, whether the inner and outer edges of the ice knife are sharp, and then check whether the fixed screws are tightened. In addition, before skating, check the condition of the field to see if it is smooth, and avoid those bumps when skating.
Pay attention to rest Because the lower limbs and ankles are the most difficult when skating, it is not easy to maintain balance when tired, and it is easy to fall and ankle injuries. You can take a break every 15 to 30 minutes. When resting, the laces of the skates should be untied and the feet should be moved. Because the general skates are relatively tight, it is not conducive to blood circulation, if the time is too long, the feet are prone to frostbite.
Fall has the correct posture
Skating is a relatively high-speed sport, and there may be damage to bone structures and /or ligament structures when falling, so there are the following precautions about falling:
First, when falling, you should try to make the hip side to the side of the ground, because falling to the side of the ground, the chance of serious injury to the body is relatively small. Falling to the ground in front, the upper limbs are easy to subconsciously prop up the ground, which is easy to cause fractures and (or) ligament injuries; while falling backwards is prone to injuring the lower back and head, which is relatively more dangerous.
Second, learn to protect yourself when you fall. When you have to fall backwards, you should take the initiative to bend your knees and squat, lower the center of gravity, try to let the hips sit down first, and pay attention to protecting the tailbone, while bowing your head to avoid the head falling backwards.
