With the Beijing Winter Olympics, the ice and snow sports boom has also continued to heat up in China. However, as a stimulating and challenging sport, ice and snow sports have certain dangers. How can you experience the joy of ice and snow sports safely and healthily?
【Do a good job of protection and warm-up to minimize the risk of exercise】
The Winter Olympics have allowed us to see the snow and ice athletes surpass themselves again and again. But behind the results, in fact, it is hard training again and again, and even there are injuries that ordinary people can't stand. Wu Dajing, a well-known athlete, previously said that he "has a pair of very ugly feet" when participating in a show, which made countless netizens feel sad. Snow sports are more prone to sports damage than summer sports.
Zhu Yongliang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of Nanjing Central Hospital, said: "The nature of the movement of ice and snow is very fast and the impact intensity is very large. Normal people have not undergone professional training, the coordination of the body, professional strength is not enough to achieve the state of exercise to go to ice and snow sports is very easy to be injured, resulting in multiple injuries or some compound injuries, mostly based on orthopedic injuries. ”
Recently, the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang has treated a number of patients with ski fractures during the Spring Festival, and even some people have slipped and fallen into fractures just after entering the gate of the ski resort because of insufficient preparation. As an ordinary citizen who wants to participate in ice and snow sports, what should I do to prepare?
Zhu Yongliang said: "Before participating in ice and snow activities, you should train your muscles and body coordination in advance. Bring a variety of protective gear, such as helmets, goggles, and various protective gear for knees, elbows, and shoulders. Usually 10 minutes of normal physical activity warm-up is enough, we recommend 15 to 20 minutes before doing ice and snow sports. ”
【Knee and elbow joints are easy to damage, do not move the injured parts】
In addition to the common knee injuries, other common ski injuries are the wrist and ankle joints. For starters, it's easy to instinctively prop your hands on the ground or kneel when you slip and fall. Doctors remind that once you fall, if the injured part is in severe pain, stop the exercise immediately and seek help from the people around you, stay away from the slide, and try not to move the injured part.
