Not only is the strength strong, the appearance and personal charm of the athletes of this Winter Olympics are also quite out of the circle, dominating the screen hot search.
For example, at only 18 years old, she has brilliant achievements such as "Winter Olympic Gold Medal", "Stanford School Bully", "Net Worth or Over 100 Million", and her life is as wonderful as the opening of the beautiful genius girl Gu Ailing:
And "the face is like jade, the posture is like pine, the wings are like a shock, and the dragon is like a dragon", so that the ice and snow are also boiling for the noble prince Yusheng knots:

(You can always trust the Chinese short track speed skating team!) ）
Looking at the snowflakes flying on the Winter Olympic field and the pulsating figures, do you also want to have a refreshing ice and snow sports?
Although ice and snow sports are highly ornamental, the risk factor is not low. While enjoying the fun of sports, it is necessary to do the right protection.
After all, ice and snow sports belong to the category of extreme sports, and it is easy to cause serious sports injuries if you are not careful.
Moreover, skiing is cool for a while, after skiing "snow mirror face", outdoor skiing in winter is also prone to tanning sunburn, dry cracks and frostbite and other skin problems.
Thinking of this Winter Olympics, it is estimated that many small partners will plant grass to try skiing and skating, and the intimate Benhua has sorted out a guide to ice and snow sports protection for everyone, remember to code the collection Oh!
The possible impacts of snow sports
Tanning sunburn
The cold of winter makes it easy to overlook the sun protection. But in fact, compared to summer, the ozone layer is thinner in winter, and ultraviolet rays are more likely to reach the earth's surface.
Summer is dominated by UVB (medium wave ultraviolet light), while winter is dominated by UVA (long wave ultraviolet light), which is more penetrating and easier to tan.
In addition, the snow can reflect up to 90% of ultraviolet rays (bare ground without snow is generally below 25%), coupled with the snow field is empty, and the ultraviolet rays reflected by the snow are "360 ° all-round attack" on you, which is very easy to sunburn.
Dry skin
In winter, the temperature decreases, the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands decreases, and the integrity of the sebaceous membrane is easily destroyed.
The sebaceous membrane is damaged, the moisture inside the skin is evaporated and lost at an accelerated rate, and the moisture content of the skin will decrease. If the water content of the stratum corneum is reduced to less than 10%, the skin will appear dry and desquamed.
frostbite
Under cold stimulation, the local arterioles of the skin convulsively contract, and the blood flow is blocked, which easily causes damage to tissue cells and forms purple-red edematous erythema. Frostbite during exercise is common at the ends of the hands and feet, the tip of the nose, and the ears.
niphablepsia
During daytime activities such as alpine glaciers, snow, deserts, and sea surfaces, people's eyes will be damaged by ultraviolet rays in the absence of protective measures and exposure, commonly known as snow blindness.
Modern medicine calls snow blindness electro-optic ophthalmia, which is characterized by red and swollen eyelids, conjunctival congestion and edema, severe foreign body sensation and pain, and symptoms such as photophobia, lacrimation, and blurred vision.
Long-term unprotected exposure to ultraviolet light can lead to temporary blindness, so it is often mistaken for "blindness".

Sports injuries
A study of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, showed that 12% of athletes were injured at least once during the Winter Olympics.
In ice and snow sports, falls, bumps and fractures are more common sports injuries.
For example, in the "Blood Phantom" incident in 2014, Yusheng Yuxian accidentally collided with the mainland player Yan Han at high speed during training, and was injured in many places such as his forehead and chin, instantly staining the ice surface with blood...
How to do personal protection before ice and snow sports
Outdoor soft and hard sunscreen: sunscreen & face shield
You can choose to apply and reapply SPF50+ sunscreen with good moisturizing effect in time (chemical sunscreen needs to be applied 10-20 minutes before leaving the house).
However, in the face of high-intensity ultraviolet rays in the snow field, the best sun protection is full-face hard sunscreen, you can wear a mask / face pad to resist the strong ultraviolet rays of the snow field and the irritation of the cold wind on the skin.
A headscarf in the helmet
Exercise inevitably requires sweating, but the helmet is not breathable, and it is easy to let sweat impregnation cause skin problems. You can choose to wear a sweat-absorbing bandana in your helmet, and clean and change your bandana and clothes in time after the exercise.
Highly moisturizing skincare
Wind and snow can easily dry and damage the skin, and you can apply a highly moisturizing repair cream before and after skiing, and you can also apply moisturizing products such as vaseline to lips and ears that are easily overlooked.
However, if the climate is dry, don't apply masks and sprays every day, and applying more may cause excessive hydration of the skin and aggravate the damage to the barrier.
Warming supplies
In the ice and snow, it is necessary to do a good job of warm measures, wearing waterproof ski clothes and ski gloves, windproof stickers, warm baby and other warm supplies, which can prevent skin frostbite, frostbite, and affect the normal sports and competition process.
Snow goggles & goggles
Wearing professional UV-resistant snow glasses during exercise (not easily removed even on cloudy days) can prevent snow blindness and protect the eyes and skin around the eyes.
Helmets and full-body protective gear protect the head, face, neck, knees and the whole body, and race quickly through the snow and ice without injury.
Beginners trying ice and snow sports need to pay attention
Most ice and snow sports are difficult and dangerous, and blind attempts are prone to accidental injuries.
In order to avoid "the end of skating is orthopedics", we must understand the following points before exercising.
Adaptive training
Many snow sports have high requirements for balance ability. Students can do some adaptation training on land for balance and strength posture before trying.
Warm up and protect yourself
Be sure to warm up before exercising, otherwise you will be more likely to have sports injuries such as strains. At the same time, it is necessary to keep warm, maintain sufficient physical strength, and do the necessary protection, especially the head and neck, elbow joints, knees, ankles and other parts.
Learn to "Fall Right"
Beginners generally fall frequently, and it is important to learn the "correct posture" of falling. Depending on the project, try to fall forward or on both sides according to the instructions of the coach to avoid falling on the back of the head, and at the same time get up as soon as possible after falling to rest, so as not to cause secondary injuries if the person behind cannot brake.
Follow the venue schedule
Follow the arrangement of the venue instructor, do not arbitrarily change the route or track, and do not chase and play on the field.
Step by step, do what you can
Seeing the athletes' posture on the field, it is easy to get hot and have the idea of "I want to learn this too". Beginners should not try to master the handsome and difficult moves at once, starting with the most beginner track.

In addition, don't be reckless. Professional athletes will insist on bringing injuries to the battlefield for the honor of the game, but we ordinary people do not have to work so hard.
When injured, exercise is suspended, treated in time and treated with medical treatment. You can also take a break every 15-30 minutes to recover.
In fact, the charm of sports lies in constantly surpassing, breaking through and overcoming themselves.
Even if the effort is not rewarded, even if you fall down again and again, even if you are no longer energetic as you get older, you must go forward and fight until the last moment, until the last kiss on the ice. As long as you go all out, you will no longer regret and regret.

With the lyrics of the song "Lonely Warrior", I would like to pay tribute to every athlete who strives hard for the country, and the ordinary but unyielding us:
War? Battle!
In the humblest of dreams
To the whimpering and roaring of the night
Who says that standing in the light is a hero
I hope that at the age of 50, I can stick to my dreams like "skating grandma"
