There is a saying in China: life is in motion! At the same time, there is also a saying that is widely circulated, that is: it is difficult to buy old and thin!
Yes, after people reach old age, due to poor physical fitness, physical strength is not as good as before, so many elderly people's range of activities has decreased, coupled with economic growth in recent years, better food, many people in old age, weight has begun to soar rapidly, becoming a variety of obesity-related diseases waiting for the target of attack, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases!
In recent years, with people's continuous attention and attention to health care and health care, more and more elderly people are aware of the harm caused by obesity and are full of interest in sports health.
In their opinion, exercise can not only kill excess time, help socialize, but also consume body fat and promote blood circulation, which is the best choice.
Especially the elderly who will use smart products, with the development of various pedometer mini programs, many elderly people have begun to play a fierce sport in order to get the so-called gifts and get the top spot in the step ranking.
But in fact, in the clinical view, although the elderly exercise has benefits, but also have many precautions, if the exercise is improper, not only can not play a health effect, but may cause joint damage and other unnecessary injuries, and may even cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease outbreaks.
So the question is, what are the precautions for the elderly to exercise?
1. Choose soothing exercise
As people continue to age, the symptoms of aging will gradually appear, which is not only the white hair on the top of the head and the wrinkles on the face, in fact, all organs in the body are aging, and the joints are no exception.
If the elderly exercise excessively, such as walking tens of thousands of steps a day, choosing strenuous sports, etc., it will cause joint wear and tear, and even various knee joint diseases will occur.
In addition, in mainland China, there are many patients with cerebral infarction, coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction who suddenly develop the disease after a violent mood swing or physical labor.
If the elderly have three highs, atherosclerosis and other problems, it is no longer suitable for strenuous physical activity, because strenuous exercise will cause the heart to pump blood burden, vascular spasm, there is a certain risk of cardiovascular disease.
Therefore, the elderly choose sports, should be based on the actual situation of their own body to do, in the clinical view, tai chi, walking, simple yoga, square dance, etc., are good aerobic exercise.
2. Choose sports equipment and environment
As mentioned above, the joint function of the elderly has declined, although appropriate physical activities can be carried out, but also should choose the right sports equipment, such as the choice of sports shoes specially designed for the elderly, pay attention to the breathability of wearing and shoes and socks, in the case of necessity, you can also prepare a variety of protective gear, especially can prepare a set of knee pads;
In addition, for the elderly who already have underlying diseases, such as cerebral infarction sequelae, more serious atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and other diseases. When carrying out outdoor activities, you should try to choose a place where people come and go, and avoid activities on the side of the road to avoid accidents.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that there is nothing wrong with the saying that life lies in movement, after all, exercise does have a lot of movement on the body.
However, this is not to over-exercise, and it is not to choose sports that are not suitable for their own physique. Instead, it is necessary to choose the appropriate sports according to the actual situation, and then pay attention to the combination of work and leisure on this basis, so that the body can really be healthy.
