Jogging, yoga, swimming, cycling... A variety of fitness exercise methods have gradually become a part of everyone's life. Life is in motion, and movement requires science. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to their own health. Not long ago, the State Council issued the "National Fitness Plan (2021-2025)", which mentioned that the people's enthusiasm for promoting health through fitness is increasing, and the proportion of people who regularly participate in physical exercise has reached 37.2%.
Are these exercises really for everyone? Zheng Jiang, director of the Sports Medicine Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Xi'an Red Cross Hospital, reminded that improper fitness will increase the risk of sports injuries.
During the summer vacation, the amount of time teenagers spend outdoors increases greatly. In various hospitals in Xi'an, the reporter noticed that the number of patients with sports injuries due to violent collisions or improper exercise methods increased significantly. Especially in the 14th Games, the concept of national fitness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the masses' concept of sports and health has undergone tremendous changes, and more and more people have begun to love sports and take the initiative to participate in it, but the damage caused by improper exercise methods has also followed.
"Every second week after the marathon, there is a sharp increase in the number of patients in our clinic, and most of the patients can't stand to come to the clinic because of the leg pain after the race." Zheng Jiang told reporters, "Most patients usually only run two or three kilometers when exercising, and when running a marathon, due to the long distance and large amount of exercise, it is easy to cause damage to the body." First of all, not everyone is suitable for sports, and there is no sport that can suit everyone. Secondly, any exercise must follow the law of human physiological movement, pay attention to step by step, according to the ability, safe exercise should always be put first. Irregular blind exercise not only does not play a role in strengthening the body, but will bring sports injuries, which is inconsistent with our original intention of exercise. ”
The Healthy China Initiative (2019-2030) mentions that scientific physical activity can prevent diseases, delight the body and mind, and promote health. Before exercising, it is necessary to understand the medical history and family medical history, assess the physical condition, encourage the development of exercise programs under the guidance of family doctors or professionals, and choose the exercise style, intensity and amount of exercise that suits you to reduce the risk of exercise. "Some elderly people have arthritis, they have problems with their joints, they are inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, and they have to go hiking with others on weekends, and as a result, the joint pain symptoms worsen, and they come to the doctor." These situations are very common, it is recommended that you do not follow the trend of sports, you should look for a suitable way of exercising. Zheng Jiang said.
With the acceleration of the pace of life, many office workers use weekends to concentrate on fitness to make up for the lack of exercise on weekdays. But most of them sit in the office during the week, basically no exercise, the body has actually adapted to this state, the weekend suddenly took a lot of time to concentrate on exercise, breaking the physiological and body balance that has been formed, it is easy to cause damage to body tissues, such as soft tissue injuries, muscle strains and so on. Zheng Jiang pointed out that there is plenty of time on weekends, but it is not suitable for suddenly arranging sports and fitness programs. This type of exercise is not only not conducive to health, but also easy to cause sports injuries.
In the diagnosis and treatment, Zheng Jiang noticed that patients with injuries caused by daily exercise were very common. Young people who love fitness, the part of the problem is generally ankle joint, shoulder periphery, and waist muscle strain; middle-aged and elderly people suddenly follow the trend to learn dance, yoga, their common problem is joint and waist damage; some children in the balance bike, roller skating, due to inadequate protective measures, hit the jaw, elbow caused by fractures are also common.
Hurt your knee when you play, you lose your foot when you walk... These small ailments, which seem to be very common, are actually the best choice to go to regular hospitals for professional treatment. Not long ago, Xiao Li, a 17-year-old high school student, accidentally sprained his knee while playing basketball at school, and after two days of pain relief, he did not go to the hospital. When he played basketball again, his knee was injured again, the swelling was noticeable, and his daily walking was restricted, and then he went to the hospital for treatment. "Usually, after a sports injury occurs, the exercise should be stopped immediately and emergency treatment should be carried out by means of ice packing." There are many patients like this who have sports injuries, but do not see the doctor in time, we still recommend going to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. For example, acute injuries of soft tissues, if the acute period recovery is not good, as long as the activity increases in the future, it is easy to repeat. In addition, some sports injuries may not have obvious symptoms in the short term, but adolescents are in a period of physical development, and if they do not see a doctor in time, they may bring more serious or even irreversible harm. Zheng Jiang said.
The purpose of exercise is to be healthier, and it is necessary to guard against sports risks and sports injuries. People of all ages and people with various health conditions should formulate appropriate exercise programs according to the intensity and duration of exercise they adapt to. "After everyone chooses the exercise that suits them, they also need to correctly choose the sports venue and equipment, fully warm up before the exercise, carry out the exercise according to the requirements, try to achieve the movement standard, organize the exercise after the exercise, and the diseased population should carry out sports activities under the guidance of the doctor." Zheng Jiang said.
