2023-02-21
Taking advantage of the blooming spring flowers, outing in spring is a pleasure to build up the body and relax the body and mind. But how to ensure sports safety in the mountains? What are the differences between different people in spring outing? Orthopedic experts tell you! Spring sports can protect the spine. How to maintain health in spring? The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic says, "In the third month of spring, all things are proud." It should be "lying at night and getting up early, walking widely in the court". That is, we should take advantage of the season when everything is germinating and go outdoors to stretch and exercise. Professor Lin Dingkun, director of the Department of Orthopaedics of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the growth of all things in spring is also a good time to exercise and protect the spine. At this time, aerobic exercises that stretch the whole body, such as outing and hiking, are often carried out outdoors, which is not only the exercise of raising the sun, but also the traditional Chinese medicine concept of "nourishing the sun in spring and summer", and can promote the smooth flow of meridians, which is of great benefit to the maintenance of spine health. For young people who are in the growing period and white-collar workers who are prone to cervical and lumbar problems after sitting down for a long time all year round, the outing has more benefits. Slow climbing can fully exercise the muscles of the waist, back, buttocks and legs, increase the strength and stability of the core muscles, and also help prevent the occurrence of spinal problems. As an aerobic exercise, slow climbing can improve the heart and lung function. At the same time, everything recovers in spring and the climate is warm and moist. The dopamine produced by people after outdoor sports can relieve their body and mind and regulate their emotions. Two points of mountain sports remind you to go hiking in the mountains and how to ensure sports safety? Hou Yu, the chief orthopedic doctor of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, reminded that we should learn to choose the route and use the climbing stick correctly. First of all, remind the elderly. Due to the gradual weakening of muscle strength in the elderly, proper outdoor walking can help maintain muscle quality and ensure the coordination and stability of the body. However, attention should be paid to avoid too steep uphill and downhill sections, especially the steps with large drop, so as to avoid too much impact on the joints due to insufficient muscle strength, which is easy to cause damage. Try to walk on a flat, wide road with clear vision. For the general population, if they travel in the countryside in spring, they can carry hiking sticks in case of emergency. The upper limb strength can be used to assist when climbing, and it can also help cushion and reduce the impact on the knee joint when going downhill. It can also provide stability and reduce fatigue when the road conditions change. Use a pair of climbing sticks instead of a single one as far as possible. Only by opening the bow from the left to the right can we balance the borrowing force and will not cause damage due to compensation. Some people find it difficult to go uphill, and it is easy to "let go" when going downhill. In fact, research shows that there is a greater impact on the knee joint when going downhill. In addition, the muscle strength is insufficient due to the consumption of climbing, and it is more prone to fall. Therefore, when walking downhill, pay attention to slow down, and try to use climbing staff to buffer and maintain balance. If you encounter a large steep slope that is difficult to avoid, you can reduce your stride, walk in a zigzag shape, and reduce the slope through simple self-adjustment. Exercise to promote yang needs to prevent rheumatism. Spring is the time when the body's yang qi rises, and the spine is the place where the governor meridian and bladder meridian circulate, and also the place where the body's yang qi is concentrated. Therefore, special attention should be paid to keeping warm, preventing wind and "dampness". Hou Yu reminded that people who have the habit of morning sports or evening walking should pay attention to windproof in the morning and evening. It is suggested to adjust the exercise time to avoid windy periods. Especially for people with cervical problems in the past, they can wear napkins, or
