The fitness equipment in the community is used well for fitness, but if it is not used properly, it will often become "injury to the body". Therefore, while enjoying the convenience brought by the community fitness equipment, people must master the essentials of movements and do what they can, and they must clearly understand their physical condition before exercising.

The fitness equipment in the community is used well for fitness, but if it is not used properly, it will often become "injury to the body". Therefore, while enjoying the convenience brought by the community fitness equipment, people must master the essentials of movements and do what they can, and they must clearly understand their physical condition before exercising.

Mr. Li injured his waist during his "space walk"

The 60-year-old teacher Li was diagnosed with a lumbar disc herniation last month. The doctor advised her to do more stretching and stretching exercises to relieve her symptoms. The doctor's suggestion made Mr. Li first think of the colorful fitness equipment in the community garden. However, to Mr. Li's surprise, something happened the first time she had close contact with these "beautiful guys" - Mr. Li strained her waist while playing the spacewalk.

Mr. Li said that he had seen others play a spacewalk before, and he knew that he stepped on the pedals with his legs, held a bar in his hand, and then swayed his legs one after the other. However, after exercising in this way for a few minutes, Mr. Li felt that the amount of exercise seemed to be too small, so he had a whim and put his legs together and swayed forward and backward at the same time. "After about a dozen swings, I started to feel a lot of pain in my lower back, as if my muscles were being pulled tightly." Teacher Li said that she did not dare to do it any more, and hurried to the hospital the next day. The doctor who consulted said that Mr. Li's lumbar muscle was strained, and at least 2 weeks of physical therapy was needed to recover.

Judging from the hospital's outpatient statistics, since some communities and communities have installed these fitness equipment, many hospitals have successively accepted patients who were injured due to improper use of these fitness equipment. Most of these patients are middle-aged and elderly people. The minor injuries are strained muscles or tendons, and serious injuries may even damage the joints or cause intervertebral disc herniation.

Community fitness equipment taboos vary from person to person

Each of the fitness equipment in the community has its own specific exercise. In general, playing properly can increase muscle strength and flexibility, enhance balance, and improve cardiopulmonary function and flexibility. However, each fitness equipment has "restricted areas" for some specific groups of people. When people play, they should pay attention to avoid these "dangerous areas" and choose the items that are suitable for them.

The spacewalker should not swing too much

Spacewalkers are the most popular fitness equipment. It's popular because many people think it's "easy to play", "not too hard" and "fun tossing". In fact, the spacewalker is very easy to strain the psoas muscle, like Mr. Li, and the reason for the injury is that the swing range is not well controlled. The muscles of the elderly lose water due to aging, their flexibility is poor, and their range of activities is limited. In layman's terms, their muscles are harder. Therefore, if the legs swing too much and the speed is too fast, it is easy to strain the muscles around the spine. Therefore, it is better for the elderly to swing their legs at about 45 degrees when doing "space walks", and the frequency is preferably 3 to 4 seconds each time.

Elderly people with osteomalacia of the hip should not play with pedals

This kind of equipment is mainly used to exercise the strength of the lower limbs and waist, but it is not suitable for the elderly who suffer from hip osteomalacia. The so-called osteomalacia of the hip is characterized by frequent pain under the knee and weakness when going up and down stairs. For such an elderly person, the weight-bearing function of the hip joint is not good. If the power pedal is used again, the extensor muscles of the knee may be damaged, thereby aggravating the original symptoms.

Disc herniation, don't play the cycling machine

The cycling machine relies on the strength of the hands and feet to do up and down movements, so as to stretch the whole body to achieve the purpose of moving the joints of various parts of the body. It stands to reason that this exercise is very suitable for those who are often at their desks and have strained neck and psoas muscles. However, if the disease has developed to a herniated intervertebral disc, do not use this type of equipment, because if there is already a herniated disc, the spine will definitely not be able to withstand the "tossing" of the riding machine.

To play with a retractor, try pull-ups first

The function of the upper limb traction device is similar to that of going to the hospital for traction treatment, which is good for stretching muscles and preventing intervertebral disc herniation. However, it is recommended that the elderly with insufficient hand strength should not do this exercise. To test your hand strength, you can do pull-ups as the standard. If you can't even do pull-ups for an old man, it's better to choose other stretching exercises.

In addition, many elderly people like to use leg presses to exercise their flexibility, but it is best not to lift the leg more than the shoulder joint, otherwise it will easily strain the ligaments and muscles of the hip joint.

The rotation range of the waist twister should not exceed 180 degrees

Pay attention to controlling the range of twisting, the speed should be slow, and the movement should be gentle, otherwise there is also the danger of straining the psoas muscle. The amplitude of the twist should not exceed 180 degrees, and the frequency should be controlled within 3 to 4 seconds to complete one movement.

Tips for proper exercise

Master the amount of exercise: 1 to 2 times a day, 30 to 40 minutes each time, exercise 3 to 6 times a week. During exercise, the pulse should not exceed 120 beats per minute.

Warm up before exercising: Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes before exercising with equipment, exercise your joints first, or jog.

Don’t stand still immediately after exercise: the capillaries dilate after exercise. If you stop immediately, the blood at the far end of the body’s blood vessels will be difficult to return to the heart, and discomfort such as chest tightness and palpitations will occur. It is best to do some finishing exercises, such as walking slowly for a few minutes stop.
