And with the progress of society, people are paying more and more attention to their own health, once a lot of exercise is just a walk after dinner, playing football on weekends or playing shuttlecock downstairs. But these young people are not very interested, basically belong to the elderly patent. Especially in the city subject to objective conditions, more and more cars on the roadside, the air is getting worse. More unsuitable for outdoor exercise activities, so the gym for those young people who need to exercise is the best place. Especially in recent years, fitness has become popular and more people are going to the gym, and with that comes more and more problems. According to a study by the University of Arkansas, fitness-related injuries have increased by 35% in recent years. Fitness is not something that happens overnight, but many people just want to get leaner and gain muscle faster through long hours and huge amounts of exercise. In particular, many people in the gym see a lot of long hours of fitness muscle men, or girls with great bodies, in the envy of the same time also blindly increase their own exercise. Girls go to the gym most of them choose to use the treadmill running, the treadmill will drive the movement of the feet, so it will not make people feel so tired, running longer and longer, but in fact, sometimes the leg muscles are already in overload exercise. The boys like to use fitness equipment fitness, but many people go to the gym are by themselves, there is no companion around plus the wrong use of equipment, it is easy to cause muscle strains, practice is not as good as practice. After fitness exercise, muscle soreness is certain, many people will not think so. But in fact, there may be muscle strains or more serious problems. There is a young man because of exercise, was placed on a medical notice. Xiao Zhao is very busy because of work, after a long interval to return to the gym, because of the previous experience of fitness, so they set themselves a large amount of exercise. After the exercise he felt soreness all over his body and could not lift his arms, which he thought was normal at first, but after many days there was no relief and he started to urinate blood, so he went to the hospital for examination. The doctor diagnosed rhabdomyolysis and the possibility of sudden death, so he was hospitalized immediately and was given a critical illness notice during his stay. Although after 10 days of treatment, Xiao Zhao was discharged from the hospital after recovering. Although rhabdomyolysis is a rare occurrence, but the problem of strains due to fitness is worthy of everyone’s attention. The soreness of the body muscles after fitness is normal, but it may also be a muscle strain, how to determine whether it is normal or abnormal soreness? 1. location Muscle soreness after exercise is caused by the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles, so the range of soreness is relatively wide and cannot find a very clear location. In contrast, muscle strain is a certain system of muscle damage, there is generally a more concentrated location of soreness, and the range is also consistent with the direction of the muscle texture. You can test this by pressing the palm of your hand against the muscle, if you feel soreness under the entire palm of your hand, it is ordinary muscle soreness, if a point under the palm of your hand is extra painful, it is a muscle strain. Ordinary muscle soreness is symmetrical soreness all over the body because it is caused by exercise. When you find that the pain is more severe in one of the muscles on one side of the body, it is possible that the muscle is strained. 2. stretching the muscles Normal muscle soreness after exercise, when stretching the muscles, the pain will generally be reduced, and only when you contract the muscles with force will you feel pain. Just like stretching out the arm and bending the arm hard to make a fist, these two must be a relief an aggravation of soreness. And muscle strains are damage to the muscle itself, so the pain will still be felt when stretching. After discovering that you have a minor muscle strain, you should avoid firing the muscles in the injured area during your next training session, and then gradually resume strength training after the pain has completely disappeared. If it is an ordinary muscle soreness, it can be relieved by traction, so it is usually necessary to do a full body stretching exercise after running. But muscle strain can not be relieved by traction, but will make the muscle more painful. 3. time The easiest way, the time of muscle soreness is usually 24-72 hours, if more than this time, 5, 6 days or even a week later can still feel the pain, that is the muscle pulled on, go see a doctor. Fitness muscle strain how to deal with? 1. Pay attention to rest If you find an abnormal pain in a part of the body during exercise, then you need to stop exercising. To relax the painful muscles in time, and rest. 2. massage and gentle stretching strained muscles can choose the massage method to relax, massage should pay attention to gentle, and to follow the texture of the muscle to massage. Not only can promote blood circulation, but also can relieve muscle pain. You can also choose to stretch the limbs to move the damaged muscles, so that the waste in the muscles with the blood circulation out, but be careful not to overstretch, because the damaged muscles are very fragile. If the muscle strain is more serious, the occurrence of muscle heat and redness, ice is an injury first aid method, within 48 hours after the injury can use ice to relieve swelling. After 48 hours, you should change to hot compresses, which can promote blood flow to the damaged muscles to help recovery, but also to relax the tense muscles. But be careful not to use hot packs when you are just injured, otherwise it will cause more serious muscle swelling and damage.
