Exercise is good for physical and mental health. Many elderly people will also get up early and run in the morning, but because they are in the age group, they are prone to accidents caused by aging.

Jiangsu Public News Report: An elderly man in his 80s went to the park for a morning trip one morning, walked backwards and chatted with others. As a result, he accidentally fell into the pond, causing a fracture of the vertebrae and absent, which was almost absent.

doctors said that this type of spinal cord is quite dangerous and can easily lead to burping the limbs. For many elderly people, experts say that this method is not as good as other sports, but increases risks, because the elderly are not as flexible, sports coordination and reaction as young people. Once they encounter obstacles or the road is not smooth, they are prone to falling and hurting.

In addition to going backwards, doctors also remind the following five common sports errors to call the elderly to be careful.

1. Shoulder exercise

Many elderly people have sore shoulders. If they want to use sports to unravel, they will perform shoulder movements such as single or suspended shoulders, baseball pitching, weight grabbing, etc., but this will increase shoulder load, causing rotator cuff tear.

2. Spine movement

Many people like to do the movement of flying (pictured below), but excessive stretching of this movement will increase the pressure and collision of the drama, increase the hardness of the pedicle, cause fractures, and are not suitable for the elderly.

In addition, when sitting up, you need to curl up your legs to exercise your abdominal muscles. If your strength is too strong, it will increase the burden on the lumbar spine, causing the degeneration of the vertebrae in the elderly to become severe, and it will also increase the blood pressure of people with cardiovascular and vascular diseases.

3. Head movement

Many elderly people like to circle the head, thinking that it can stretch the vertebrae and relieve shoulder pain. However, if the elderly suffer from severe dysfunction or even cervical plaque formation, the head part will sway violently, causing distracted vomiting, which may cause dysfunction and plaque to fall.

It is recommended that if you want to do it, you should reduce the amplitude, speed and strength. The amplitude of the two sides and the front and back movements should be controlled within 180 degrees, and you can rest for 2 to 3 seconds in no time.

4. Empty morning exercise

Many people go to the morning exercise first without breakfast after getting up, but after sleeping for a night, they are already in an empty stomach and start exercising directly. The physical consumption and insufficient heat will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, which is especially dangerous for the elderly, which will lead to head, palpitations, and soft legs. The elderly who already have heart disease will fall or die suddenly.

5. Sports holds breath

Due to the decline of cardiopulmonary function of the elderly, if the air is too strong during sports, it will cause air and chest due to rupture of the alveolar. Holding air can also increase the burden on the heart, causing chest and palpitations.

When holding your air, the pressure in the chest cavity increases, and the amount of blood reflux decreases, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, which can easily cause dizziness and even fainting. After holding your breath, the blood volume of your heart will increase, and your blood pressure will increase, which will easily lead to brain and blood vessel accidents.

Therefore, it is not recommended that the elderly carry out air-stopping sports projects such as heavy weight, tug of war, and lead to the upward movement.
