It’s warm. Get up quickly! Better than walking, real longevity exercise ~

Everyone knows that exercise is good for health, and it is a good time to carry out outdoor sports in spring.

However, do you know which kind of exercise is most beneficial to health?

Bow your head for a long time and practice swing sports

Previously, a research article on sports published in the famous medical journal The Lancet showed that after tracking 80,000 people for 10 years, the researchers found that compared with the subjects who did not participate in the corresponding sports, the all-cause mortality of swing athletes decreased by 47%, ranking first in common sports. The second place is swimming and the third place is aerobic exercise.

Then, why are swing sports (badminton, table tennis, tennis, etc.) so powerful?

Medical experts give the following conclusions: 1. Swing can stimulate the shoulder muscles and the biceps brachii and triceps brachii, and effectively enhance the strength of the shoulder and arm muscles. 2. In the process of fast moving, the whole body muscles need to be coordinated, especially the leg muscles will be effectively exercised. 3. In the process of exercise, the brain needs to think quickly and nervously, which has the function of strengthening the brain and can delay the cerebral arteriosclerosis of the elderly and keep their thinking and memory. 4. Eyes staring at the ball can promote the eye to regulate movement and accelerate the blood supply and metabolism of eyeball tissue. In addition, in the process of raising our heads and waving our rackets again and again, our shoulders and necks, which are stiff due to long-term bowing down for office and entertainment, will also be exercised. 6. Swing requires at least two people to participate, which is helpful to establish a healthy social relationship.

Make four preparations before swinging.

01 warm up

It is suggested to warm up fully before exercise, so that the body can adapt to this feeling of accelerated blood flow and muscle extension, and then gradually strengthen the intensity of exercise, and do full stretching recovery after training. Generally speaking, the preparation time should not be less than 10 minutes. Jogging, leg press, rubbing joints and stretching muscles in various parts are common methods.

Pay attention to the action norms when exercising. Relax before catching the ball. The big arm drives the small arm, and then drives the fingers and wrists to hit the ball hard. Don’t swing your arm.

Relax for no less than 20 minutes. You can relax each other or yourself, and relax your leg and arm muscles by pressing, stepping and throwing.

02 choose the right equipment

Racket is an essential equipment for swing sports. For beginners, try to choose a lighter racket.

The weight of the racket used by women is between 270 and 280 grams, and that of men is between 300 and 315 grams, which is usually more suitable.

For badminton rackets or tennis rackets, the net wire should not be adjusted too tightly, so it is better to hit the ball back without too much shock when hitting the ball.

03 control exercise time

Exercise is good, but you should control your time. Generally speaking, swing sports don’t need to be practiced every day, and once a day is the most beneficial to health, 3 to 5 days a week.

In terms of the length of time, the best time for each exercise is between 45 and 60 minutes.

Less than or exceeding the above-mentioned exercise frequency and time may have negative effects on health.

04 control the intensity of exercise

Middle-aged and elderly people tend to exercise more, and it is better to sweat a little when doing swing sports, so they should feel relaxed and comfortable after exercise.

For the elderly, it is advisable to stretch the body and mind by swinging. When playing, you should defend more and smash less, and don’t save the ball too actively to avoid injury.

More importantly, the main purpose of physical exercise is to benefit the body and mind. When middle-aged and elderly people play ball, they should not get angry or blindly increase the intensity of exercise for a moment.
