On the stage of sports, every player is constantly challenging themselves and constantly breaking through their limits. However, in addition to coping with this situation, female players also have special difficulties such as shaving their hair before the competition, tearing off their swimsuits after the competition, and the ** and pressure from the outside world.
In aquatic sports such as swimming and diving, pre-competition preparation is very important for athletes. One of these methods is one that seems easy, but is actually scientifically significant, is shaving.
First of all, we must understand that body hair provides greater air resistance in water. In a liquid, for example, in water or gas, the object will be hindered by the liquid, which is known as drag.
In the water, the appearance of hair will increase the resistance of the water flow, which will affect the movement and agility of the players, so many players will shave the hair to reduce the resistance of the water flow, so as to improve their speed.
Moreover, these athletes shave their hair in order to create a good-looking look for themselves, they are not only for themselves, but also for their motherland, for their own nation, their appearance, is a nation, so they must show their style with the best attitude.
However, when shaving, there will be stinging, redness and swelling, and after shaving, it is easier to be exposed to sunlight, so after shaving, you must do a good job of protection to avoid damage.
In the 1970s, scientists became interested in people who liked to shave their body hair, hoping to show that shaving their hair actually speeded up human movement, and then they did an experiment that could change the history of water movement.
The first participant in the trial was a swimmer divided into two groups. One group decided to shave their hair, while the other didn't do anything, and everyone had to swim around in the same environment so that scientists could compare their performance.
On the first day of the experiment, there was an atmosphere of tension and excitement throughout the lab, as the participants plunged headlong into the pool and then went on a long dive journey, followed by them, recording every movement, every turn, and even every breath.
After the experiment, the researchers began analyzing the data and found that swimmers with shaved hair swam faster in the water. This is due to the fact that the hair increases the resistance of the water flow, and shaving the hair reduces the resistance and therefore accelerates.
The findings caused an uproar in swimming, with many athletes shaving their hair to improve their performance. The experiment not only rewrote the history of water, but also demonstrated the importance of technology in improving sports performance.
However, that's not all that makes them uncomfortable, tight swimsuits have also become their nightmares.
Tight-fitting swimsuits are designed to reduce resistance in the water and fit snugly against the player's body without leaving any gaps, but such a design can also cause a lot of problems.
Because it is difficult to take off the tight swimsuit, the material of the suit is too tight and there is no elasticity at all, so it takes a lot of effort to put it on, and every time you put it on, it is like you are racing against your body.
It's a great piece of swimming equipment, however, on the ground, it's not quite right. However, none of the competitors flinched, and they continued to work out their physical strengths, believing that this was the only way they could achieve a good performance.
At the Mediterranean Games, a female athlete was in an embarrassing situation: when she reached the finish line, she suddenly saw her corset torn on her chest, so she held the torn swimsuit in one hand and swam in the other. Her pace had slowed down, but she kept trying, until the end. Although she failed to win the gold medal in the end, her tenacity and persistence won her a round of applause.
Fu Yuanhui once complained: "Do you know that this swimsuit is good?"He's like a mischievous kid who always likes to play with you*** you try to put it on, but the thing clings to you, making it hard for you to move. You're going to take it off, but it's going to haunt you like a haunting ghost, and you can't shake it off no matter what. ”
I have to exert my best strength every time to put it on. When I got dressed, it was as if I had been entangled in a giant octopus, and I couldn't even breathe. ”
Phillips said in an interview: "These tight swimsuits for competitions look pretty handsome, but they hurt when you change them. "I remember that after a high-intensity race, I had a lot of physical exertion. I went to the changing room and took off my swimming suit. ”
The swimsuit was so close to me that I had to work hard to get it off. Just as I was about to rip it off, it suddenly bounced and hit me straight away. I felt like I had been stung by a bumblebee, and I was almost out of breath in pain. ”
The menstrual cycle is another challenge for female athletes.
At the same time, Phillips also said: "I'm a male athlete, and I can't go through the pain of menstruation like a female athlete. "But I also understand that my aunt can cause some physical discomfort, which can have a certain impact on their games and practice. I admire their resilience and persistence. ”
During menstruation, some changes occur both physically and mentally, which can have a certain impact on its performance.
During menstruation, symptoms such as abdominal pain, breast tenderness, and headaches may also occur. Physical discomfort will have a detrimental effect on the training and performance of the athletes. For example, abdominal pain can be used to reduce their skill and speed through the use of abdominal muscles.
Menstruation can lead to mood instability. During the menstrual period, some players experience feelings of anxiety, frustration or irritability. This emotional change will have a certain impact on the psychological state of the athlete, which in turn will have a certain effect on the performance of the athlete.
However, although there can be certain difficulties with menstruation, many female athletes still have ways to overcome them. For example, some athletes can adjust their training schedules, change their diet, or take OTC drugs to reduce the discomfort of their periods. In addition, some athletes also perform some degree of mental exercise during menstruation.
Born in 1996, Ye Shiwen has shown her passion and talent for swimming since she was a child. When she was 15 years old, she won the gold medal in the 200m individual medley at the London 2012 Olympics, making her the smallest ever Olympic champion in China. Since then, she has participated in many world competitions and won glory for the Chinese swimming team.
However, even the best players in the world can't completely get rid of menstruation. At a major event, Ye Shiwen encountered this problem.
Her eldest aunt came, and she was about to fight, but Ye Shiwen didn't do what she said. Stomach pain, weakness, and agitation.
Near the end, Ye Shiwen suddenly felt a sharp pain that pierced his heart. She had spasms in both legs. She struggled to endure the pain and tried to swim forward, but her body could not move. Seeing other runners passing by her and crossing the finish line, she was helpless.
After the game, Ye Shiwen felt very disappointed.
Born in 1996, Fu Yuanhui has been an avid swimmer since she was a child. In Rio 2016, she finished third in the 100m backstroke and won her first Olympic gold medal. Since then, she has participated in many world competitions and won glory for the Chinese swimming team.
Fu Yuanhui was tortured enough by her aunt and missed a lot of good opportunities.
Although swimming may seem beautiful and very good for human health, it is also an issue that cannot be ignored among professional athletes. Long-term training and competition at a high level will cause some damage to the human body.
Swimming is a systematic workout that involves all the muscles. In the fierce sports and competition, the muscles of athletes are constantly stretched and compressed, which not only causes overwork of the muscles, but also causes muscle strain. In addition, since most exercise involves the shoulder, long-term swimming can also cause damage to the joints, especially the shoulders.
Long-term strenuous swimming can also put a burden on the athlete's cardiovascular and respiratory tracts. Swimming is a cardiorespiratory exercise that requires a lot of aerobic. During intense exercise or competition, the heart beats faster to keep up with the oxygen supply to the muscles. This can overburden your heart, which can have adverse consequences for your heart in the long run.
Long-term strenuous swimming can also take a mental toll on athletes. High-level athletic training and competition require a great deal of physical and mental effort, which can lead to tension and tension. If it is not properly regulated and controlled, it will have adverse consequences for their physical and mental health.
Guo Jingjing, in the usual practice, completed a difficult action. However, when she jumped into the water, she suddenly felt a pain in her right eye.
Guo Jingjing was immediately taken to the hospital, and after a physical examination, the doctor informed her that the retina in her right eye had burst. It is a serious eye condition that can lead to blindness if not properly treated.
During this time, she has been doing recovery training. She knows very well that only in this way can she return to competition and chase her dreams.
After receiving a series of medical treatment and rehabilitation, Guo Jingjing's eyesight has gradually improved.
After Guo Jingjing suffered from a ruptured retina in her right eyeball, she found that her left eye was hazy during a day of practice, which caused a great obstacle to her practice.
She immediately went to the hospital for a medical check-up and was told that she also had a problem with her right eye. Although not as scary as a retinal tear, it can cause permanent visual damage if left untreated.
Hard work is a fact that an athlete has to face in his life. Whether it's an injury, a setback, or a personal struggle, they will keep going and keep moving towards their ideals.
With their own efforts and sweat, they have written their own myths. They constantly challenge themselves and break their limits, and they are role models for people to learn from and inspirational motivators.
Every hard-working player deserves our respect and respect. What they are pursuing is not just their own merit, but an honor to fight for the motherland and the people.
Whether it's the strength and agility shown on the field, or the people who work hard behind the scenes, there is a never-say-die spirit.
Because of this, they are stronger, stronger, and more valuable. Their deeds inspire each and every one of us, and make us firmly believe that if we have an ideal in our hearts and fight for it, then we can also shine brightly on the big stage of life.
Therefore, let's give the highest honor to those who have worked hard. Their hard work and persistence will make us more determined to pursue our ideals, and continue to move forward and surpass ourselves in the process of progress. It is those who work hard to make this sport wonderful and make us firmly believe that our dreams will be realized.
