These seven groups of people are not suitable for running

Running, as a simple and easy-to-follow aerobic exercise for all ages, has always been loved by the public. However, not everyone is suitable for the sport. In the pursuit of health and shape, we must first understand our physical condition and avoid blindly following trends. This article will ** seven categories of people who are not suitable for running, in order to guide everyone to arrange exercise plans scientifically and reasonably.

1. Obese people.

Obese people are overweight, which puts a lot of pressure on the knee joint during running. Long-term running can easily lead to knee joint injuries, such as arthritis, meniscus injury, etc. Therefore, obese people should give preference to other low-impact exercises, such as swimming, elliptical machines, etc., to reduce the burden on the knee joint.

2. Patients with cardiopulmonary insufficiency.

Running is a high-intensity aerobic exercise that requires good cardiorespiratory support. For people with cardiopulmonary insufficiency, running may cause adverse symptoms such as tachycardia, angina, etc.

Therefore, such people should first carry out moderate aerobic exercise training, such as brisk walking, jogging, etc., to gradually improve cardiopulmonary function.

3. Diabetic patients.

Diabetics need to pay special attention when running. Running can cause blood sugar to drop, triggering a hypoglycemic reaction. Diabetics are advised to consult their doctor before running and to carry sugary foods such as sweets and biscuits with them in case of emergency. At the same time, avoid running on an empty stomach.

4. Patients with osteoporosis.

People with osteoporosis have fragile bones and are prone to fractures. The impact of running can cause fractures or worsen osteoporosis symptoms. Therefore, patients with osteoporosis should avoid high-impact exercises such as running and choose low-impact exercises such as yoga and tai chi.

5. Patients with chronic joint diseases.

People with chronic joint diseases such as arthritis, synovitis, etc., have their articular cartilage already damaged or inflammation persists. Repeated friction and impact while running can lead to further damage to the joints. This group of people should avoid high-impact sports such as running, and choose low-impact sports such as cycling and elliptical machines. At the same time, pay attention to joint protection during exercise, such as wearing knee pads, wrist pads, etc.

6. Pregnant women. Pregnant women will undergo a series of changes in all aspects of their body during pregnancy, such as weight gain, shift of center of gravity, etc. Bumps while running can lead to adverse consequences such as falls and abdominal pain in pregnant women. In addition, high-intensity exercise during pregnancy may affect the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid high-impact sports such as running and choose low-impact exercises such as walking and yoga.

7. Persons with mental illness.

People with mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, etc., have an unstable psychological state and are easily affected by external stimuli. Fatigue and discomfort during running can increase the psychological burden of patients and even lead to adverse consequences. Therefore, such people should avoid high-intensity exercises such as running, and can choose relaxed and enjoyable exercise methods, such as yoga and tai chi. At the same time, psychology and medication are also very important.

In conclusion, when choosing running as a form of exercise, we should be fully aware of our physical condition and health.
