Running is not for anyone There are four types of elderly people who should not run for fitness
In our daily lives, running has gained a lot of popularity as a simple, easy, and inexpensive way to exercise. However, as the old saying goes, "There is nothing difficult in the world, only those who have a heart", although running may seem simple, it is not suitable for everyone.
Especially for the elderly, the various functions of the body have gradually declined, and running may bring unexpected health risks. In this article, we will ** four kinds of elderly people who are not suitable for running and fitness, in order to attract everyone's attention and attention to the health problems of the elderly.
1. Elderly people with cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiovascular disease is a common disease in the elderly population, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, etc. Patients with these diseases have reduced vascular elasticity and increased resistance to blood flow, which can lead to myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and even sudden death if they do strenuous exercise such as running. Therefore, the elderly with cardiovascular disease should avoid running and can choose low-intensity exercises such as walking and tai chi.
2. Elderly people with respiratory diseases.
With age, the body's respiratory system function will gradually decline, and it is easy to suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and other respiratory diseases. These patients have weak lung function, and are prone to uncomfortable symptoms such as shortness of breath and hypoxia when running, which may be life-threatening in severe cases. Therefore, the elderly with respiratory diseases should carefully choose the way of exercise and avoid high-intensity running.
3. Elderly people with orthopedic diseases.
The elderly are at high risk of orthopedic diseases such as osteoporosis and arthritis. The bones and joints of these patients are already damaged, and if they do strenuous exercise such as running, it is easy to increase joint wear and tear, causing joint pain and swelling. Therefore, the elderly with orthopedic diseases should choose gentle exercise methods, such as yoga, massage, etc., to protect the health of bones and joints.
Fourth, the frail and frail elderly.
Some elderly people are weak and weak due to age, illness or other reasons, and their muscles are atrophied, and high-intensity exercise such as running in this case can easily cause muscle strain, fractures and other problems. For these elderly people, appropriate exercise or training in bed may be more appropriate. When choosing an exercise method, it should be reasonably arranged according to the individual's physical condition and the doctor's advice.
In conclusion, while running is an easy, inexpensive form of exercise, it's not for everyone.
Especially for the elderly, the various functions of the body have gradually declined, and running may bring unexpected health risks.
