What are the precautions for winter sports?

The operation mode is different in different seasons, especially in winter when the weather is relatively cold. We must pay great attention to the choice of sports. Our bones are relatively fragile in winter. If we accidentally get hurt by collisions, it will directly cause damage to our bones. We must learn more about the precautions for winter sports. Let us learn about the precautions for winter sports.

(1) Do enough warm-up before exercise. Warm-up exercises can increase body temperature, reduce muscle viscosity, relax muscles, and enable muscles to reach the state required for exercise. Do not participate in high-intensity activities without doing warm-up exercises.

(2) Arrange the training volume reasonably. You should arrange the amount of exercise reasonably according to your own situation, and do not blindly copy other people's training plans. If conditions permit, you can ask professional guidance to help develop a training plan.

(3) Master the technical movements correctly. You should start practicing only after you have fully mastered the technical movements. When doing high-load exercises with a large amount of exercise, it is best to have a companion to protect you. After a muscle strain occurs, local pain, tenderness, swelling, muscle tension, spasm, and functional impairment may occur. The pain is worse when the injured muscle is actively contracted or passively lengthened. In addition to the above symptoms, some seriously injured people may also have subcutaneous bleeding, local depression when touched, and abnormal bulge at one end, which may be a muscle rupture. Once muscle strain, mild muscle fiber strain and muscle spasm occur, acupuncture therapy can be used to treat. For those with partial muscle fiber rupture, cold compresses and pressure bandages can be applied in the early stages, and massage therapy can be started 48 hours later with gentle techniques. For those suspected of having complete muscle rupture, local pressure bandage should be applied, the affected limb should be immobilized, and the patient should be sent to the hospital immediately for diagnosis and, if necessary, surgical treatment. Muscle strain during exercise is mostly due to insufficient warm-up before exercise, especially in the cold winter when ligaments and muscles are more brittle and stiffer, and muscles are tighter. If the warm-up is not done well, or even if you immediately engage in strenuous exercise without doing any warm-up, you can easily get injured. This is because the muscles are suddenly overloaded without being prepared, which often causes muscle strain. From clinical observations, there are more sports injuries in this season. Once muscle strain occurs, mild cases will affect normal work, while severe cases will require surgical treatment for recovery.

It is very necessary to know more about the precautions for winter sports. Everyone must pay great attention to it. In winter, choose some sports that suit you and try not to engage in large-scale strenuous exercise. Otherwise, injuries will pose a fatal danger to our bodies. This must be taken seriously by each of us!
