What causes stomach pain when doing sit-ups?

Recently, many people have experienced stomach pain when doing sit-ups, which puzzles many of us. Therefore, we are unable to take effective measures to treat it. We should go to a nearby hospital for some examinations, determine the cause, and then start treatment, hoping that it will help us recover our health faster. Let us now understand the reasons for stomach pain when doing sit-ups.

1. Doing relaxation activities for more than 10 minutes after strenuous exercise can keep the cardiovascular and respiratory systems at a high level, which is conducive to repaying the oxygen debt incurred during exercise. At the same time, relaxation activities can relax muscles and avoid affecting metabolic processes due to local circulatory disorders. Recommended relaxation activities include: jogging, breathing exercises and stretching exercises for various muscle groups. Doing stretching exercises after exercise can eliminate muscle spasms, improve muscle blood circulation, reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, eliminate local fatigue, and also have a good effect on preventing sports injuries.

2. Stomach pain from doing sit-ups may be due to lactic acid accumulation. Lactic acid is an intermediate product produced during the metabolism of glucose in the body during exercise. Due to excessive exercise, which exceeds the intensity of anaerobic exercise, the lactic acid produced in the body cannot be further decomposed into water and carbon dioxide in a short period of time. The insufficient oxygen supply leads to anaerobic metabolism, which causes a large amount of excessive product lactic acid to accumulate in the body.

Lactic acid accumulation can cause local muscle soreness. Generally, lactic acid accumulates. If you want to speed up the excretion of lactic acid, one way is to continue aerobic exercise to accelerate the excretion of lactic acid from the body along with the metabolism of energy. Another way is to use hot water fumigation (such as sauna) or hot towel compress, which can also achieve the purpose of accelerating the excretion of lactic acid.

Generally, after a period of exercise, the body adapts to the intensity of this load and muscle soreness caused by lactic acid accumulation will no longer occur.

What is the reason for stomach pain when doing sit-ups? It needs special attention to help us achieve better healing effects. I hope everyone can recover their bodies as soon as possible and get rid of the troubles caused by this situation. At the same time, we must pay special attention to the precautions when doing sit-ups.
