Yoga is very effective in improving body flexibility and muscle shaping, and its unique breathing method can enhance the function of respiratory muscles. Improve lung capacity. In an experiment. 29 healthy subjects performed yoga exercises for 6 weeks, mainly doing poses such as "cat pose", "tree pose", "camel pose" and "lizard pose" to strengthen the chest and arm muscles. Tests at the end of the experiment found that the participants' expiratory and inspiratory volumes, as well as their maximum vital capacity, had increased. Improving lung capacity is not the same as improving aerobic exercise ability or endurance, because in plain areas, the quality of lung function will not affect the delivery of oxygen in the body. But at least a larger lung capacity provides the body with more oxygen. During the cold season, everyone should strengthen their awareness of self-protection. Dirty hands and faces are breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses, and mobile phones are also covered with invisible dirt. Even the healthiest gyms are no exception. Sweat, high temperatures, and shared fitness equipment together create an environment that breeds bacteria, and even daily cleaning and disinfection is not safe. Yoga mats, as items that come in close contact with the human body, should arouse our vigilance. The easiest way to ensure safety is to bring your own yoga mat. In addition, bring a towel with you and place it on the seat of the machine you are going to use. If sweat stains are found on the equipment, staff should be reminded to clean and disinfect it in time. The latest research finds that Pilates can relieve symptoms of Parkinson's disease and improve patients' balance. Researchers at the Parkinson's Disease Research Center at Oregon Medical University pointed out that it is the controlled exercise method of Pilates (sometimes a movement is only a few inches [1 inch = 2.54 cm] in amplitude) that has a significant therapeutic effect on Parkinson's patients, even though some movements are inconspicuous. Previously, there had been no studies on Pilates to prove its effectiveness in relieving the full range of symptoms of Parkinson's disease. At the same time, practitioners have also said that their symptoms have improved since practicing Pilates. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder that inhibits the patient's ability to control movement. The most common symptoms include tremors, slow movements, joint stiffness, and poor balance. |
