What are the precautions for mountain climbing activities?

For people who often live in big cities, mountain climbing is a very good outdoor sport. First, you can see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and breathe fresh air freely. At the same time, it can also relieve the pressure of work and study, and it can also play an important role in physical exercise. So is there anything you need to pay attention to when climbing a mountain? What are the precautions for mountain climbing? Let us introduce to you:

People who are not suitable for mountain climbing

▲Chronic diseases of the respiratory system: cor pulmonale, chronic tracheitis

▲Hematological diseases

Gout

▲Lupus erythematosus

Cirrhosis

If the above patients insist on climbing the mountain, please remember to climb slowly and do not force yourself to reach the top.

Here we are not only going to talk about what the elderly should pay attention to when climbing mountains, but also what everyone should pay attention to when climbing mountains. The first thing is to understand your physical condition before climbing, especially your cardiovascular function, joint function, and knee joint function.

Due to the degeneration of joint function in the elderly, they may not feel anything when walking on flat ground, but when climbing a mountain, it will cause excessive load, aggravate joint degeneration, and even some joint symptoms that do not usually appear will appear when climbing a mountain. The second is the time to climb the mountain.

We do not recommend mountain climbing very early in the morning in big cities like Beijing, because the air quality is not very good at that time. For some elderly people or people with poor respiratory function, this kind of mountain climbing itself does not have much benefit for them. In addition, mountain climbing is a very heavy-load sport. A person's heart function can normally withstand some activities, but during the mountain climbing process, it is easy for the heart to be overloaded, leading to the sudden occurrence of some cardiovascular diseases. This is not what we call scientific exercise for the elderly or for people who climb mountains. The sprained ankle joint needs to be protected with protective gear during exercise, otherwise the instability of the ankle joint will cause the symptoms to worsen.

The above introduces some things you need to pay attention to when hiking. Although there are many benefits to mountain climbing, it is not suitable for everyone. You must decide based on your physical condition. You should also choose to climb when the weather conditions are good. The road surface is slippery in rainy and snowy weather, so mountain climbing is not recommended.
