Who is suitable for mountain climbing?

Generally speaking, mountaineering is a very meaningful sporting activity that is generally beneficial to people's health. Even people with weak bodies can get better after long-term mountaineering. The key to mountaineering safety is to "act within your ability", that is to say: choose the appropriate mountain based on your physical strength, experience, professional knowledge, etc.

For those who rarely exercise, mountain climbing is no small exercise. It is not only a test of the motor function of the lower limbs, but more of a challenge to the cardiopulmonary function. Its intensity far exceeds the general heart load test. Rashly climbing is equivalent to conducting a dangerous heart exercise test without authorization.

Modern people have a relatively good life, but due to the busy nature of their work and lack of physical exercise, a considerable number of young and middle-aged people have poor physical fitness. Apart from commuting to and from get off work, people don't even have plans for taking a walk in their daily lives. Even climbing a few floors will make them breathless and sweating profusely. Some people are even too tired to go to the doorstep to buy groceries and newspapers and have to drive instead. Therefore, mountaineering is looked down upon by them because it is unfamiliar to them. Some people even regard mountaineering as a light sport of climbing stairs and hills, which is actually totally wrong. For those young and middle-aged "snails" who don't like to move, mountain climbing will undoubtedly put the heart under an unprecedented burden and challenge.

Experts recommend that climbers take time a week before climbing to have a simple physical examination, do an electrocardiogram, measure blood pressure, and ask a cardiologist to listen to the heart in order to make an overall assessment of heart function. If you have enough time, you can also go to the physical fitness testing center to do a physical test and seek advice from sports medicine experts on mountaineering issues. People who usually have abnormal electrocardiogram, myocardial ischemia, chest tightness, premature beats, arrhythmia, etc. should give up mountain climbing. For safety reasons, it is best to carry emergency medicines such as nitroglycerin and compound salvia miltiorrhiza with you. For those who lack a training foundation, don't try to be brave if you are not confident. You must do it within your ability and don't add color to the competition without permission. When you experience signs of heart discomfort such as chest tightness or chest pain, you must be particularly alert and not be careless, otherwise you may be in danger of sudden death during exercise.

Although physical exercise can improve the body, you must choose the one that suits you. The above is an introduction to who is suitable for mountain climbing. After understanding it, we know that there are many people who are suitable for mountain climbing, but people with diseases such as heart disease and asthma should not go mountain climbing, as this may easily cause the body to be unable to withstand the energy consumed by climbing.
