What are the advantages and disadvantages of mountain climbing?

Nowadays, many people in cities are busy all day long, and they spend their free time surfing the Internet or watching TV. This does not allow their nerves to relax well, and these methods are also unhealthy and can easily cause physical problems. A better way to maintain health for people nowadays is to do some exercise outdoors. Most people like to go to the gym to exercise, but this is not necessarily good. In fact, mountain climbing is a very good choice, but mountain climbing also has advantages and disadvantages.

Benefits of mountaineering:

1. Leg strength training - make your feet flexible and powerful. Mountain climbing is one of the best ways to exercise your legs.

2. Mountain climbing can promote capillary function - making your whole body feel relaxed and unobstructed.

3. Climbing can strengthen your muscles and bones.

4. "Forest bathing"-a green health method. Enter the forest, travel through mountains and rivers, meditate and relax your mind, bathe in the spirit and fragrance of the forest, wash away the noise of the city, and feel relaxed and happy.

5. Mountain climbing can significantly improve the strength of the waist and legs, walking speed, endurance, body coordination and balance ability and other physical qualities, strengthen heart and lung function, and enhance disease resistance.

People who are not suitable for mountain climbing: those with chronic diseases such as movement disorders, arthritis, dermatomyositis, rheumatism, etc.; those with chronic diseases of the respiratory system, such as cor pulmonale, chronic bronchitis; those with chronic diseases of the circulatory system, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, especially those with chronic coronary artery insufficiency; chronic nephritis; blood diseases; diabetes with complications; gout; lupus erythematosus; and liver 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 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.

It should be pointed out here that mountain climbing has both advantages and disadvantages. Everyone needs to pay attention. If your body allows you to climb a mountain, you can do it, but if your body does not allow it, you cannot force yourself to climb a mountain. In addition, mountain climbing is a relatively heavy sport, so you must make a plan according to your own amount of exercise, and you don't have to climb very high.
