"Sports experts" over-exercise over the weekend and be careful about harming their bodies

　　Reporter at Guangdong Province No. 2 Middle School Hospital The Department of Orthopedics and Joints learned that there are nearly 20 patients who need surgical treatment due to sports injuries every month, and most of them are this kind of patients who do not usually exercise , a temporary "athletic superman" who becomes "full" at a time.

　　Experts remind that busy urban people who are under various pressures on weekdays should insist on doing "slow exercise" that is non-confrontational, slow-paced and low-intensity according to local conditions. Never practice "full" at one time just to pursue "quantity".

　　Phenomenon

　　Young white-collar workers were injured during weekend "violent training"

　　25-year-old Zhang Jie was diagnosed with "meniscus injury." The cause of the injury has to start from last weekend. He was usually too busy to spare any time. As soon as he finished his workout on Saturday, he received a call from a friend and asked him to play basketball with him. He readily agreed. During a rebound rush, Zhang Jie jumped up suddenly. Although he felt something was wrong with his knee when he landed, he didn't pay much attention to it. After playing, although he still felt a little uncomfortable in his knee, he thought it might be that he was a little exhausted and would be fine after a while. However, he did not expect that even walking would be affected on Sunday, so he had to go to the hospital for a check-up.

　　“If you want to recover well, it is best to have surgery as soon as possible! ” Liu Wengang, deputy director of the Department of Orthopedics and Joints of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Guangdong Province, said that Zhang Jie’s experience is not an isolated case. Meniscal injuries are generally more common among professional athletes, but almost every week the hospital encounters patients like Zhang Jie who do not exercise and injure their muscles and bones due to "excessive movement". The Orthopedic and Joint Department alone can treat nearly 20 patients who need surgical treatment due to sports injuries every month.

　　Concentrated "violent training" may affect cardiopulmonary function

　　“Many young people are becoming more and more aware of exercise, but they do not know how to properly regulate the amount of exercise. ”Professor Huang Feng, director of the Orthopedics Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that due to the high pressure of life and work, some busy urban people who have no time to exercise usually have a "utilitarian" mentality when it comes to exercise. They engage in "overeating"-style exercise on weekends. Not only does this not have a good fitness effect, but it is also prone to accidental physical injuries. The more common ones include the following two categories:

　　1. Joint injuries: Young guys like Zhang Jie who seldom exercise on weekdays and only sharpen their skills to engage in confrontational sports on weekends are most likely to suffer from this kind of injury, especially the two "weak links" of the knee joint and ankle joint, which "bear the brunt" of a large number of violent running and jumping.

　　2. Tendon strain: Many white-collar workers like to go to the gym on weekends, but they often start exercising without sufficient warm-up preparations. Moreover, they practice for most of the day, and tendons are injured during excessive stretching for too long.

　　“In addition, long-term 'violent training' will also cause hidden harm. ”Liu Wengang pointed out that even for young people, if they often exercise excessively on weekends, if the normal physiological load is exceeded, it will definitely increase the burden on the organs. In the long term, it can affect the cardiopulmonary function and cause myocardial fatigue.
