Exercise is good, but don't step on the "red line"
Recently, sudden deaths of athletes have occurred from time to time, and some media have pointed out that we ordinary people should grasp the timing and intensity of exercise.
Swimming, playing ball, brisk walking, jogging, cycling, etc. are the most popular aerobic exercises and the most common exercises, which can both strengthen the body and burn fat. However, as the intensity of exercise increases, the workload on the heart will become heavier and heavier, and once the limit of the body's tolerance is exceeded, sudden death may be induced. In order to avoid the risk of overload, experts have drawn a "red line" when exercising - maximum heart rate. When exercising, the heart rate exceeds the "maximum heart rate" and is prone to accidents.
"Maximum heart rate" refers to the maximum level when oxygen consumption and heart rate increase as the amount of exercise increases during exercise load, and at maximum load intensity, oxygen consumption and heart rate do not continue to increase. You can remember the calculation formula: maximum heart rate for adults (times/min) = 220 - age (years)
During exercise, a person's heart rate slowly increases over time. In general, moderate-intensity exercise is appropriate, that is, the heart rate reaches 70%-80% of the maximum heart rate. If you continue to exercise, your heart rate will continue to increase, and when your heart rate exceeds 80% or more of your maximum heart rate, you are more likely to have a cardiovascular abnormality. In particular, people with underlying diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia should pay special attention.
Five situations: Don't exercise vigorously Don't exercise after staying up late; Don't exercise after drinking; Don't exercise when you're sick; Do not exercise after exertion; If there is significant discomfort during exercise, do not continue exercising.
Moderate exercise refer to this standard
From the perspective of prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, moderate exercise can strengthen the body, improve the tolerance of the heart and improve the blood supply to the myocardium. For different individuals, the amount of exercise also varies from person to person and needs to be individualized. For the average person, moderate exercise is "moderate" exercise. About 30 minutes 5 to 7 times a week is very suitable.
How can you tell if exercise is moderate? Under normal circumstances, if you reach a slight shortness of breath and slight sweating during exercise, the shortness of breath will disappear within 4 minutes after stopping exercise, and the heartbeat will return to a normal level or close to a normal level within 10 minutes, and the pre-exercise state, then this amount of exercise is more appropriate. Of course, the most scientific and convenient way is to go to the hospital for a check-up - cardiopulmonary exercise test, especially for those who are keen on "running horses".
In addition, patients with coronary heart disease, especially after myocardial infarction and heart failure, do not mean that they cannot exercise, but they should be evaluated for cardiopulmonary function and gradually exercise under the guidance of a doctor.
