How to practice Tai Ji Chuan in summer?
After the long summer, the weather became hot. Chinese medicine believes that "summer heat is easy to hurt qi" and "summer heat is easy to enter the heart". Therefore, people should pay more attention to mental conditioning in summer and strengthen the maintenance of internal organs. Here is how to practice Tai Ji Chuan well in summer. Welcome to reading.
How to practice Tai Ji Chuan in summer? In summer, due to the high temperature, the viscosity of muscles decreases (when muscles contract or stretch, the resistance caused by friction between muscle fibers, muscles or muscle groups hinders the rapid shortening and stretching of muscles, and consumes some redundant energy. This property is called muscle viscosity. Viscosity is closely related to temperature, and ambient temperature and body temperature will directly affect muscle viscosity. When the climate is cold, the muscle's' viscosity increases, which is easy to cause muscle strain' and its ductility increases, which is also conducive to the all-round development of Wushu training and the development of sports quality training.
When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, abdominal breathing "distension" strengthens visceral peristalsis and self-massages the stomach and other internal organs, so that the triple energizer is unobstructed, the spleen and stomach rise and fall smoothly, the metabolism is strengthened, and China Shui Gu has strong functions.
Tai Ji Chuan's abdominal breathing in the sunken abdomen makes the chest open and close, thus strengthening the function of "lung governing qi"; By expelling the old and absorbing the new, it not only enriches the "clan spirit", but also promotes the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, so that all parts of the body can get nutrition and activities.
When practicing boxing, it is required to maintain uniform and deep abdominal breathing, which not only exercises the ventilation function and ventilation function of the lungs, but also promotes blood and lymphatic circulation and strengthens the massage of abdominal organs; Visceral movements can transmit feedback information to higher nerve centers, including the brain and limbic system, through afferent nerves. Through nerve regulation and body fluid regulation, the visceral functions of cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, blood, metabolism and excretion systems are enhanced, the regulation of visceral functions tends to be balanced, nutrition and oxygen are continuously supplemented, and metabolic wastes are discharged. The pH, osmotic pressure and temperature in the body tend to be relatively stable, and human metabolism is normal.
However, I need to remind you that although practicing Tai Ji Chuan in hot summer has many benefits, if you don't do it well, you will still be injured by heat. Therefore, we should pay attention to the following points when practicing martial arts in summer:
When practicing dog days in summer, you should pay attention to the following points:
"Summer dog days training" does not need people to practice in the hot sun. You can choose a cool and ventilated place to practice in summer. Practicing boxing in a hot place is very exhausting and prone to heatstroke. Training in the morning and evening is appropriate.
When you are sweating all over, be careful not to blow in front of the vent or electric fan, otherwise you will not only catch a cold, but also your shoulders, waist and knees will easily catch a cold due to blowing.
Physiologically, some organs are always in an inert state, and all joints, ligaments and muscles need to be pulled apart in advance to adapt to violent and changeable movements and prevent injuries;
In hot summer, physical energy consumption is relatively large, and the amount and intensity of exercise can be appropriately reduced. The purpose of training is to consolidate and improve skills, and the content of training is to give priority to comprehensive skills training, taking into account key movements and breakthrough training in shortage links. We should pay attention to flexibly adjust the amount of exercise according to the temperature. When the temperature is too high, the amount of exercise should be smaller, and reducing endurance and strength training can increase flexibility training.
It is generally not recommended to drink water when practicing Tai Ji Chuan in summer. If you sweat too much, you can add a small amount. If you are just thirsty, it can be relieved by moistening your throat with a little water. Just after exercise, it is best not to drink water immediately, so as not to increase the burden on the heart and kidneys. After a short rest, drink a small amount of light salt water several times to help maintain the balance of water and salt in the body. Drinking some sugar water and fruit juice will help to replenish the consumed energy as soon as possible and promote the recovery of the body.
Don't try to be happy after Tai Ji Chuan. Rinse immediately with cold water, preferably with warm water. People who have the habit of taking a cold bath can take a rest for a while, and then take a cold bath when the sweat subsides and the body temperature drops slightly. Don't jump into cold water to swim and take a bath.
In terms of clothes. Tai chi suit and loose clothes are suitable. Wear Tai Chi shoes or sports shoes when practicing. Change your casual shoes in time after practice, and don't practice barefoot, otherwise you will easily sprain your ankle or be scratched by hard objects on the ground.
As the saying goes, "practice for three days in winter and three days in summer", no matter how cold and hot the weather is, we must persist in physical exercise, so that the body can better acquire the ability of "four seasons are suitable, cold and summer are suitable". In fact, in the hot summer, people who don't like physical exercise, the more afraid of heat, the more hot they feel, the less active they are, and the worse their adaptability to the external environment. Exercise in a hot environment can dilate subcutaneous capillaries, accelerate the opening of human glands, improve heat dissipation, and make the body have a stronger ability to regulate body temperature. Therefore, it is more comfortable to advocate "summer training", calm down and nourish your heart.
