1. Is it normal to climb mountains with an accelerated heartbeat
The heartbeat is normal when climbing the mountain. Some people’s heart discomfort when climbing mountains is actually just a normal heartbeat acceleration. That’s because when the human body is climbing mountains, the skin and muscles need more blood than in a quiet state. The brain will secrete adrenaline, which promotes the heart’s accelerated blood pumping function and promotes the heat dissipation of skin, muscle and other tissues. Therefore, the heart naturally needs to increase its work efficiency, that is, the number of blood pumps increases, Thus, after climbing the mountain for a period of time, the heartbeat will accelerate.
2. Advantages of mountain climbing
2.1. Exercise your feet
Do you commute by elevator every day? When I climb the stairs, my feet are weak and I am out of breath. In the process of climbing, our feet are constantly in motion. This exercise helps to improve the flexibility of our joints and also helps prevent osteoporosis. Therefore, we recommend that you often climb mountains to exercise and strengthen the strength of your legs.
2.2. Lose weight
Outdoor mountain climbing is a kind of aerobic exercise. We often hear coaches say in the gym that anaerobic exercise increases muscle and aerobic exercise reduces weight, so if you want to lose weight, come climbing. It can not only accelerate the burning of fat but also promote the detoxification of the body. Long term adherence to mountain climbing can make our body more symmetrical.
2.3. Enhance cardiopulmonary function
Speaking of mountain climbing, in fact, every city has its own landmark mountain, also known as the green lung of the city, because the green trees and plants in the mountains enable us to feel the fresh air given by nature as soon as we enter the mountains. Exercise in this environment can not only help us adjust and practice our breathing, but also benefit our lungs.
3. Who is not suitable for mountain climbing
3.1 young people with cardiomyopathy or rheumatic heart disease are not suitable for climbing. Young sudden deaths often have dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, so patients with the two diseases mentioned above should not climb mountains.
3.2 the elderly with poor physique and patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not climb mountains. The functions of various organs in the elderly are declining, and most of them suffer from some chronic diseases to varying degrees. Mountain climbing is an exercise that consumes a lot of oxygen. The elderly who are going to climb the mountain must first take some exercises with less intensity so as to have a process of adaptation. People who have reached a certain age (women over 50 years old and men over 40 years old) belong to the high-risk group of coronary heart disease. People who have suffered from hypertension and coronary heart disease, especially those with chronic coronary artery insufficiency, are not suitable for climbing.
Precautions for mountain climbing
1. Note that it varies from person to person. Although mountain climbing is a good fitness activity, it is not suitable for everyone. You’d better check your body before you prepare to climb the mountain. If you have a heart disease, you’d better not climb the mountain. Because mountain climbing consumes a lot of physical energy, blood circulation is accelerated, heart load is increased, and angina pectoris and myocardial infarction are easily induced. If you really want to climb a mountain, you must walk with others, find some mountains with small slopes, and climb slowly. It is best to take more breaks on the way, and take first-aid medicine to prevent coronary heart disease. In addition, patients with epilepsy, vertigo, hypertension and emphysema should not climb mountains.
2. Watch out for the sun before you go up the mountain. It’s easy to be dangerous to exercise in the dark. In the morning, when the temperature is the lowest in the day, there is a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, and it is easy to have vasospasm and induce angina or myocardial infarction when it is suddenly stimulated by cold air. So it’s better to climb the mountain after breakfast.
3. Pay attention to drinking more water. The morning is the time when the blood viscosity of the human body is the highest, and also the peak time of the onset of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Even if you are not thirsty before climbing, you should drink a glass of water, which can not only dilute the blood, but also reduce the water shortage during exercise. When climbing, you should also pay attention to replenishing water at any time. It is best to use drinks containing appropriate sugar and electrolytes to reduce fatigue and recover physical strength as soon as possible.
What equipment should I take for climbing
1. Big backpack
There is a great difference between girls and boys in body shape. When choosing a backpack, you should choose a backpack specially designed for women. Because the distance between the shoulder straps attached is narrow, the back length of the backpack system is short, and the large volume is 50-70 liters.
2. Daily necessities
Because girls have many small problems, they must take some things specially for treating them, such as wet paper towels, lotion, combs, facial paper, mirrors, earplugs (to prevent being woken up at night by voices), facial cleansers, shampoos, bath creams, and sanitary products (pads, physiological products) for emergencies.
3. Dress
Silk socks, cotton socks, woolen socks, gloves, trousers, underwear, shirts, sun hats, work gloves, women’s underwear (no steel wire, good sports underwear, shoulder straps are “non detachable”).
