Why are athletes in such poor health?

Why are athletes in such poor health? I believe that when we watch some games, we can also feel the exquisite skills of the athletes present. In the world competitions, our athletes also show our country's elegance. It has won great honor for our country.

Why are athletes in such poor health? 1 I believe that when we watch some games, we can feel the superb skills of the athletes present. Of course, their performance on the field must be inseparable from their usual hard training, and all the brilliance on the field is behind endless efforts.

In recent years, our country has also made great progress in all aspects. Of course, in the world series, our athletes also showed our country's elegance. It has won great honor for our country. These are the later efforts, and everything is hard-won. When we watch the game, we will find that their physique is very good. Compared with us, many people are very strong. Then some people say that the life span of national athletes is generally shorter than that of normal people. So what caused this? Why did this happen?

First of all, as a national athlete, he must want to win glory for his country and be able to fight on behalf of it. Work hard for your dreams. Then the competition will be great. This requires athletes to train day and night to keep fit. Then in the training day after day, I basically train a few movements every day, which is also very hard. These actions will do some harm to the body more or less if they are done for a long time. And in order to improve the performance of athletes, the amount of exercise will be very large. Then this will lead to your long-term physical overdraft. When you retire, your body's function will accumulate some problems because of the previous overdraft.

At this time, the body's resistance is not as strong as it was then. Then these diseases will break out and even affect our lives. These reasons are also one of the reasons that lead to the shorter life span of athletes. In addition, most of the drugs used by athletes when they are sick have special requirements, which are very different from those used by ordinary people. Then during the competition, or in the early stage of the competition, most athletes will choose to use their bodies to resist these diseases.

Because if you take medicine, it is easy to detect some substances in the pre-competition test, which may lead to taking stimulants and other performance-improving drugs. Due to various reasons, the current physical overdraft and disease accumulation lead to relatively short life expectancy of athletes. These are probably the reasons why athletes are so strong and their life expectancy is shorter than that of ordinary people.

Why are athletes in such poor health? They are all athletes. Why is there such a big difference in figure?

Do you always think that as professional athletes, you must be in great health? Perfect muscle lines, slender limbs, oh, eight abdominal muscles. ......

For example, like this:

Howard Schatz, a photographer from new york, once took a set of special body photos for Olympic athletes.

Top athletes of marathon, swimming, gymnastics, tennis and even weightlifting stand side by side and wear the same black tight underwear, which makes us feel more intuitively that athletes engaged in different sports have completely different bodies.

Basketball players are generally taller and have longer limbs; Gymnasts tend to be small and compact, with muscles more like stars; The body fat rate of swimmers is usually slightly higher than that of other athletes; Marathon runners seem to have almost no fat. Some of these differences may be caused by genetic factors (height), while others are the result of strict special training for athletes.

So as the saying goes, figure and exercise are closely related, and figure and exercise are closely related! Not only do you have to practice, but what you practice is also very important! Let's analyze the most representative physical characteristics of athletes in each event. You can also sit in the right position and see what kind of sports your body is more suitable for, if you are a professional athlete.

1. Swimmer

A typical swimmer has a V-shaped body, broad shoulders, slender waist line, streamlined muscle lines, high height and slender limbs. Of course, it would be great if you have a long body, wide feet and flexible ankles. For details, please refer to the figure of Phelps, a "flying fish" born specifically for swimming.

No amount of medals can be hung up.

Swimming is a whole-body sport, which requires athletes to have high coordination. It emphasizes the effect of paddling, the rhythm of movements and the coordination of hands and feet. In the process of moving forward in the swimming pool, its limbs and body move at the same time, and the amount of exercise obtained by each part of the body is basically equal, so the swimmer's figure is also relatively symmetrical. Swimmers and athletes will carry more fat than other athletes, because the buoyancy of fat in water is greater than that of muscles, and swimmers need to store some fat when they compete in cold water pools.

In addition, come on, Jun also wants to tell you that it is not feasible to build a good figure with eight abdominal muscles by swimming like Ning Zetao. Some swimmers have perfect bodies because they not only do swimming training, but also do some other land forces and abdominal muscle training.

2. Football players

Professional football players often have to go through a series of actions such as running fast, changing direction, stopping suddenly, then shooting or passing, stealing and so on. This is a sport that emphasizes the combination of speed, strength and agility, emphasizing the strength of the body, the coordination and flexibility of muscles.

Because football is more about competition and foot strength, the muscles of athletes' thighs and calves are stronger. However, not all football players are good at explosive power and physical confrontation. In addition, the competition and training consume a lot of oxygen, so it is not easy to accumulate fat, so the upper body of football players has no obvious characteristics.

3. Basketball players

Basketball players adapt to fierce pit battles because of their running and jumping, slender calves, prominent achilles tendon and strong core strength and upper limb strength. But this is not the most important thing, long arm span is king!

However, according to the players' different positions on the court, basketball players' bodies are also very different. For example, the shoulder muscles of the center are obviously higher than those of the point guard, because all kinds of bumps under the basket need developed deltoid muscles to fight; The point guard needs faster and more flexible movement speed and organizational awareness. Too big and strong body will affect his movements.

4. Track and field athletes (running)

Track and field events are very different. For example, you can see the difference between a shot putter and a discus thrower and a long jumper and a high jumper at a glance, can't you? For runners, according to the length of the distance, athletes' bodies often vary greatly.

Sprinters need explosive power and their huge muscle groups to provide short-term acceleration strength, so their muscle lines are very obvious, especially the leg muscles.

Long-distance running mainly tests the endurance of athletes, so long-distance runners will not have large muscles in their bodies. Players are generally slim, and they need to lose unnecessary weight. If the upper limbs are too strong, they will become a burden.

5. Tennis players

Tennis is a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise, which requires high strength of legs, shoulders, back and core. The endurance of excellent tennis players is very good, but generally in sports that require strong endurance, the athletes' bodies are not too strong. Too strong a body will affect their moving speed and make them more vulnerable.

Secondly, tennis players need to constantly complete kicking, turning, waist turning, shoulder turning and other actions because of the technical requirements. Therefore, they generally have broad shoulders and strong core strength, and their shoulders, back, waist and abdomen muscles are relatively developed. For Nadal, the king of clay, many of his shots need to be pulled back by the strength of his arm, so his muscles are quite developed.

6. Cyclists

There is a saying: never compare ham with cyclists, oh no, thighs! Especially track cyclists, because ......

In track cycling, we can often see cyclists' thighs bulging high, because all their efforts are accomplished by leg movements. The endurance supervisor of the national cycling team in the United States once described track cyclists as follows: their bodies are very strange, with thick thighs, thin waist and big buttocks, and it is difficult to find suitable pants to wear.

But not all cyclists have thighs as thick as those above. Look at the road cyclist like the Tour de France, he is well-proportioned, gee ... In short, compared with cycling, you can't compete with thighs, but you can't compete with thighs, and you can't compete with thighs ~

As for why they all ride bicycles, their bodies are so different. It's actually quite understandable. Just like sprinting and long-distance running, one fights for explosiveness and the other for endurance. Again: endurance race, if it is too heavy, you will lose!
