Scooter Sports Must Be Safe And Healthy

Nov 26,2021

  The scooter is equipped with handles, brakes, and other devices, and it has a fast sliding speed. It is very popular among teenagers who love sports. Right now, scooters are very "prosperous" in many cities and become a fashion sport. But medical health experts advise the majority of sports enthusiasts: scooter sports should pay attention to safety and health care.

     Correct understanding of scooters, modern people like "extreme sports" in search of excitement. However, the scooter is not an ideal sports item and choice for physical exercise. If you use it for fitness, it must also be used as an auxiliary item for mainstream sports such as running and ball games.

  Teenagers should not play scooters for a long time. Teenagers are in a critical period of physical development. If they are obsessed with playing scooters for a long time, they will easily cause excessive leg muscles, which will affect the overall and symmetrical development of the body, and seriously hinder height development. Affect the physical fitness of teenagers.

    The sliding speed should not be too fast. Although the scooter is equipped with handles, brakes, and other devices, it is much safer than skateboards and inline wheels. However, if the sliding speed is too fast, especially beginners, they may lose control due to fast sliding, and may easily crash into objects or fall by themselves, causing trauma, fractures, and other injuries.

  Emergency braking is not suitable. If the speed of the scooter is too fast, the emergency braking will be performed under non-special circumstances. Due to the inertia of the movement, the head and neck will suddenly fall back. In severe cases, the neck may be sprained. Hand numbness may occur with nerve injury, and you should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

    Beware of sprained ankles when sliding. You need to rely on one foot on the ground to assist you when playing a scooter to slide forward. When the foot is on the ground, the reaction force generated by the friction between the sole and the ground may sometimes cause an ankle sprain. If the muscle is sprained, take a rest immediately, and apply a cold compress to the affected area with a towel wrapped in ice for 10-15 minutes. After the acute phase of muscle inflammation, switch to a towel dipped in hot water like a hot compress, and apply white flower oil and activating oil to the sprained area. Wait.

    Be prepared for activities when playing a scooter. When playing a scooter, because the waist and knees are stressed, you must do some preparatory activities before sliding, such as kicking, bending, and stretching. Rub your hands on the waist and legs to make the body adapt to the needs of exercise. Otherwise, if you step on the scooter rashly, it is very easy to cause muscle damage.

    Purchase the necessary protective facilities. For safety reasons, all scooter riders should wear helmets and goggles to protect their heads, wind, and dazzle the sun. Plus gloves, elbow pads, and knee pads. Keep your balance when you are on the skateboard with your feet.

    Due to the fast and thrilling movement of scooters, those suffering from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, epilepsy, high myopia, and dim vision should not participate in entertainment. Beware of accidents. Under bad natural environmental conditions such as ground icing, sandstorms, etc., it is not suitable to use scooters for safety and health care.
