"Sports fever" brings "epidemic"?

　　 As the concept of exercise and fitness gains popularity, diseases such as Achilles tendon ruptures that "moved out" have also become "popular." Experts suggest that you should choose the exercise method that suits you, make full preparations before exercise, and master the correct technical skills during exercise.

　　 The Achilles tendon, the most powerful tendon behind the calf, is inseparable from standing, standing, running, jumping, etc., but it is also the most easily broken tendon of the human body. Wang Junfei, the deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics, Nanjing Gulou Hospital, explained that common clinically common spontaneous ruptures of the Achilles tendon generally occur in unilateral limbs. More than 70% of spontaneous ruptures occur during exercise. The Achilles tendon is locally swollen and painful, and the plantar flexion is weak, Inability to stand on tiptoes, limp, etc. are the main manifestations. “In addition to the high incidence of Achilles tendon ruptures in athletes and dance acrobats, in recent years it has become more common among middle-aged sports enthusiasts, especially badminton, tennis, basketball, and other sports that require bounce.”

　　 Once suspected of a rupture of the Achilles tendon, immediately stop exercising and prohibit walking to avoid further aggravation of the injury. You can use a stick to tie the instep and fix the foot in the plantar flexion position so that the Achilles tendon is minimally stressed and avoid further damage. At the same time, apply ice packs to the affected area to constrict local capillaries, reduce the release of inflammatory mediators and the exudation of tissue fluid, and can significantly reduce pain and swelling. After simple treatment, send the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.

 　　 Take necessary measures to prevent Achilles tendon rupture during exercise. If the weight is heavy, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and do more aerobic exercises such as swimming, brisk walking, jogging, and cycling. Make full preparations before exercise, and pay attention to protection during exercise, such as using a sheath at the ankle joint. Grasp the essentials of correct technical movements during exercise, do not use brute force, do fierce and competitive exercises according to your ability, do not force it. "Physical exercise should be gradual. If fatigue or pain occurs during exercise, rest for a few days."
