Can listening to music really stimulate exercise?
Although the research of health institutions shows that the synchronization of exercise rhythm and music melody can reduce the oxygen demand of athletes by 7%, the music with strong motivation can disintegrate fatigue and improve athletes' endurance 15%. However, medical experts say that listening to music for running is also risky. If you don't do it right, it will kill you.
Listening to music and running had an accident!
Miss Xia keeps running through headphones to lose weight. But in fact, if she lives in her own world with headphones, it is potentially dangerous for some people who like listening to songs.
An American man was killed because he wore headphones to listen to music and didn't hear the train whistle. Last April, a Hong Kong youth aged 19 was listening to music while running in the street. He was knocked down by a minibus and suffered multiple fractures.
After the accident, sports experts said that running outdoors and listening to concerts distracted attention, leading to neglect of the surrounding environment and accidents.
It is understood that some international competitions also explicitly prohibit players from wearing headphones. For example, the American Twin City Marathon cancelled 144 contestants with music equipment. In domestic marathon events, there is no similar regulation.
It has an impact on hearing and vision.
How about listening to music and running? Medical experts say that running and listening to music is actually harmful to your health. It is unscientific to run and listen to music for a long time. The noise produced by headphones will affect the microcirculation of inner eardrum cells. When running, the microcirculation speed is relatively fast, which may affect hearing. Running and listening to songs will not only affect your hearing, but also your eyesight. The rhythm of some music may destroy the speed at which your brain receives the surrounding images, which will lead to your poor judgment and make fatal mistakes. "
In addition, listening to music equipment will also bring harm, and the radiation of batteries will be strong and weak with the change of terrain, which will do great harm to people's brains. If you wear inappropriate earplugs, it will cause scratches or abrasions, and bacteria will take the opportunity to invade and cause otitis externa.
Pay attention to keep pace with your heart rate when choosing songs.
Since it is harmful to your health, should you refuse to run and listen to music? Listening to light-paced music occasionally can really distract the fatigue caused by physical exercise, but it is definitely not good in the long run. And how to choose songs becomes very important.
Usually, music with a beat of 120- 140 per minute is the most suitable, and this rhythm is basically in tune with human heart rate. Heart rate is dominated by sympathetic nerve and vagus nerve. Concerts with different rhythms are transmitted to various nerve functional areas of the brain through the ears to generate different excitement, which can give some people the motivation to keep running. "
But running reminds: "When people run, the brain supplies oxygen to the lower limbs, and the head itself is in a state of hypoxia and ischemia. If the music rhythm is too strong, it will make them unbearable, but it will do harm to their health. Especially those who have neurasthenia and long-term insomnia and want to solve insomnia through running are not recommended to listen to songs while running. "
