For example, parents will know the dangers of letting their children learn dance too early:
A 6-year-old girl, dancing with her lower back, caused high paraplegia;
A 6-year-old girl was diagnosed as paraplegia after being treated in Beijing Grand Hospital, because her central nervous system was damaged by a lower back movement, which caused her to lose consciousness below the chest. That day, the girl went to dance class as usual, made a low waist movement, and suddenly fell down when she got up, losing consciousness from below her ribs. After going to the hospital for examination, the doctor's diagnosis made the child's parents miserable, and the little girl was paralyzed. Through CT, it was found that there was no obvious fracture and dislocation in her leg, which should be nerve injury. And this little girl's situation is not a case.
What should we pay attention to when dancing in order to avoid such incidents?
1, warm up before dancing.
Experts said that in dance movements, bending and forking are common and difficult movements, which are easy to cause damage to children's muscles. If you don't warm up before lowering your waist, you will start to exercise only when the waist muscles, joint ligaments and meniscus are stiff, which may cause acute lumbar muscle strain, especially in cold winter. If this action is carried out at this time, it will increase its danger. Split is also a common and difficult movement in dance. By separating the legs horizontally or vertically into a line, it requires high flexibility of the body. If the child does not practice properly, it is likely to cause muscle strain on the inner hip.
2. Dance practice should be moderate.
Children under 6 years old should not choose leg press and dangerous dance, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to children.
3. Do soothing movements after dancing.
In order to avoid cramps or injuries after dancing, you should do soothing movements after dancing, because your muscles are in a state of tension when dancing. Follow the teacher to do some soothing movements, relax the muscles of all parts of the body, and avoid cramps or injuries. This is a good protective measure.
What is the best age for children to learn dance?
1, children should not learn dance until they are 4 years old.
In life, many parents have the desire to change their children's temperament by learning dance, and some parents send their children who just learned doorways at the age of three or four to dance classes. In fact, learning dance is not as early as possible. Many adults' acquired spinal injuries are related to improper exercise when they are young. The principal of a dance technical secondary school said in an interview: "This year, we recruited 46 students, and 40 children found that their spine was bent when they entered the school for physical examination. These children come from all over the country, and most of them have three to five years of amateur training experience. "
As a hobby, children's dance does not require high physical conditions for children, as long as there are no serious physical defects, they can learn. However, dancing is physical training after all. Entering dance training too early is not good for children's muscle and bone development. It is generally believed that it is more scientific for a baby to learn dance systematically from the age of 4.
2. It is suggested that 10- 12 years old start professional training.
"10- 12 years old is suitable for dancing. This statement is more scientific and is the best time to enter professional training. At this stage, the children's bones are still in the growth and development period, but the bones are relatively complete and can withstand a certain intensity of dance training, which is also the age of entering the high school attached to the professional dance academy. " Tong Cheng, vice president of Henan ballroom dancing association and national first-class referee, said.
Experts believe that "if children feel sore limbs after each dance, it means that the intensity of exercise is high, which is not conducive to the growth and development of children."
Foreign sports medicine experts suggest that formal sports training, including ballet and swimming, should start at the age of seven or eight, while some difficult movements or activities that burden human tissues (such as toe of ballet) should wait until the age of 1 1 ~ 13.
Moderate exercise is good for children.
Excessive exercise has some adverse effects on children's growth and development, but moderate exercise is actually good for children's physique and height. "Daily longitudinal sports, such as swimming, skipping and running (but not long-distance running). Children who exercise from an early age may be 5 to 6 cm taller than their genetic height in the future, or even 10 cm. " Zhang Chun reminded that children must warm up before exercise, exercise step by step within the range of physical load, and don't exercise too hard at once. At the same time, children should learn more professional or more difficult movements under the guidance of professional teachers.
