1 eye
In diving, in order to ensure the accuracy of the movement, athletes must open their eyes wide when entering the water, which makes their eyes strongly impacted by the water surface, and retinal damage will lead to decreased vision or even blindness. Guo Jingjing 200 1 was forced to rest for two months after surgery for retinal rupture in the right eye. Now her right eye vision is only 0.2, and Olympic champion Sun was forced to retire due to an eye injury.
2, internal organs
If the diving posture is not correct, it is easy to let the stomach hit the water first, which may hurt the internal organs and even have fatal consequences such as spleen rupture.
3. Cervical spine injury
The incidence of cervical spine injury in divers is very high. Cervical spine injury mainly refers to cervical spine fracture and subluxation, and local fractures and dislocations of the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae are more common. Spinal cord injury is often complicated with fracture, and its clinical manifestation is quadriplegia. According to the statistics of some hospitals, the incidence of spinal cord injury can reach about 50%, the incidence of complications of spinal cord injury can reach about 50%, less than half of traumatic paraplegia can be recovered, and the mortality rate is also very high, reaching 15-20%, especially complete paraplegia.
Preventing these occupational diseases is the most concerned issue for athletes, and it is also our most concerned issue. It is very important to warm up correctly when diving. After the exercise, apply ice to the injured part, take painkillers when necessary, take a full rest and massage the eyes, pay attention to the hygiene of swimming water, strengthen health education and disinfection measures, and do a good job in the management of imported food. Adjust mental state and eliminate tension. Female athletes should pay attention to sports hygiene in special periods. Although diving is a beautiful sport, it is very popular with everyone, but behind this beautiful sport lies the sadness of athletes, because an carelessness may cause injuries to athletes, so it should be regarded as a very dangerous sport. The training of athletes is very hard. Behind the medals are efforts that we can't see, so whether we win the gold medal or not, it is worth applauding and cheering.
