Do farmers need physical exercise to do farm work every day?
As soon as you see the problem, you know that you don't know the difference between doing farm work and physical exercise. It is a misunderstanding that you don't understand the essence and significance of physical exercise to equate doing farm work with physical exercise. In any kind of physical labor, there is always some muscle activity, and the other part is relatively less, that is, muscle activity has certain limitations. Although farm work can play a certain role in strengthening the body, it can relieve mental stress, consume excess calories and prevent excess calories from being converted into fat, thus reducing blood lipids, but the production characteristics and labor methods determine that manual labor is mostly manifested as a single repetitive exercise, which is easy to make people feel tired and even suffer from occupational diseases for many years. Such as long-term monotonous bending action, it is easy to cause lumbar muscle strain; Standing for a long time can easily lead to varicose veins of lower limbs. Physical exercise is a kind of balanced and coordinated exercise, which can not only make the muscles of the whole body exercise symmetrically, but also enhance people's cardiopulmonary function, help to eliminate fatigue, enhance physical fitness and prevent occupational diseases. At the same time, manual workers may be carried out in noisy, dirty, high and low temperatures and other unhealthy environments, while physical exercise can be carried out in a fresh, quiet and healthy environment. Therefore, the two cannot be equated with farm work and cannot replace physical exercise. So, how do agricultural workers exercise? Agricultural workers should pay attention to a certain part of the body that lacks activity. If the upper limb is the main force in the labor process, then we should focus on the lower limb when choosing fitness programs; On the contrary, you should exercise your upper limbs more. For example, farmers who often bend over to work get relatively little exercise in their respiratory system. During physical exercise, we should consciously do more breathing, chest expansion and stretching exercises to enhance respiratory function and increase vital capacity. We should also arrange the exercise time scientifically and reasonably according to our own production characteristics, preferably five times a week for 30 minutes of moderate exercise or three times a week for 20 minutes of strong physical activity. Of course, agricultural workers should take part in sports activities within their power according to time and local conditions. If conditions permit, you can play ball games and play chess in your spare time; If there are no conditions, it is best for your health to keep walking at a brisk pace.
