It is well known that Taekwondo has many benefits for health management.
Needless to say, health is the most precious wealth of the human body. Regarding the importance of the human body and keeping healthy, the ancients thought that the human body was obtained from parents from head to toe, so people who didn't neglect or damage the body were called dutiful sons. They think that the body is not their own, but their parents'. Confucius said that parents are most concerned about the health of their children. Therefore, keeping children healthy is a kind of love for parents and a way of filial piety to parents.
Therefore, one of the greatest evils for human beings is to damage health.
In fact, nothing is more important than health. If you get sick again, your property, reputation, power and beauty will lose their luster. So don't neglect health management. In order to illustrate the important role of Taekwondo in health, here is a paper on "Taekwondo and Health" published by Dr. Robert Esani, who is also a Taekwondo master.
Taekwondo is different from the weight-bearing exercise that shows strength, and it is not to adjust large and prominent muscles. Instead, it turns weak adipose tissue into muscle and makes the body light and agile.
The gap between blood vessels is opened by developed weight and moving muscles. Because the number of blood vessels remains the same, it is impossible to add new blood vessels between the expanded blood vessels. In this way, through oxygen inhalation and blood flow, the difficulty of excreta generation in human body is eliminated. Therefore, Mr. Brown, M.D., suggested that unnecessary large muscles should be trained into flexible muscles, so that the body can get more blood and improve the maximum endurance and health level.
Taekwondo is to kick, flash, attack or defend with one hand, and pull the other hand in the opposite direction to make the muscles of the lower abdomen stronger. And by lifting and kicking, exercise the muscles of the side waist and the inner thigh.
Taekwondo is especially good for women because, as mentioned above, it can fully exercise the lower abdomen, waist and thighs, develop the muscles of the whole body in a balanced way, and keep women young and beautiful. Taekwondo can restore the sagging abdominal, waist and inner thigh muscles of women after delivery, and has a unique role in reshaping healthy body and balancing body shape. In this way, Taekwondo is the most ideal martial art for health preservation and feminine beauty.
Not only that, Taekwondo has the following advantages through scientific practice and extensive whole-body exercise, as Dr. Kebos said, increasing the pulse and increasing the oxygen demand of the heart and lungs for a long time:
Smooth lung activity.
1. dilate blood vessels, reduce blood flow resistance, and reduce blood pressure of cardiac dilator.
2. Increase blood supply, especially red blood cells and hemoglobin.
3. Supply more oxygen to make body tissues healthier.
4. Strengthen the heart and be able to resist any impact.
5. Make sleep stable and easy to eliminate excrement.
6. Taekwondo not only makes thin people gain muscle, on the contrary, obese people reduce fat and return their weight to normal. Taekwondo is different from ordinary sports activities. Doing strenuous exercise will consume 600 calories per hour, and it takes 3500 calories to lose a pound. Therefore, if you practice for an hour every day, you will lose a catty in a week.
Mr. McRoy, MD, pointed out that practicing Taekwondo has the following advantages:
1. It is good for building strong muscles.
2. Cultivate initiative and the ability to cope with any difficulties.
3. Cultivate the ability to change direction.
4. Cultivate the ability of the body to move quickly from one place to another in a certain space.
5. Make joints, muscles and tendons more flexible and rhythmic.
6. Developed peripheral nerves and vision.
7. Cultivate concentration and eliminate distractions.
8. Learn the methods and skills of moving your body.
Through the practice of "focusing" on one part, you can cultivate strong muscles, perfect balance and explosiveness. Practice with basic movements and patterns, cultivate agility and the ability to exchange different movements at the same time, and enhance the courage and ability to cope.
Warm-up before exercise can increase blood volume, make blood circulation smooth, make muscles and blood vessels tough, and make joints and blood vessels soft. Therefore, you won't get hurt when practicing martial arts. After training, you should do physical exercise, and the second exercise is the blood and liquid accumulated in the muscles caused by strenuous exercise to restore the original state. If you don't take physical exercise, you will feel stiff all over.
In Taekwondo, this kind of exercise and breathing before and after exercise can be said to be scientific from the perspective of body structure and physiology.
When attacking, shout "Ah!" Not only to overwhelm the opponent's momentum, but also to make the muscles of the lower abdomen flex and defend against unexpected counterattacks. But also can eliminate bad air in the lungs and increase vital capacity and lung function. At the same time, for example, when a weightlifter or freestyle wrestler is doing strenuous exercise, the blood pressure in the chest is evenly distributed by deliberately exhaling or shouting, so that the important organs of the body are not harmed. The same is true of shouting when practicing Taekwondo.
From what has been said above, we can see that Taekwondo is of great help to sensitivity and attention, vision and muscle development, and cardiopulmonary activities. But also can be more agile in other general sports activities.
Therefore, Taekwondo is considered as a sport suitable for men, women and children.
Besides protecting yourself, learning Taekwondo should also become a part of everyone's life for the sake of health benefits and the satisfaction of learning ancient Wushu.
