Children are the hope of a family, and every child in a family needs special care from their parents in order to grow up healthy. Many parents have the habit of exercising at night, so they also bring their children to exercise at night. But many parents actually don't know whether their children are good at exercising at night. So, is it good for children to exercise at night? What should children pay attention to when exercising at night?
1、 Is it good for the child to exercise at night
Choosing exercises that are suitable for a child's physical condition and stamina, and persisting in them, is beneficial for bone development. For example, horizontal bar exercise is beneficial for the development of the spine and upper and lower limbs. In addition, jogging, high jump, long jump, and skipping rope are also beneficial for growing taller. Especially exercising for a while before going to bed, such as skipping rope for 10 minutes, can increase the secretion of growth hormone in children during sleep. It is also beneficial to take children outdoors for activities or sunbathing, as it is beneficial for bone development. However, excessive exercise is not beneficial for height increase.
2、 Issues that children need to pay attention to when exercising at night
1. Do not exercise for two hours before going to bed
Many people think that after exercising, they should give it a good rinse and then enter sleep, which is beneficial for regulating the body. Actually, it's not like that. Even if it's good to exercise at night, time should also be remembered.
Generally speaking, do not exercise for two hours before bedtime. For example, if you go to bed at 10 pm and do not exercise after 8 pm, it may seem like exercising before bedtime can make you tired. However, after exercising, the cerebral cortex will be in a highly excited state, which will continue into sleep and cause sleep problems, affecting normal rest.
2. Act within one's means
When exercising at night, don't force yourself. The app on your phone will record how many steps you run every day. Don't run more distances every day just to break the record, which exceeds your body's capacity.
Exercise also requires gradual and measured running. If one suddenly increases their training volume, it often makes the body unable to cope and causes problems with body regulation. When you increase your physical activity too much, it often causes muscle soreness, reduced urination, and even the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis, which is undoubtedly a very bad situation.
3. Do not run at night on pedestrian crossings
The location for night running is a very important choice. Generally speaking, when running at night, do not choose the road, as there may be certain safety hazards when cars come and go on the road.
Similarly, it is best not to run at night on the sidewalks on both sides of the road. On the one hand, it is unsafe, and on the other hand, passing motor vehicles are prone to producing exhaust gas. If such exhaust gas is inhaled into the body, it can easily cause respiratory diseases.
The best night running venue is still a well lit park or school track, which is very helpful for maintaining good health.
This article provides a detailed introduction to whether it is good for children to exercise at night, as well as some issues that children need to pay attention to when exercising at night. As a qualified parent, you must protect your child. Exercising at night helps with sleep, and there are many issues that children need to pay attention to when exercising at night. Parents and friends must take care of their children.
