The college entrance examination is a crucial node for every candidate and his or her family. During this period before the exam, candidates are under great mental pressure. Many candidates and parents are worried about physical exercise. Physical exercise will squeeze the candidates' review time on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is dangerous. If a muscle or bone is injured, it will affect the exam.

In fact, choosing the right exercise program before the exam can not only improve the body's immunity and disease resistance, but also regulate the candidate's nervousness, improve the physiological and psychological state, and facilitate pre-exam review and exam performance. Here are some suggestions for doing physical exercise before the exam, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Choose the right exercise

The choice of exercise before the exam varies from person to person. The actual situation of each candidate is different, and the sports, amount of exercise and exercise method should also be different. Children who usually do less exercise can just increase the amount of exercise before the exam and choose a relatively gentle exercise method, such as calisthenics, brisk walking, etc. Children who usually like exercise can just maintain their usual exercise method and amount during this period. It is not recommended to try some new exercise methods. In addition, avoid competitive basketball and football games before the exam.

For most candidates, it is more appropriate to do aerobic exercise of low intensity before the exam. This kind of exercise allows sufficient breathing, has a mild stimulation to the human body, and can regulate the excitement of the brain. Walking, jogging, a small amount of regular cycling or climbing stairs, as well as playing table tennis and swimming are all good choices. In addition, flexibility training is also very good, which can ensure that the body is in a better state. The specific method is to stand, take a deep breath, and then stretch all parts of the body as much as possible until a sore feeling is produced.

Make good use of your time for exercise

Due to time constraints before the exam, it is difficult for candidates to have too much time to concentrate on exercise. Therefore, during the preparation stage, the best way is to "make use of every opportunity" and exercise appropriately when there is time.

For example, in the morning, you can do aerobic exercises such as walking and jogging in parks and other places with fresh air. During the 10 minutes between classes, you can go to the playground to stretch, turn your neck, bask in the sun, and do some simple stretching exercises to relax your shoulders, neck and limbs that are stiff due to long-term sitting and studying, and also relax your eyes and brain. In the evening, you can jog, swim, ride a bike, and play some non-confrontational ball games after dinner according to your usual exercise habits. The intensity and duration of exercise vary from person to person, and you can achieve the purpose of relaxation.

Warming up before exercise is very important

Effective warm-up activities fully mobilize the functions of the nervous system and internal organs, which can help candidates avoid sports injuries to the greatest extent and achieve better sports results. If there is enough time, it is ideal to do half an hour of stretching exercises before each exercise. If time does not allow, you can do a set of short stretching exercises in a shorter period of 10 minutes to relieve excessive muscle tension and fatigue.

In addition, do not eat within two hours before exercise, especially before high-intensity exercise. It is not recommended to eat greasy puffed foods. Do not drink a lot of water before exercise.

Scientifically replenish water after exercise

The weather is hot now, and people often feel dry mouth and tongue after exercise. At this time, try not to drink various beverages, such as soda, etc.; drink boiled water or 1% light salt water to remove heat and summer heat, and replenish the sodium lost by the human body due to excessive sweating. Avoid drinking too cold water after exercise. Because drinking too cold water will strongly stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, cause gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasm, sudden blood vessel contraction, cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, and lead to indigestion.

In addition, you should avoid taking a shower immediately after exercise. It is recommended to rest for 30 minutes before taking a warm shower. For areas that have undergone more exercise than usual, you can massage them yourself to speed up lactic acid metabolism and avoid pain.
