The injuries accumulated over the past three years were spoken of in a calm manner by Quanmei. It really hurt my heart.
is only 17 years old. No one can succeed easily.
Athletes all have injuries, but Xiaohong didn’t mention them in the interview. If it’s not easy to jump, they should go back and exercise more! Come back next time!
Coach He still expressed his feelings for her, otherwise everyone would have thought she was not injured.
My teenage sister has won so many gold medals, made countless efforts, and suffered many injuries.
There is no random success, it is all achieved through hard work and training! Quanmei has so many old injuries at such a young age! It’s not easy. I hope everyone can stay away from pain!
What exactly is the "bandage" on athletes' bodies?
During this Paris Olympics, many netizens noticed that many athletes wore "bandages" on their bodies. Quan Hongchan's "bandage" even wraps from the ankle to the heel.
The "bandage" on athletes is actually a kind of elastic therapeutic patch, generally called "muscle patch". Clinically, the technology of using this patch for treatment is called "kinesio patch technology" or "intramuscular patch". Effective (cloth) taping technology” (kinesio taping).
In the 1970s, with the original design intention of "a new type of tape that imitates the elasticity of human skin", Japanese chiropractor Dr. Kase invented the muscle patch.
muscle patch is mainly composed of drug-free waterproof elastic cloth, medical acrylic adhesive (acrylic adhesive), and lining paper (release material, backing paper). Its elastic material and acrylic surface enable the muscle patch to simulate skin, which helps the muscle patch provide vertical "vertical stress" and horizontal "shear force" to the body from different directions. Such "force" can pull up skin or subcutaneous tissue to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. In addition, the skin patch uses hypoallergenic medical acrylic glue instead of latex, and people with sensitive skin (such as children) can also tolerate it to a certain extent.
Muscle tape was widely promoted through the Olympic Games
After the muscle tape was invented, many athletes and physical therapists began to use it, but the large-scale promotion of muscle tape still depends on the Olympic Games.
At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the Japanese national team used muscle patches for the first time, making more people aware of the existence of muscle patches.
0 years later, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, high-level athletes from 58 countries used Kinesio Taping technology. The attention of the Olympics and the maturity of television broadcast technology provided conditions for the wider promotion of Kinesiology Taping. Kinesio Taping has since been More ordinary people know and use it, and it really becomes popular. It also relieves pain, but muscle patches ≠ plasters
Sometimes our muscles or joints are injured, and many patients will choose to apply some traditional plasters to relieve pain. So, here comes the question, for the same pain relief, what is the difference between traditional plasters and the colorful muscle patches used by athletes?
Traditional plasters contain pharmaceutical ingredients, which are absorbed on the surface of the skin to reduce swelling and relieve pain; muscle patches generally do not contain pharmaceutical ingredients and use the elasticity of the patch itself and special gel lines to shrink the skin, reducing swelling and analgesic. effect.
