What is the reason for frequent stitches in the side? Pay attention to this in your daily life

Exercise is good for human health, but if you don’t exercise regularly, you will easily get a stitch in the side when you exercise. Some people can even get a stitch in the side just by stretching without doing much exercise. Why is this? What should I do?

Frequent stitches in the side are caused by lack of exercise. Don’t drink too much water when you just get up to exercise. Rehydrate appropriately after exercise. Warm up before exercise and avoid strenuous exercise directly.

main reason:

1. Not doing warm-up exercises carefully before running. During intense middle and long distance running, the heart is too inert to quickly adapt to the rapid muscle work, which can cause dysfunction of certain abdominal organs and result in local pain.

2. There is no rhythm in breathing when running, which causes breathing disorders. It disrupts the coordinated relationship between breathing and blood circulation, causing blood stasis and hypoxia in the liver, spleen, stomach and intestines, or "stuck in breath" due to spasms of small respiratory muscles.

3. Due to the long-term vibration of the gastrointestinal tract, the normal peristalsis pattern is changed, the gas and food in the intestine accumulate together and stimulate the intestinal nerves, or due to excessive sweating and excessive excretion of salt in the body with sweat, gastrointestinal spasm is caused.

4. Doing middle or long-distance running immediately after a meal or drinking water will cause excessive stretching of the gastrointestinal mesentery, causing pain. Prevention: Slow down, adjust your breathing rhythm, and deepen your breathing. The rhythm of breathing and running should be coordinated. Generally, it is two steps for one inhale and two steps for one exhale. There are also two steps for two inhales and two steps for one exhale, or three steps for one breath. During each breathing cycle, focus on exhaling actively, which creates a greater negative pressure in the lungs. That is, it expel waste gas as much as possible, promote the inhalation process to save effort and increase the exhalation volume. Breathe through your nose and mouth at the same time. In middle and long distance running, you should not hold your breath at the start or sprint, and you should increase your breathing from the beginning of the race to avoid adding unnecessary oxygen debt at the beginning and causing fatigue to occur early.
