What should I do if I get angry while running?

Many people have experienced short-term chest or abdominal pain during running, which is also commonly known as "fork gas". Most of the pain occurs in the upper abdomen near the left rib or the lower right side of the abdomen.

Next, we will analyze it from three aspects: the cause, prevention and treatment.

There is no clear conclusion about the reasons for the differences. The following are some convincing theories in recent years:

1. Diet types and eating time before exercise. Drinking high-sugar and hypertonic drinks before and during exercise can lead to phlegm.

2, respiratory muscle spasm or stimulation. The main respiratory muscles of human body are intercostal muscle and diaphragm. If the working intensity of respiratory muscles increases sharply during running, it will lead to excessive fatigue of intercostal muscles or diaphragm, and then muscle spasm will occur. In addition, if you breathe too shallow and too fast during running, you will also have respiratory muscle spasm due to frequent contraction and fatigue. In addition, the temperature is low, and the excessive stimulation of cold air on respiratory muscles during running can also cause convulsions.

3. Repeated stretching of ligament between diaphragm and internal organs (especially liver) during running. This reason is related to the breathing frequency during running. Because the liver is located under the right side of the chest, if the right foot exhales at the same time, the diaphragm will move up and the liver will fall because of the support of the right foot. Repeated stretching of ligament will make diaphragm spasm, leading to bifurcation.

If you exhale when your right foot lands, the diaphragm will move up and the liver will fall because of the support of your right foot landing.

How to prevent bifurcation?

1. Strengthen diaphragm and abdominal muscles.

2. Avoid running immediately after meals.

3. Avoid drinking drinks with high sugar or osmotic pressure before or during exercise, which can reduce the chance of side breathing.

4. Be fully prepared to let the respiratory muscles gradually adapt to the faster contraction frequency.

5. During running, the breathing rhythm should be combined with the running frequency. Suggest two steps, one call, two steps, one suction or two steps, one call, three steps and one suction.

6. Try to breathe through your nose when running in cold weather. If you need to breathe through your mouth, it is recommended that your mouth be slightly opened to let air enter through your teeth, so that cold air can pass through your mouth and be moist, reducing the stimulation of cold air on your breathing muscles.

If you have breathing problems during running, you can try the following methods, which can effectively relieve the pain.

1, reduce the running speed or change to walking, and then continue running after the pain is relieved.

2. Press or forcibly press the painful part and bend over to stretch and relax the diaphragm.

3. Raise your hands and take a deep breath, and gradually relax your breathing muscles.
