Patient's question:
Which sports can be performed during menstruation without harming the body?Doctor's answer:
During the menstrual period, it is best to pay attention to the following points:1. Reduce exercise intensity. Participate in activities you usually practice regularly, such as jogging, gymnastics, boxing, table tennis, and shooting.
2. Shorten the duration of exercise. Slow down and focus on recovery-based workouts. In terms of time, 10 to 30 minutes is ideal, depending on your personal condition.
3. Avoid intense and highly vibrating exercises. Activities like high jumping, long jumping, push-ups, and dumbbell workouts that increase abdominal pressure should be avoided during menstruation to prevent excessive bleeding or changes in uterine position.
4. Avoid various water-based activities, such as swimming or water aerobics, to prevent infections.
5. Avoid competitive sports. Engaging in these activities during menstruation can easily lead to endocrine dysfunction due to high mental stress, resulting in menstrual disorders.
