People with diabetes are prone to muscle loss, and exercise at a moderate intensity. In the process of exercise, we should pay attention to doing what we can according to our own situation, step by step. If you have palpitation, fatigue, dizziness, chest tightness and other discomforts, you should stop exercising immediately and rest in place. If it is severe and cannot be relieved, seek medical help immediately.
7. Outlook for future fitness trends
(1) More studies on invalid outcomes
In the field of sports science, there has long been a bias to publish only positive research results, which has led to the misleading effect of almost all fitness methods. France researchers have found that tests of high-heat-capacity foam mattresses to improve sleep quality after strenuous exercise are ineffective, which is good news. We should be happy to see results that don’t work, because it allows us to avoid wasting time and money on ineffective workouts. In the future, sports science needs to pay more attention to the study of ineffective results to help people more accurately choose the right workout method for themselves.
(2) Strength and endurance are taken into account
Strength and endurance hybrid athletes want to have both strength and endurance, but the sports science community has long been puzzled by the alleged interference effect. Adequate nutrition, especially protein, and intervals between workouts, such as strength training instead of endurance training, are one of the solutions. A growing body of evidence suggests that combining strength and endurance is beneficial for both health and longevity. For example, in a fitness program, one day for strength training, such as weightlifting, and another day for endurance training, such as long-distance running, can be scheduled, avoiding continuous strength and endurance training to give the body enough time to recover. At the same time, adjust your nutritional intake according to your personal situation to ensure that your body has enough energy to support the development of strength and endurance.
(3) Changes in carbohydrate intake
Recently, Tour de France riders took carbohydrate intake to new heights, reaching 120 grams per hour, about double the maximum recommended intake by sports nutritionists 10 years ago. Scientists are testing the scheme, and the practice is being rolled out to other sports such as triathlon and extreme long-distance running. Consuming so many carbohydrates requires training the digestive system and using a specially formulated blend of carbohydrates. With the exception of elite athletes who compete in extreme endurance competitions, there is no need for the average person to do this. But it’s a reminder that the sports science community is constantly evolving, and even marathon runners may benefit from increasing their carbohydrate intake while racing. For example, before a long-distance running race, you can increase your carbohydrate intake to increase your body’s energy reserves.
