What are the dangers of children pulling their legs?

In modern life, parents give their children a very comprehensive education. They usually let their children learn other skills in their spare time while they are studying. Dance is a skill that parents often let their children learn. The first basic skill in learning dance is leg stretching, but many parents are worried that this training method will have some impact on their children. So, what are the dangers of children pulling their legs?

First, what are the dangers of children stretching their legs? Please observe how many tall people are involved in sports such as Shaolin and other sports that require regular leg stretching? Stretching the legs is only to stretch the ligaments, but this method causes the ligaments to be injured and healed continuously, causing long-term fatigue and sending a wrong signal to the body's development. The body is constantly in the process of recovery. Growth is mainly bone growth. Running and jumping put gravity into the leg bones, giving them the ability to withstand this gravity, thereby allowing them to accumulate calcium and become thicker and longer.

Second, during the growth and development process, forced stretching of ligaments in any part of the body is not beneficial to bone growth. It only makes the ligaments looser and less elastic. Correct, non-professional forced stretching should be done after children have grown up. Stretching for children during their growth process mainly plays an auxiliary role, such as slightly moving the legs and wrists and jumping before jumping and running to serve as a warm-up. Stretching the legs vigorously may cause leg injuries due to possible ligament injuries during jumping and running. I remember a reporter interviewed Yao Ming's coach at the time and he said that Yao Ming was not allowed to do such exercises when he was growing taller.

What are the dangers of stretching the legs for children? But stretching the legs does have certain benefits. The leg press is also a great warm-up and/or cool-down exercise. The leg press is a great warm-up or cool-down exercise when combined with other types of training. Stretching the legs can improve the coordination of the nervous system and muscle tissue, and eliminate the stiffness and heaviness of the body before exercise, especially the morning stiffness after getting up in the morning. In addition to the benefits discussed above, flexibility exercises can also improve the coordination between the nervous system and muscle tissue.

If you start flexibility training immediately after doing a certain exercise, your tired body can recover as soon as possible. Be sure to warm up before stretching your legs. It is best to stretch your legs after exercise, such as jogging, skipping rope, walking, etc. When you first practice leg stretching, you should increase the height of your legs from low to high, step by step, and don't rush it. Each time you stretch your legs, the time should not be too long. You should alternate between left and right, 5-10 minutes each time.
