Can women skip rope during menstruation?

Some girls like to do sports very much, and exercise is indispensable at any time. For example, when they have their period, many girls insist on skipping rope. Some elderly people are very worried, fearing that if they exercise during this special period of menstruation, it will seriously affect their health. Can women skip rope when they have their period? The following is a detailed discussion on this issue.

In fact, for women who are healthy and have certain exercise habits, proper exercise during menstruation will not have any side effects, but will be beneficial to the body. Women should pay attention to controlling the amount of exercise during menstruation. Exercise is not absolutely prohibited during menstruation, but high-intensity and high-volume exercise (such as long-distance running, jumping, sit-ups, etc.) should be avoided or reduced as much as possible in the early stages of menstruation to avoid aggravating dysmenorrhea or increasing bleeding. Appropriate exercise during menstruation helps balance the nervous system, promotes blood circulation, helps the abdominal and pelvic muscles contract and relax, facilitates smoother menstrual blood discharge, and can also play a certain role in relieving dysmenorrhea.

How should women exercise during menstruation?

During menstruation, many women experience physical discomfort. Therefore, three days before your period, you can decide the form of exercise according to your own situation, focusing on gentle, soothing, relaxing and stretching exercises, such as meditative yoga, elementary body gymnastics, or just doing some simple stretching exercises at home. These light exercises help the blood flow smoothly in the body and relieve stress.

During exercise, be sure to avoid putting pressure on the abdominal cavity and avoid raising the legs too high. If you feel tired or notice a sudden increase or decrease in bleeding, stop exercising immediately.

On the fifth day of the menstrual period, the body begins to recover and you can start doing aerobic exercises such as slow walking and jogging. However, you should still avoid some ball games and heavy weight sports.

Reminder: The above analysis is based on normal situations, and women with special circumstances are not included.

What precautions should be taken when exercising during menstruation?
