Why does my stomach hurt when I hula hoop?

Hula hoop used to be a very popular bodybuilding sport, and many people are very fond of it, no matter they are adults or children. However, some people have stomach pain when jumping rope, which is very worrying. So, why does skipping rope cause stomach pain?

The first thing we consider when experiencing abdominal pain after skipping rope is that it may be because the hula hoop damages the abdominal muscles, causing pain caused by damage to the soft tissue of the abdominal muscles. It may also be because the exercise of the abdominal muscles causes an increase in lactic acid bacteria in the muscles, and muscle fatigue causes soreness in the abdominal muscles. Secondly, considering that the abdomen is in the process of exercise, it is also possible to cause secondary gastrointestinal disturbances, which in turn causes gastrointestinal cramps and abdominal pain.

Then consider that if there are actual space-occupying lesions that have not been detected, there is a high possibility of rupture after exercise or for women, because there may be ovarian cysts, ovarian cyst pedicle torsion and corpus luteum rupture caused pain after exercise. If the pain occurs and the symptoms are gradually relieved after appropriate rest and warm compress on the abdomen, it should be considered that the first two reasons are caused. If the pain symptoms gradually worsen, the last reason should be considered. It is recommended to see a doctor immediately.

Skipping rope FAQ

Rope skipping is not suitable for more than 20 minutes

It is very important to control the time of skipping rope. Generally speaking, 15 to 20 minutes of continuous exercise is best for normal adults. Otherwise, the waist and abdomen will be constantly collided and twisted, and bruises will easily appear after exercise.

The hula hoop does not rotate too fast.

Spinning the hula hoop requires a long-term, steady speed exercise, without being too fast or impatient. The body feels relaxed and the breathing is smooth. The soles of the feet do not need to be too firm, and you can walk slightly to avoid fatigue of some muscles and joints caused by long-term repetitive exercise. Hula hoop can reduce waist and abdomen, but it is still regarded as a whole body exercise and is very healthy. You can also do a simple whole body relaxation by turning the hula hoop, and gently tap your waist and abdomen with your hands to allow blood circulation to flow smoothly.

Net weight of hula hoop

The hula hoop should not be too heavy. Generally speaking, if you are lighter and have weaker physical fitness, it is better to choose a lighter hula hoop. Don't use too much strength on a hula hoop that is too heavy, otherwise it will become excessive exercise, which will not only fail to lose weight, but will also cause soreness all over the body.
