Is aerobics suitable for everyone? What are the dangers of doing aerobics for unsuitable people? Who is “Compendium of Materia Medica” suitable for? For people who are not suitable for this exercise, how should they choose the action?
Zheng Suming, director of the Department of Sports Medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that the “Compendium of Materia Medica Aerobics” has a strong sense of rhythm and a large range of movements. From the point of view of an orthopaedic surgeon, this kind of aerobics is not particularly suitable for some people, such as people with poor cardiopulmonary function, poor knee and ankle joint activities, and trauma. Friends with poor balance ability are more likely to fall and cause fractures, so it is generally not recommended to recommend such a strong exercise.
