Can you deal with accidental injuries during riding?
Cycling is a very good fitness and leisure sport, but this kind of outdoor sports is dangerous.

(1) Knee pain cycling is a very ideal exercise for the knee.
Doctors will also recommend people with bad knees to exercise by cycling.
However, research shows that if riders do not operate properly, their knees will also be injured.
After cycling for two hours, their knees need to be bent about 10000 times.
If they feel pain, they can ice their knees, but only for 20 minutes.
The main reason is to make them feel better Protect your knees with the right way of pedaling; Do the right warm-up.
When it is cold, the human body sends blood back to the heart, and the blood circulation at the joints decreases.

Sometimes the pain extends to your legs.
The more you ride, the stronger the muscles on your back; the abdominal and back muscles support your waist, so you should pay attention to exercising these parts during training; high-quality double shock-absorbing bicycles can also help reduce it Pain in the waist.
(3) Neck pain if you stretch your neck for a long time, the muscles on your neck will feel sore.
If this happens during cycling, you should first check whether the posture of cycling is correct.
Note that the brim of your hat should not be pressed too low, which will raise your head abnormally and aggravate the muscle tension of your neck.
Wear professional anti-skid glasses to avoid the glasses falling down caused by sweating and the hat The same problem as lowering the eaves.
The upper body is stretched very straight, and then the back is arched, which will keep the neck muscles in a tense state all the time! Don’t hold the handlebars too tightly, and the elbows and shoulders should sink; Relax all over the body to ensure flexible upper body movement.
If the pain is severe, ask a massage doctor for massage or physical therapy, which can alleviate the neck pain.
If the pain persists, you need to find a spinal massage doctor to massage and set the bone.
(4) Skin abrasions skin abrasions are not serious.
They are only caused by capillary damage and blood infiltration into the surrounding muscle tissue.
However, if dust, sand and other foreign matters enter the wound, they will cause wound infection! Erect the abraded area to help prevent bleeding.
The wound needs to be cleaned with a brush.
In order to keep the wound clean, wear wide clothes Relax.
Intensive dose, tetanus vaccine.
(5) Skin inflammation in this case, the rider will feel very uncomfortable.
The inflamed places are usually the groin, inner thigh, nipple, feet and neck! Pay attention to personal hygiene, keep the medicine box clean, and timely carry out antibacterial treatment on the body and clothes.
Before departure, wipe the inflamed parts with vaseline and tea tree oil for lubrication and protective treatment.
For example If the weather is warmer, wear thinner and looser clothes.
(6) Sunburn is skin damage and inflammation caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays.
After sunburn, the skin first turns red, bursts, and then peels, sometimes accompanied by burning, itching, and even blisters! Apply sunscreen on the face, nose, arms, arms, neck, ears, exposed legs and other parts.
The tissue at the scar is very sensitive to the sun, If there are scars, cover them with clothes and other things.
Wear leg and arm covers on legs and arms.
Calamine and ice can help relieve sunburn.
Insist on using good quality moisturizer to relieve symptoms and keep the sunburned parts moist.
(7) Acne acne is an abscess.
It is very painful.
It mostly occurs between the legs.
It is developed from the damage of the skin epidermis caused by the friction and extrusion between the skin and the seat cushion.
Sometimes it is caused by endogenous hair.
These prickles are easy to fester after being infected by sweat.
Therefore, it is impossible to ride a bike within one or two days after acne! Buy high-quality bicycles OK, shorts.
After riding, take off your sweat soaked shorts and change into clean and dry clothes immediately after taking a shower.
If you have acne, when the acne matures, cut it open, squeeze out the pus, and then disinfect it.
At the same time, remove the hairs on the infected part with hot wax to avoid the deterioration of acne.
However, when you encounter an unusual situation, you must not be self righteous to deal with it.
The following is an example of what happened to a rider.
On a ride, the team encountered an emergency.
One team member was injured, and the other team member did not listen to the advice and went to help the injured knead their feet, massage and so on.
They were sent to the hospital for examination.
The results showed that the injured had fracture and dislocation.
Therefore, in case of acute injury, it is not clear where the specific injury is.
Once it is not handled properly, it will bring greater trauma to the injured.
At this time, we must calmly comfort the injured, The simplest treatment is to apply ice or cold water immediately (this method is not available if the wound is bleeding), and then wait 120 or send it to a nearby hospital for treatment.
We are not doctors and do not know how to deal with these injured professionally.
Do not move the injured or massage the injured on our own.
In case of injury and bleeding, we should be careful and simply help the injured to stop bleeding with tape or cloth tape And then immediately sent to a nearby hospital for treatment, and then sent to an authoritative hospital for treatment after emergency treatment..
