01
Avoid tug of war
tug of war
Tug-of-war requires holding your breath hard, sometimes holding your breath for more than ten seconds at a time. When the breath is suddenly changed from holding the breath to exhaling, the venous blood flow will suddenly flow to the atrium, damaging the child’s atrial wall.
Tug of war may also damage the child’s “muscles and bones”. In childhood, muscles mainly grow vertically, the strength to fix the joints is weak, and the bones have large elasticity and low hardness. Tug-of-war can easily cause joint dislocation and soft tissue damage, inhibit bone growth, and even lead to limb deformation in severe cases, affecting body shape.

Avoid early strength training
Premature strength training
First, it will make the local muscles too strong, affecting the symmetrical development of all parts of the body; second, it will make the muscles develop prematurely, causing a heavy burden on the heart and other organs; third, it may also make the local muscles stiff and lose their normal elasticity .
Therefore, do not let your child perform strength training such as pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups too early. Exercises for training muscle strength are more suitable from the first and second grades of junior high school.
