What reason is running abdominal pain?

summary

Many people in running, there will be more than one "fork" (or side pain). This kind of pain often appears in the right lower abdomen, located just below the ribs, manifested as severe localized pain. It is especially common in runners. Some athletes slow down and walk slowly until the pain disappears. What reason is running abdominal pain? Let's talk about it.

What reason is running abdominal pain?

Some studies believe that running and swimming are the most prone to ETAP. The symptoms were localized pain in the right or left lower abdomen. This kind of pain is often affected by the physical function of athletes, but has nothing to do with their gender and body mass index. Middle aged and old athletes seldom have ETAP.

The most important cause of ETAP seems to be regular meals before exercise. A research report points out that before and during exercise, drinking reconstituted fruit juice and high carbohydrate, high osmotic pressure (concentration index) drinks can induce "fork in the air", especially for people who are sensitive to these drinks.

Intense exercise and uneven breathing vibrate and stretch these ligaments. Athletes often exhale every two or four steps. Most people exhale when they land on their left foot, but a few exhale when they land on their right foot. The reason why people who exhale on the right foot may be that exhaling on the right foot increases the stress on the liver (just below the right rib).

matters needing attention

Control the meal time before exercise, so that food can be digested before exercise. Secondly, avoid drinking reconstituted juice and high carbohydrate, high osmotic pressure drinks before and during exercise. Stretching exercise can relieve the pain caused by "fork". Raise your right arm, straighten it up and lean to the left. For 30 seconds, relax, then stretch on the other side. You can also slow down until the pain is relieved.
