What are the main purposes of ancient traditional sports in China? (1) Entertainment, health preservation, competitive ability, survival ability and adventure?

In order to enhance the survival ability, many sports in ancient China were aimed at Qiang Bing Wushu to meet the needs of the war.

Ancient sports in China can be roughly divided into five categories: competitive sports, performance sports, entertainment games, health and fitness sports and seasonal sports. Competitive sports are those sports that are competitive and carried out according to strict rules, including archery, horse riding, martial arts, track and field, etc.

With the development of society, at first it was only a primitive sports activity to meet the needs of human survival, and its entertainment and performance became more and more obvious. Especially since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some sports have shown a trend of entertainment, including Jiao Jiao (also known as wrestling and sumo wrestling), tripod lifting (weightlifting) and acrobatics.

Precautions:

It is not advisable to exercise immediately after meals: Exercise after meals can redistribute the blood involved in gastrointestinal digestion, make the blood flow to muscles and other sports organs too much, and the blood flow distribution is disordered, thus affecting the digestion and absorption of nutrients by the gastrointestinal tract, not only affecting the exercise effect, but also endangering health. Secondly, exercise immediately after meals will also cause abdominal pain and discomfort due to the vibration of gastrointestinal tract and the involvement of mesentery.

Warm-up before exercise can increase the temperature of muscles, make them less nervous, reduce the viscosity of synovial mucus, speed up blood flow, and make muscles adapt to the rhythm of high-speed intake of oxygen and other nutrients in advance. Helps prevent muscle and joint injuries. It can also make athletes adapt to the sports state in advance physically and psychologically.
