Hypodynamia is the lack of physical activity adequate to the state of the body, as well as the subsequent weakness of muscle activity as a result of detraining. Let’s briefly outline what its causes are, who it faces and what needs to be done to prevent this condition.
Hypodynamia is dangerous. What are the reasons?
Children and adolescents, as well as young people under the age of twenty-five to twenty-eight years, are usually not affected by this condition. Lack of exercise is the scourge of thirty and forty year old citizens. What is the reason? Young people often get a sufficient level of physical activity because they attend many sections, participate in competitions, go hiking and go to discos. Thus, sufficient muscle activity is achieved by solving completely different tasks that lie in the areas of socialization, competition, social communication. And since closer to thirty years, many are realized in the profession and receive a stable circle of communication, the sport is slowly being squeezed out of the field of interests. And if the state of the figure does not motivate him to immediately engage in physical exercises, then with high probability a habit is formed not only of a sedentary lifestyle, but also of passive rest.
Such is the mentality of most of our citizens: they feel a desire to go in for sports when there are health problems or being overweight. Meanwhile, it’s much easier to ensure that you are never threatened by physical inactivity. It does not require significant effort from you. All you need to do is decide for yourself that from now on you need to devote some time to physical exercises. A strong determination will be the foundation for the next steps that will lead to change.
Prevention of physical inactivity
Choose for yourself a set of exercises that you can easily perform throughout the day. Install a reminder on your phone that will not let you forget about your promises. Your complex should be associated with positive emotions. For example, be accompanied by your favorite music.
Or (if this is a full-fledged workout) you put on your favorite sportswear for training, in which you look good and like yourself. Take into account your preferences. So, if you are a companionable person, perhaps you are well motivated by a planned trip with friends or friends to a fitness club. If you are characterized by pronounced individualism, noisy activities are a priori not for you. Choose the type of physical activity that will allow you to get the desired privacy and tranquility: solo jogging, gym, training on video recordings. Remember that the causes of physical inactivity can be very individual. Perhaps it is your decrease in activity that is associated with depression and depression, and you need to start by going to a psychologist and trying to figure yourself out. Remember that the state of your body (as well as its muscle tone) directly reflects your sense of self and problems with perceiving yourself.
