muscles receive a load, and if this continues long enough, then such a phenomenon can lead to fatigue.
If during training, after several inaccurate movements, coordination is restored, it means that the muscles have relaxed, self-regulation has occurred. If the deviation persists, then, although the muscles have not relaxed, the exercises should be continued. When the whole body sweats, you can stop exercising, take a hot shower after class for a feeling of comfort. If spontaneous movements are performed, then it is necessary to monitor compliance with the rules for their implementation, while it is impossible to cause movements with the help of volitional efforts, since this can easily lead to complications.

2foureight. WHY DOES THE BODY WARM AND SWEET WHEN EXERCISING

In summer and winter, in the morning and in the evening, during classes, the body warms up, sweat is released, and a feeling of warmth appears. These are positive signs, they indicate the effectiveness of exercises. There are not so many movements visible from the outside, but at this time a very active internal movement occurs in the body, the activity of the autonomic nervous system intensifies, the organs that coordinate movement are excited, the metabolism in the muscles is activated, blood circulation and secretion of the gonads increase, the temperature rises. skin, due to which the body warms up and sweat is released. These are common occurrences.
Specialists from the Shanghai Ruijin Hospital and the Institute for the Study of Hypertension conducted studies using thermal imaging cameras. After running within 3 min exercises in the stance, the temperature of the palm in the region of the Lao Gong point rose by 2.eight ° C. When the temperature of the skin rises, a feeling of heat or warmth appears in the whole body, there is a need to return its excess, so sweating may begin. However, when too much heat is felt and profuse sweating occurs, appropriate regulation is necessary. To do this, on the one hand, it is necessary to reduce the time of performing exercises, on the other hand, to weaken their intensity or reduce the degree of concentration on the excited organs.
If a lot of heat and sweat are released during classes, then after they finish, you need to wipe yourself off, get dressed in time to keep warm. You should not immediately go out into the wind, turn on the fan or sit in a draft, wash your hands or pour cold water on yourself. Need подождать некоторое время и только затем начинать водные процедуры, чтобы избежать резкого раздражения холодом и возможных осложнений.

2four9. WHY DURING EXERCISES IN INDIVIDUAL PARTS OF THE BODY, IN THE SKIN AND MUSCLES, FEELINGS OF PAIN, TENSION, HEAT, COLD, HEAVY APPEAR. itching, numbness

During qigong practice, qi is set in motion, which causes changes in the physiological and biochemical processes in the body, first of all, excitation and inhibition of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are gradually balanced. If, for example, prior to the start of training, emotional stimuli increase the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, and the parasympathetic nervous system is in an inhibited state, then in the process of training a person enters a state of rest, emotions stabilize, the activity of the sympathetic nerves is properly regulated, and the parasympathetic nerves increase accordingly. At the same time, blood circulation increases, the endocrine glands are activated, and metabolism improves. The process of regulating the activity of the nervous system and blood circulation, clearing the channels and collaterals changes the electrical potential of the muscles, therefore, sensations of tingling, tension, warmth, cold may appear in the skin and muscles, the muscles ache, become heavy, itch, as if goosebumps run through them. In qigong, this is called “ba chu” (“eight touches”). These are quite normal phenomena, they should not be feared. We must calmly continue classes, and the sensations will pass. by themselves.

250. WHY SOME PEOPLE MAY HALLUCINATE DURING EXERCISE

Sometimes during classes, images and images of various shapes and colors may appear before the eyes. In qigong they are called huanjue (hallucinations). There is nothing supernatural in their appearance. They arise due to the immersion of the cerebral cortex in deep inhibition. Their character is similar to dreams, since in both cases these images and phenomena are associated with past events that are imprinted in the memory and under certain conditions can appear.
They differ from dreams in that they occur during activities in a state of deep rest, during actual wakefulness. They should not be feared, but they should not be consciously pursued either. It is necessary to calmly continue classes, and after a while they will disappear. If the hallucinations persist and begin to affect the lessons, then after discussion with the teacher it is necessary to change the methodology, then the phantoms will gradually disappear.

25one. IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE EXERCISES IF THE WHOLE BODY APPEARS A FEELING OF COLD

Most patients experience a feeling of warmth throughout the body during exercise, they sweat slightly. However, due to nervous tension, fear and similar mental conditions, a feeling of coldness may appear. chills, sometimes even aggravated during classes. In this case, the exercise should be temporarily stopped, and for some time you should do light, pleasant work, culturally entertain yourself, and when your mood and well-being improve, the feeling of fear will pass, you can continue classes.
If, upon a second attempt to continue classes, such sensations resume, then additional measures should be taken. For example, before class, drink a glass of hot milk, coffee, soy milk or boiling water. to keep warm. Feelings of cold or chills will go away or lessen. After this, classes can be continued, in which case they may be even more effective. If chills appear during spontaneous movements, then in the end you should perform a rack in the middle or lower position, and the body will warm up.

252. WHEN YOU FEEL PAIN IN THE KNEES DURING THE STANDING EXERCISES, IS IT NORMAL OR NOT

This is a common occurrence. It is due to the fact that when performing racks, the body relaxed, but it needs to be maintained in a certain position, and relaxation is relative. Since the knees are in a semi-bent position, especially when doing the handstands in the middle or bottom position, they experience quite a significant load. In addition, when performing this exercise, there is a significant internal movement, there is a noticeable reaction from individual organs and parts of the body. Hence, a feeling of ache is possible, especially in the joints. This is normal.
These phenomena gradually disappear as the duration of classes increases. In this sense, they are similar to physical education, which is said: "if there is no pain [in the muscles], then there is no training." Without such a reaction, it is impossible to achieve useful results in the performance of racks. Therefore, the observed release of heat, sweat and ache in the knee joints can be considered signs of the effectiveness of classes.

253. CAN VARICOSE VEINS APPEAR WHEN PERFORMING EXERCISES IN STANDING FOR LONG TIME?

No, he can not. The veins of the lower extremities are divided into superficial and deep, large and small hidden. The deep ones include anterior and posterior tibial, popliteal and femoral. Superficial veins are located near moving parts of the body. All вены обладают особенными устройствами - клапанами, которые препятствуют обратному току крови. Varicose veins occur when the elasticity of the walls of the venous vessels is weakened, while the valves cannot work effectively, and in these cases the blood circulates worse, its flow from the lower extremities is fed upward, to the heart and lungs, with difficulty, which leads to the occurrence of varicose veins.
When performing stances, the legs seem to be motionless, but after a while a feeling of warmth appears in them. With regular performance of the racks, muscle strength increases, the elasticity of blood vessels increases, the functioning of the valves improves and, consequently, the blood supply to the legs. Not only does this not lead to the occurrence of varicose veins, on the contrary, it can prevent it.

25four. IS IT POSSIBLE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC WHEN PERFORMING RACKS

When performing this exercise, you need to carefully monitor the correct position, the body should be relatively relaxed, breathing is almost natural, you should concentrate on rest or think about something pleasant. In order to increase the duration of the exercise, sometimes along with exercises to regulate the body, breathing and heart, they listen to some pleasant music in order to create a good mood, better relax, eliminate unwanted stimuli of the cerebral cortex, soften or eliminate tension.
With the help of music, you can achieve relief from anxiety, fatigue, create a pleasant, comfortable environment. However, the music should be light, there should not be much of it. After all, we must not forget about the "three harmonies" (body, breath and heart), so that music does not become the main thing, otherwise it will not be an occupation, but ordinary entertainment. Listening to music while doing the stances will help increase the effectiveness of qigong and avoid complications.

255. IF DANCE MOVEMENTS SPONTANEOUSLY APPEAR WHEN PERFORMING STANDS, WHAT TO DO

The stance (zhanzhuang) copies a tree with a root deep in the ground; it stands firm and motionless, and so it grows. itт же принцип положен в основу оздоровления person. Performing racks requires relaxation, naturalness, maintaining the correct position. The body should not make random movements. It is also necessary to maintain normal even breathing, good mood, try not to make oscillatory movements. However, sometimes when performing racks at a certain stage and under certain conditions, spontaneous movements suddenly begin. The reason is in the movement
