隨著 #奧運會 即將開幕， #劍擊 運動備受關注。因為上屆奧運的金牌得主 - 香港選手張家朗及香港擊劍隊的出色表現，越來越多的人參與劍擊運動。我們將探討一些肌力訓練和體能訓練計畫，了解如何在擊劍賽場上發揮最佳表現和預防受傷。

劍擊運動員的肌力與體能訓練計畫：
1. 變向速度（CODS）：
- 組合式敏捷訓練梯： 透過組合式敏捷梯進行前進、橫向和之字形練習，訓練快速腳步移動。
- T 型練習： 這項經典的敏捷性測試，需要以 T 形模式進行短距離衝刺、側步移動和後退，可以鍛鍊全身協調能力。
- 側向跳躍著地： 進行側向跳躍並控制著地,，可鍛鍊下肢的離心力量和身體平衡，有助於快速變向。
- 阻力短跑： 利用阻力帶進行短跑，可鍛鍊加速和減速能力。

2. 高強度間歇訓練(HIIT)以增強力量和爆發力

3. 核心訓練: 包括平板支撐、空心托舉、俄羅斯轉體等，可以增強軀幹的穩定性，在保持最佳身體定位的同時，使下肢產生力量。

4. 對膝關節和踝關節的預防性強化和肌肉感覺訓練
- 深蹲和硬舉:針對膝關節和臀部伸展/屈曲
- 分腿深蹲練習：以臀肌為目標，共同訓練從弓箭步回到防守狀態的快速恢復

5. 旋轉力量練習: 實心球投擲、地雷管旋轉和伐木式都是針對這些動作模式。

6. 北歐式彎舉和直腿硬拉: 有助於減少高發生率的腿筋拉傷。這些練習可以幫助劍擊運動員減緩弓步動作，並從爆發性動作中恢復，而不會使腿筋超負荷。

7. 握力訓練: 農夫行走(Farmer Walk)、硬舉和壺鈴擺盪可以增強所需的前臂和握力。

通過結合這些訓練元素，劍擊運動員可以最大限度地提升自己的表現，同時保持自己的健康和避免受運動受傷。

As the Game commence, is capturing the spotlight, thanks to the success of gold medalist Cheung Ka Long and the strong performance of HK Fencing team. More people are playing fencing nowadays. We explore some strength training and conditioning regimens that support fencers in optimizing their performance and preventing injuries on the field.

您有觀看近期的 #溫布頓網球錦標賽 嗎? 我們上篇分享了一些常見的網球運動傷害。以下是簡單的小貼士，從適當的熱身到賽場上的策略，以預防網球運動時受傷。

1. 糾正技術 - 使用正確的肌肉群來產生更大的動力，而不會過度負荷使用同一組肌肉。這將減少受傷的機會，因為肌肉、肌腱和韌帶所承受的壓力和張力度會更少。一名優秀的網球教練能夠幫助和指導您進行技術上的改變，並最終提高你的比賽水平。

2. 比賽前後做好熱身和降溫 - 可以降低受傷的機率。熱身可以提高心血管系統，提高體溫，讓血液流向肌肉，使更多氧氣到達肌肉，使肌肉做好準備。降溫則可以讓心率逐漸降低，有助於清除肌肉中的廢物，並使肌肉恢復到原來的長度。

3. 進行良好的強化和調節性體能訓練計劃有助於預防肌肉受傷

4. 佩戴正確的裝備 - 穿著正確的鞋襪和使用適合的球拍是非常重要。正確的鞋子將增加腳踝支撐，減少腳踝扭傷和應力骨折的可能性。挑選適合自己的球拍，正確的握柄尺寸、球拍弦線張力、球拍尺寸和重量有助於預防揮拍時拉傷手腕肌腱。如果球拍的張力過大，您會需要花更大的力氣擊球，從而對手肘和肩膀造成不必要的壓力。

5. 間歇性休息 - 讓身體和大腦得到休息和恢復。疲勞會導致技術的無意識變化，並對身體造成不必要的壓力和應力，更容易受傷。

💡以上信息僅供參考。如果您遇到任何與運動相關的傷害，建議尋求專業物理治療師或醫療專家的指導和建議，以獲得正確的診斷和適當的治療。

Are you watching ? As we introduced some common tennis injuries previously. Let's learn about some prevention tips to avoid injuries, from proper warm-ups to court-smart strategies.

#溫布頓網球錦標賽 正在火熱開打，這是令網球愛好者最興奮的時刻之一。打 #網球 會從擊球時的肩膀，到發球時的背部，對全身施加壓力和應力。一同了解最常見的網球運動傷害。

#網球肘 (肱骨外上髁炎) - 前臂與肱骨（肘部和肩膀之間的上臂骨）外側相連的肌腱受到刺激。它也可能是由於訓練量增加、技術不佳或球拍尺寸或張力不正確而造成的過度使用傷害。

踝關節扭傷 - 分為1-3級。第1級為較輕微的損傷害，第3級是完全斷裂。扭傷可能涉及單一或多個韌帶，最常受傷的是外側韌帶。扭傷的原因是腳踝關節有時會向內扭轉，可能是由於踝關節不穩定或穿著不合適的鞋子。患者會因為組織受損，而感到踝關節前部疼痛。

肩袖撕裂 - 肩部肌肉在訓練和比賽中會大量使用。它可能是慢性損傷，也可能是急性損傷。症狀包括該區域疼痛、肩膀乏⼒、移動肩膀時發出磨擦聲。

背部扭傷 - 網球發球時需要脊柱過度伸展(向後彎曲)，同時還要旋轉和側彎軀幹。這對脊柱造成很大壓力。如果球員沒有良好的控制能力和柔軟度,在上場時的旋轉動作可能會造成肌肉微小撕裂，進而導致肌肉緊繃和不適。

💡如果您遇到任何與運動相關的傷害，建議尋求專業物理治療師或醫療專家的指導和建議，以獲得正確的診斷和適當的治療。

【肩關節夾擊綜合症和五十肩一樣嗎？】
雖然兩者的症狀相似，但卻有所不同。 肩關節夾擊綜合症是由肩旋肌肌鍵腫脹、增厚或撕裂，與肩峰磨擦或被夾擊所致。 它會在一定的活動範圍內引起疼痛，痛楚或源於肩旋肌肌腱發炎(肌腱炎)，或是肩峰下滑液囊(肩膀頂端下一囊液體)發炎 (滑液囊炎)。 而五十肩通常沒有明顯原因所致。

了解其特徵有助於您區分這兩種疾病。
您可能患有 #五十肩：
- 原因： 通常沒有明顯原因所致，但可能與不活動或外傷有關
- 逐漸出現疼痛和僵硬，導致手臂活動範圍減少; 在最後階段可能會出現肩膀非常僵硬和無力的情況
- 前舉,外轉,內轉都受限，難以將手臂舉過頭頂/ 將手臂橫跨身體/ 伸向背後
- 肌肉僵硬感勝於無力感
- 疼痛持續較長時間 (以月至年計)

您可能患有 #肩關節夾擊綜合症：
- 原因： 重複高舉過頭的活動、骨刺、肌腱發炎
- 肩部疼痛會在活動時加劇，尤其在手臂高舉過頭頂的時候; 疼痛可能是突發性的，也可能逐漸加劇
- 高舉過頭或向背後伸手的動作會有影響
- 肌肉無力感勝於僵硬感
- 疼痛持續時間因人而異，通常較短

要正確診斷您的肩部疼痛，建議尋求專業的物理治療師或醫療專家的指導和建議，以獲得適當的治療和康復計劃。

【Is Shoulder Impingement the Same as Frozen Shoulder?】
Although shoulder impingement and frozen shoulder have similar symptoms, they are different. Shoulder impingement is caused by a swollen, thickened, or torn rotator cuff tendon that rubs against or catches in the acromion while the cause of frozen shoulder is often unknown.

Knowing the features can help you differentiate between the two:
Frozen Shoulder:
- Causes: Often unexpected, but can be linked to immobility or trauma
- Gradual onset of pain and stiffness, leading to decreased range of arm movement. At the end stage can present with a very stiff and weak shoulder.
- Difficulties in lifting your arm above your head and extending your arms across your body or behind your back in most directions
- Stiffness more than muscle weakness
- Pain duration tends to be long (months to years)

Shoulder impingement:
- Causes: Repetitive overhead activity, bone spurs, inflammation of tendons.
- Shoulder pain tends to worsen with movement, especially overhead activities. The pain can come on suddently or gradually
- Difficulties in overhead movement or reaching behind your back
- Muscle weakness more than stiffness
- Pain duration varies, often shorter

To properly diagnose your shoulder's pain, you should make an appointment to seek advice from a professional physiotherapist or medical expert.

您有沒有中這些 #五十肩 的症狀？在大部分的病例中，肩部動作的受限大都伴隨著嚴重疼痛，且會干擾到睡眠。患者也會因疼痛及關節活動度的喪失，嚴重影響日常生活。

五十肩的症狀:
1. 肩關節疼痛：這是最常見的症狀之一。疼痛通常在肩膀的頂部或外側感覺最明顯，並可能向上臂延伸。疼痛可能會逐漸加劇，導致肩關節活動受限。
2. 手部向外轉和內轉特別緊硬及痛楚
例如：手無法伸到背部抓癢或女士不能自行解開內衣
3. 肩膊幅度受限: 如無法舉高、拿高處物品
嚴重者或出現無法梳理頭髮或穿衣出現困難
4. 夜間疼痛：睡覺時壓力施加在患有五十肩的肩膀上可能導致疼痛加劇，甚至夜間容易痛醒，影響睡眠品質。

Do you have any of these symptoms of "Frozen Shoulder"? In most cases, limited shoulder movement is accompanied by severe pain, which can disrupt sleep. Patients also experience significant pain and loss of joint mobility, severely affecting daily life.

The symptoms of "Frozen Shoulder":
1. Shoulder joint pain: This is one of the most common symptoms. The pain is most noticeable at the top or outer side of the shoulder and may extend to the upper arm. The pain can gradually worsen, leading to restricted shoulder joint movement.
2. Difficulty with external and internal rotation of the hand: E.g. the inability to reach the back to scratch an itch or women having difficulty unfastening their bras independently.
3. Limited range of motion in the shoulder: e.g. Inability to raise or reach objects at a high level.
Severe cases may result in difficulty combing hair or dressing.
4. Nighttime pain: The pressure exerted on the affected shoulder while sleeping, leading to disrupted sleep and reduced sleep quality.

#五十肩 的正式名稱是「肩沾黏性關節囊炎」，當肩關節囊發炎時，身體會產生纖維母細胞修復發炎位置，但這反而會使關節受黏住，導致肩部活動受限。因為它常見於50歲左右的患者，故俗稱為「五十肩」或冰凍肩。

但並非只有50歲的人會患上。隨著運動風氣盛行，年輕人因不當的運動方式可能導致肩關節受傷，或是經常舉高手臂做家事的家庭主婦也有可能罹患此病。寒背、低頭族、過度勞損、休息不足等因素也可能引發五十肩。

一般可分「原發性五十肩」和「次發性五十肩」。一齊睇睇五十肩的成因有哪些？

The formal name for 'frozen shoulder' is Adhesive Capsulitis. When the shoulder joint capsule becomes inflamed, fibroblasts will be produced to repair the inflammed part, but this can lead to progressive pain and stiffness in the shoulder, resulting in a decreased range of motion in the shoulder. It is commonly seen in patients around the age of 50, so a common Chinese term ‘50-years-old shoulder’ is used.

However, it does not only affect those age of 50. Young people may also have shoulder joint injuries due to improper exercise techniques, and people who frequently raise their arms for housework may also suffer from frozen shoulder. Factors such as poor posture, excessive strain, and inadequate rest can also contribute to a frozen shoulder.

Frozen shoulder can generally be classified into 'primary frozen shoulder' and 'secondary frozen shoulder'. Learn about the causes of Frozen shoulder.

#背痛 是 #懷孕 期間的常見症狀，影響高達 50-70% 的孕婦。它通常在妊娠中期左右開始，隨著子宮的生長並對脊柱、骨盆和支撐肌肉施加新的壓力。隨著胎兒體重持續增加以及母親在妊娠晚期的重心轉移，背痛往往會加劇。要如何減輕懷孕期間的腰背痛呢？

如果背痛突然迅速加劇或伴有麻木、腿部無力、失禁、發燒或嘔吐等新症狀，請馬上諮詢婦產科醫生。這些症狀有機會伴隨較嚴重，例如椎間盤突出、骨骼軟化導致的壓縮性骨折、骨盆帶疼痛或早期臨產宮縮等。

懷孕期間的大多數背痛是肌肉骨骼疼痛，在分娩後不久或產後幾個月內就會消失。然而，在可忍受的範圍內保持運動習慣並優先考慮個人護理有助懷孕期間期間保持活力和身體機能。

女性可以通過充足的睡眠、均衡的飲食和練習放鬆技巧來提升懷孕期間的身心健康。在專業醫護人員的適當指導及家人的支持下，準媽媽們可以找到滿足身心靈的方法來控制背痛。只要保持耐性及堅持，相信準媽媽們可以照顧同時胎兒及個人健康。

Back pain is a common complaint during pregnancy, affecting up to 50-70% of pregnant women. It usually begins around the second trimester as the uterus grows and places new pressure on the spine, pelvis and supporting muscles. Back pain often intensifies as the foetus continues to gain weight and the mother's centre of gravity shifts in the third trimester. How to manage back pain during pregancy?

Seeing an obstetrician is important if back pain suddenly intensifies quickly or is accompanied by new symptoms like numbness, leg weakness, incontinence, fever or vomiting. These could indicate more serious conditions like herniated discs, compression fractures from softening bones, pelvic girdle pain or early labour contractions.

Most back pain during pregnancy is musculoskeletal and resolves shortly after delivery or within a few months postpartum. However, staying active as tolerated and prioritising self-care can preserve mobility and functionality during this time.

Women can optimise their physical and mental health during pregnancy by getting adequate sleep, eating a balanced diet, and practising relaxation techniques. With the proper guidance from healthcare providers and support from family, mothers-to-be can find ways to manage back pain that honours both their physical limits and emotional needs. With patience and persistence, they can nurture their babies while nurturing themselves.
