Accessible Fitness

In a world that celebrates movement and wellness, accessibility remains a cornerstone for ensuring that everyone can participate in and benefit from fitness activities. Regardless of physical ability or limitation, everyone deserves the opportunity to engage in exercises that promote health, strength, and overall well-being. The concept of accessible fitness transcends mere convenience—it embodies inclusivity, empowerment, and a fundamental right to holistic health practices. One of the primary challenges in fitness accessibility is the physical environment. Traditional fitness centers often present barriers to individuals with disabilities. However, an increasing number of facilities are recognizing the need for inclusive design, featuring accessible entrances, modified equipment, and dedicated spaces for various exercises. For instance, adjustable workout benches, ramps, and wide pathways enable individuals with mobility impairments to navigate and engage more freely. Moreover, t...

Thrombosis often goes unnoticed

Up to 100,000 people die every year as a result of thrombosis. A number that my doctor confronted me with. A number that also scared me. Among other things, because thrombosis is often not even noticed. Many of those affected simply feel nothing. No pain, no pressure in the leg. As if a time bomb is ticking inaudibly quietly.  techqueer

The thrombosis has nothing to do with age, nor is a sporty and active person immune to it. But on the contrary!

Anyone who runs regularly has probably suffered one or two injuries in the course of their running career. It doesn't always have to stand the big deal for the formation of a thrombosis. Not necessarily a knee operation, a fatigue fracture, a torn muscle fiber or other typical runner injuries can trigger a thrombosis. Sometimes just a twist is enough. Something we runners really don't take seriously. digitalknowledgetoday

Even small injuries increase the risk

Scientists and doctors have agreed for many years: Even minor muscle and ligament injuries in the legs increase the risk of leg vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Injuries to other parts of the body, such as the arms or trunk, on the other hand, have no influence on the risk of thrombosis.     healthnutritionhints

Blood clots can appear within eight to ten weeks of the injury. Even with simple, small inflammations that we barely notice. For a long time, I too was one of those runners who "ran away" from one or the other injury. That means nothing more than ignoring the pain, moving on.  smartdiethealth

Let me check you out

One of the biggest stupid things a runner can do. Anyone who is injured takes a break. Period. And that shouldn't be negotiable. Those who treat their bodies responsibly are sure to have a longer and healthier life. And if we get injured, here is a request to everyone: get examined. Better go to the doctor one more time than too little.  healthfitnesschampion

Get checked for thrombosis, even if you don't have the suspicious symptoms like pressure or pulling in the calf, hot or swollen leg. These noisy and often painless sources of danger are recognized far too seldom.

Every year one in 1000 people gets thrombosis. Still an incredible number for me. Just so we can be clear: As of March 2021, one person died out of 1,000 people infected with corona. I usually find it wrong to compare things that cannot be compared. But I would like to give you a feeling for the impact and danger of a thrombosis. Take care of yourself every day. That's how it works.
