Table tennis should be the most popular event in the Olympic Games. The wonderful performances of Xu Xin, Sun Yingsha, Malone and Fan Zhendong excited us in front of the screen.
The coach behind Liu once again entered the public eye.
Someone dug up the photos of Liu when he was young and compared them. I can't help asking, why are athletes so deformed after retirement?
20 13 after Yao Ming retired from playing basketball, his weight soared from 280 kg to 400 kg.
Ronaldo, a talented star nicknamed "Alien" in those days, has now become "Fat Ronaldo".
Liu, who once dominated table tennis, was ridiculed as a "fat official who doesn't know the ball" at the Rio Olympics.
However, Liu didn't get fat alone. Kong Huiling, who used to compete with him, is now getting fat with him.
Once a ping-pong binary star, it became a ping-pong double "giant" star. Miss Dong Can couldn't help singing: The most romantic thing I can think of is getting fat with you. ...
Shawn johnson, a famous gymnast known as "Pocket Khorkina", gained 36 kilograms in two years after stopping training, which was three times as much as before.
Cheng Fei, once a petite and emaciated "gymnastics queen", has also become naive.
There are three main reasons why athletes get fat after retirement:
1, accustomed to a high-calorie diet
In order to ensure the amount of training, professional athletes on the job consume a lot of calories every day. For example, michael phelps, an American swimmer, consumes 10000 to 12000 calories every day during training and preparation.
(The picture shows Phelps eating 12000 calories a day. )
For a long time after retirement, athletes still kept their intake in the active period, but the amount of exercise decreased significantly, making the total calories consumed greater than the calories consumed.
As a result, they inevitably gained weight.
2. Reduce the amount of exercise
Many retired professional athletes, it is difficult to maintain the previous amount of exercise, slow metabolism, and consume less calories.
3. Broad-minded and chubby
After retirement, they can enjoy life to the fullest without the pressure of competition. The athlete's spirit and body began to relax, so the muscles gradually decreased and the fat began to grow uncontrollably.
In fact, the principle of getting fat is very simple, that is, look at the difference between the calories you consume and the calories you consume every day.
No matter who you are, no matter what your figure is, even if you are still exercising, just:
1. The calories you consume in your diet will make you fat.
2. The calories consumed by your diet will make you thin or keep your previous figure.
In addition to judging a person's figure with the naked eye, you can also use the following four sets of data to measure a person's fatness:
1, body mass index (body mass index)
Body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m).
Step 2 waist circumference
Waist circumference can not only reflect the total amount of fat, but also reflect the distribution of fat, which is a good index to evaluate the risk of chronic diseases.
Measure the waist circumference and stand with your feet 30 cm apart, so that your weight will be evenly distributed. The measuring part should be flat on the navel, and close to the skin with a soft ruler, but not pressed.
Adult male waist circumference should be less than 85 cm, female waist circumference should be less than 80 cm.
3, waist-hip ratio
The waist-hip ratio of men is greater than 0.9, and that of women is greater than 0.8, indicating that it is a high-risk group with excess visceral fat.
When measuring, stand up straight, inhale gently, and measure the waist circumference above the navel and the most prominent hip circumference with a tape measure. Then divide the waist circumference by the hip circumference, which is your waist-hip ratio.
4, subcutaneous fat thickness
The subcutaneous fat thickness of abdominal wall should be less than 15 mm in men and less than 20 mm in women. This usually requires a professional sebum thickness gauge to measure.
But you can also sit in a chair, bend down and pick up the belly meat with your hands, then roughly estimate the thickness, and then divide it by 2 to get the thickness of your subcutaneous fat.
If you are too fat to pinch ... that means you should lose weight properly!
Our ordinary sports enthusiasts may be unable to exercise because of injuries or changes in the pace of life. In this case, how can we keep fit?
1, control diet
Life is alive, eat, drink and be merry. Many times you can't blame yourself for being fat, but Chinese food is so delicious! But if you don't want to get fat, you must control your diet if you can't exercise, otherwise you will get fat sooner or later if you eat more and exercise less.
You can also adjust the daily diet structure, such as reducing the intake of fine staple food and replacing it with coarse grains or vegetables.
It is also necessary to reduce the intake of sugar. If the sugar intake is too high, the blood sugar level will be too high, and the body will first convert it into muscle glycogen and liver glycogen, which will be stored in the muscle and liver.
2. Don't completely relax yourself.
If you stop exercising because of injury, you can switch to other sports, such as yoga and boxing, instead of running. In short, don't give up exercise completely.
Exercise is one of the healthiest ways to lose weight. Adults should exercise for half an hour every day.
