People with poor vision

According to Aboluowang, people with poor night vision, difficult to observe road conditions, and potential safety risks should not jog at night but should jog during the day.

obese

According to information from Phu Tho General Hospital, jogging is very effective in losing weight, so overweight people often choose jogging as a priority exercise to start their weight loss process. However, doctors often do not recommend jogging for obese people.

People who should not jog because it can be harmful to their health

This is because when running, our legs will have to bear the pressure of the whole body, for obese people this pressure is greater than normal people. If maintained for a long time, the pressure from body weight will be compressed down the legs, causing bad effects on bones and joints, especially the knee joints.

Trainers recommend that obese people be cautious when jogging and should start with low intensity, short distances and gradually increase over time.

People with injuries or bone and joint diseases

Jogging can increase pressure on the spine, especially the lower back. Therefore, people with herniated discs should avoid jogging or only jog at low intensity, short distances and with the guidance of a doctor or physical therapist.

For people with a history of knee injuries, running can cause a recurrence of the injury. Therefore, they should avoid running or only run at low intensity and short distances. They should choose lighter exercises such as walking, yoga, etc. instead of high-intensity running.

Senior Citizen

Many people think that jogging is a sport suitable for all ages, but in fact, high-intensity jogging is not suitable for the elderly.

The reason is that as we age, our muscles and ligaments become worn out and lose their elasticity. High-intensity running can damage muscles and ligaments that are already stiff and weak, and over time can have a negative impact on the joints and bones of the legs, causing osteoarthritis.

Elderly people should choose walking instead of jogging. However, it should be noted that they should only walk for a maximum of 30-45 minutes per day and always need to warm up for about 5-10 minutes to warm up the joints before walking.

Note when jogging to avoid stroke

According to Master, Doctor Doan Du Manh, member of the Vietnam Vascular Disease Association, to prevent stroke when jogging, runners need to follow the notes below.

- You need to warm up all muscle groups thoroughly and completely, do not warm up for too long because it will tire the muscles, consume too much energy, warm up in the right order, from light, easy movements to difficult movements to gradually warm up the muscles. When the weather is cold, you must warm up thoroughly, follow the principle of increasing the intensity and dosage of movements slowly because it is easy to tear the muscles.

- You should not use hot massage oils to warm up instead of warming up because this method only warms the skin with chemicals, but the tendons and ligaments are not warm enough.

- Before practicing any sport, you need to have a physical examination to see if there are any underlying medical conditions such as heart or lung disease or a family history of heart, lung, blood pressure, or musculoskeletal problems.

- During the running process, you need to adjust the intensity, do not start running too fast or too hard, gradually increase the intensity and distance when the body is ready. You need to have a training plan to gradually increase the intensity and running distance, for example, you should only increase the distance by 200m each week, do not suddenly increase the running distance.

- Keep your body cool, hydrate and regulate your body to avoid heat shock.

- While running, listen to your body. If you feel uncomfortable or too tired, stop and rest. If necessary, call for help.

- When you finish running, gradually slow down and do some stretching exercises to help your body recover.

Above are people who should not jog. If you are in the above group, stay away from this sport.
