1 Moving the limbs

Assuming the standing position for a long time makes the muscle of the waist and leg tense and tired. As a result, physical workers often feel exhausted, aching pain of the waist and leg. They are also susceptible to hump back and injury of lumbar muscle due to physical overstrain. In addition, due to gravity, blood circulation is not smooth. Consequently, phlebeurysma of lower limbs occur easily. Accordingly, participate in more activities at usual times such as taking a walk, jogging, practicing Taijiquan, swaying legs and performing gymnastics.
When working in the sitting position for a long time, select the events of exercising the whole body like ball games. These games improve the flexibility and sensitivity of the fingers and wrist. Besides, the games also tonify the brain, benefit intelligence and improve microcirculation.
Those who engage in high-temperature operation consume a lot of physical strength. They may take part in more activities such as walking, jogging, fencing and keep-fit gymnastics to increase the adaptive capacity and tolerance of high temperature of the organism.
Those workers who engage in highly technical jobs not only consume their physical strength, but also use the brain, for instance, long-distance drivers and technical workers in an assemble line. These people's brains are highly tense, and they are susceptible to insomnia, headache and nervous hypertension. It is advisable for them to choose the traditional Chinese keep-fit sports events with small amount of exercise and mild movements like Taijiquan and eight-section brocade. These events regulate breathing, tranquilize the mind, exercise the body, which not only relax mental tension, but also promote qi flow, relax the muscle and tendon and activate blood circulation. These people may also participate in some ball games and gymnastic games on or with apparatus to improve the ability of quick and flexible reactions of the body.
