Osteopath, doctor of medical sciences and member of the Russian Osteopathic Association Vladimir Frolov spoke about the possible consequences of a sedentary lifestyle and how it affects a person.
“Here we should talk not only about posture, but also about the emotional and mental stress experienced by a person who has been working at a computer for a long time in such a state of the musculoskeletal system. This condition is characterized by the obligatory tension of certain muscle groups, ”said the doctor in an interview with “Radio 1”.
According to him, people with a sedentary lifestyle most often face two problems – a large amount of information with a lack of time and subjectively intractable situations. This, Frolov noted, flows into a tense emotional state, which is then reflected at the level of soft tissues.
“If it is impossible to somehow prevent this, even emotionally affective disorders of the neurotic register can form. Most often it is pain, depression, when bodily pain can cause a depressive disorder and in general there are big problems, including at the level of muscle structures, connective tissue. There are situations when the muscle becomes denser, microcirculation is disturbed, and permeability disturbances also occur, ”the expert explained.
All this can eventually flow into tissue fibrosis. To prevent this, the doctor advises people with a sedentary lifestyle to do daily simple prevention – gymnastics.
“After every 45 minutes of work, you need to do light gymnastics, as well as play sports in your free time. Swimming or Nordic walking is best, ”Frolov concluded.
Following these recommendations does not cancel the advice of a specialist.
Last November, Australian scientists from Deakin University found that a sedentary lifestyle increases the likelihood of developing anxiety symptoms and depression. Scientists have come to the conclusion that those who lead a sedentary lifestyle feel depressed and lonely. Therefore, scientists also advise to move more and play sports, which contribute to the release of the hormone endorphin.
