Why is “Special Forces-style tourism” so popular?

Psychological experts reveal

Why has "special forces-style tourism" become so popular online? Xue Qiang, a national second-level psychological counselor, said: "On the one hand, 'special forces-style tourism' is a product of the fast pace of life. Young people pay more attention to their current feelings and have a strong sense of urgency about what they want to do. On the other hand, from a psychological perspective, people have a herd mentality, especially when the desire to travel is very strong, and when they see their friends trying it, they will want to imitate it."

In Xue Qiang's view, "special forces-style tourism" also reflects the strong desire of contemporary young people to explore the outside world, and to embrace the unknown and accept challenges: "From a psychological perspective, by changing life scenes, boldly embarking on an unknown journey, making up for the shortcomings of daily stereotyped life, and moving towards the goal, it is called 'self-compensation'."

Travel or suffer?

With tight timelines and heavy tasks, "special forces" often make plans and travel strategies in advance when they have limited holidays and budgets. The itinerary can be described as "precise". Sometimes, before they even reach the scenic spot, they have already seen the route to the next stop.

Although many people envy the young people's attitude of just going wherever they want, this way of traveling has also caused a lot of controversy.

Some people who have tried commando-style tourism say they are overly tired and have body aches.

According to media reports, some college students interviewed said that this kind of "special forces-style tourism" is actually very energy-consuming. Every time they come back, they feel sore backs and leg cramps. They need to rest at school for about a week after each trip. It is still difficult to balance their studies and extracurricular travel.

It is worth noting that many working people are also eager to try this kind of "special forces-style tourism", but some of them fell ill or had to receive intravenous drips after returning home. They said that the "special forces" should be left to college students, as they are too old to bear it.

“30,000 steps a day”

Excessive overload may lead to sudden death

Hu Shuiqing, a gastroenterologist at the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, pointed out: "Special Forces-style travel is actually overdrawing your life." She explained that high-intensity exercise will increase the burden on internal organs. Coupled with lack of sleep and lack of recovery time for body functions, it is easy to induce a variety of diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and in severe cases there is even a risk of sudden death.

Dr. Hu Shuiqing emphasized that fatigue causes more harm to health than people think, including decreased immunity, aggravated physical injuries, induced insomnia, and affected judgment and reaction. In addition, after such a trip, the physical fatigue also takes a long time to eliminate, which is very bad for health.

At the same time, it is emphasized that people may overeat due to visiting many food restaurants in a short period of time, which can easily lead to acute gastroenteritis, acute pancreatitis, etc.

"If the body is in a state of continuous fatigue, not only the knee joints and soles of the feet are prone to injury, but it may also cause muscle strain, lumbar spine injury, etc." said Liu Qiang, deputy chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics at Peking University People's Hospital.

He particularly emphasized that if you have pain in the lumbar sacral region, knee joints, feet, etc. during travel, you should take a rest in time and stop gritting your teeth. You should always pay attention to the "signals" given by your body to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Holiday travel is good

Beware of these body injuries

Experts remind that when traveling on vacation, especially on long-distance hikes, these risks of muscle injury should be avoided.

01 Knee joint and plantar fascia injury

Continuous excessive walking will repeatedly grind the meniscus and hurt the knee joint. Standing and walking for a long time will continuously involve the plantar fascia, which is easy to strain the plantar fascia and cause metatarsal spurs. Some people insist on exercising for a long time, while others grew up in the mountains and ran up and down since childhood, so their physical fitness is naturally different. For ordinary people, sudden increase in exercise is most likely to hurt the body.

Experts recommend that you wear loose, comfortable, well-fitting sports shoes when traveling, and avoid wearing high heels, leather shoes, slippers, and shoes that do not fit, to minimize the probability of plantar fascia injury.

In addition, walking and resting should be performed alternately during travel, and after returning to the residence, the legs and feet should be relaxed and rested, such as soaking feet in hot water, lifting and patting, and massaging legs and feet. After traveling, if knee pain or recurring pain in the soles of the feet occurs, seek medical attention in a timely manner.

" Avoid long-term climbing and long-term weight-bearing exercise. " Zhang Xiping emphasized that not only when traveling, but everyone needs to pay attention to these two points for their own health.

02 Femoral neck fracture

It is especially prone to occur in the elderly. If you are injured, you should not continue to bear weight and go to the hospital immediately for an X-ray examination and treatment.

03 Wrist fracture

Most of them are caused by instinctively using the palm of the hand to support the ground when tripping or slipping. After the injury, the patient will feel severe pain in the injured wrist, and some can feel the broken bones moving. After the injury, find a flat board or book nearby to support the wrist to avoid repeated swinging of the wrist. Do not massage or repeatedly exercise on your own. The doctor should reposition the fracture as soon as possible and fix it with plaster.

04 Ankle ligament injury and ankle fracture

This injury often occurs when running or walking downhill. Even if you can walk after the injury, you should avoid weight bearing. If conditions permit, apply ice immediately to reduce bleeding and swelling. Avoid massage and hot compresses. Go to the hospital as soon as possible for plaster fixation or surgery.

05 Prevent skin allergies and insect bites

If you have a history of pollen allergies, it is best to bring anti-allergic drugs in case of emergency. People with allergies should avoid places with large areas of flowers in bloom. If you have a pollen allergy, you should seek medical attention in time. If you are going out, it is best to wear long-sleeved clothes and avoid exposing too much skin to prevent allergies.

In addition, doctors still recommend that people with heart disease, asthma and other diseases should not follow the trend and try high-intensity travel. It is also recommended to prepare drugs for diarrhea , such as berberine, when going out. For people with weak gastrointestinal digestion, you can also prepare drugs for indigestion, such as digestive enzymes, lactobacillus tablets, yeast tablets, stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, etc.

Experts remind the public that safety and health come first.

People have limited energy, so we should "travel" within our capabilities. Don't ignore the significance of travel by blindly following the trend of "checking in"~~
