School is starting again. Which outdoor sports can help prevent and control myopia?

During the winter vacation, many children have vision problems due to irregular lifestyles, constant use of mobile phones and game consoles, and bad eye habits. The main reason is that they do not have enough outdoor activities. Now that school has finally started and the temperature has gradually risen, which outdoor sports are helpful for the prevention and control of myopia ?

1. Play badminton

Playing badminton is an outdoor sport that is enjoyable and can prevent myopia. When playing badminton, you need to observe the state of the ball. The continuous hitting and returning of the ball can improve the tension of the ciliary muscle, promote blood circulation in the eyeball tissue, improve vision, and reduce eye fatigue.

2. Fly a kite

Flying a kite not only exercises your muscles, but also transforms close-up vision into distant vision, which is very beneficial for protecting your eyesight.

3. Mountaineering

During the climbing process, the climber's eyes can constantly switch between the feet and the front, which not only exercises the body, but also effectively exercises the eye muscles and strengthens the eyes' self-regulation ability.

4. Bouncing exercise

When a person jumps, all the organs in the body enter a state of motion, and several eye muscles of both eyes coordinate and cooperate to make the image clearly appear on the retina, thus ensuring a balanced posture when the body falls.

Doing more bouncing exercises will allow the retina to perform rapid imaging activities that are difficult to perform under normal circumstances. This is equivalent to eye exercises and can help adjust vision.

5. Play football

When playing football, because the sports field is relatively wide and the field of vision is very wide, the ciliary muscles are in a completely relaxed state, which is very effective in relieving eye muscle fatigue. As the ball or player moves, the eye muscles can also be effectively adjusted to achieve full relaxation.

Zhu Lina, director of Tianjin University Aier Eye Hospital, said that activities that require close eye use outdoors should be avoided as much as possible, such as reading under the shade of trees, digging in the sand, and watching ants. Since everyone has already spent time outdoors, they should give their eyes more room to relax.
