At 6:30 am today (27th), the police received a report from a staff member of a 24-hour gym in Tianping Shopping Mall, Sheung Shui, stating that a man collapsed in a coma at Shang Shui.
Ambulancemen arrived at the scene. The 41-year-old man surnamed Wang was in a coma and was sent to the North District Hospital for treatment. He is in critical condition.
The police are investigating the incident, and the case is temporarily handled by someone fainting.
It is understood that when Wang Nan was doing barbell gravity training in the fitness room, he suspected that he was pressed to the chest by the barbell and fainted due to lack of strength. The staff member called the police when he found out.
It can be seen at the scene that a notice was posted outside the gym room in question, stating that there will be staff on site from 12 noon to 9 p.m. or until 6 p.m., and it is closed on public holidays; another notice stated that "members only". It also states that if someone brings a non-member into the fitness center without authorization, the center has the right to terminate membership immediately and charge a fine according to the membership contract if there is a violation.
Experts recommend a group of 2 people during the fitness period, retraining to keep breathing
Associate Professor Lei Xiongde of the Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology of Hong Kong Baptist University said that it is difficult to estimate what happens when the victim has a hidden illness or three highs. Excessive force may cause the disease, resulting in sudden inadequacy and accidents. .
In addition, many bodybuilders will hold their breath and exert force during gravity training. For example, undertrained people may cause excessive chest pressure during the apnea exercise, and then a brief shock will cause the barbell to press on the chest and cause an accident.
Lei Xiongde reminded that no matter you do any fitness equipment or exercise, you must minimize the risk.
He suggested that a group of 2 people is ideal for fitness or high-intensity exercise; and if there is no professional guidance on the spot, he believes that it is safer for bodybuilders to keep breathing during heavy training.
Lei Xiongde noticed that the incident occurred in a 24-hour fitness center. He understands that it is convenient for different people to be open 24 hours a day. However, the safety system in the fitness center, such as closed-circuit television, how many staff are monitoring the field, and other factors, "If you can see you early It will be good for the injured."
