按摩飛碟球再玩一次

[2013-11-01] 5Y1M I already posted this video a few days ago, but I found a really nice article about “Sit to Down” (also known as puppy push-ups). So I share it again.

“Sit to Down is another exercise that can double as a warm up and a strengthening exercise. This exercise will help warm up and prepare the muscles, joints and connective tissues for the challenges of many activities from running to agility. To incorporate as a strength activity add resistance and increase time to each position.”

Dog Tread: Sit To Down – Front Limb/Shoulder Muscles

我前兩天已經PO過這段引導板鼻在Weplay飛碟觸覺球上進行「趴下⇔坐起」的影片了；不過，昨天看到一篇挺詳細的教學文，所以再PO一次，順便補充些內容。

根據〈Sit To Down – Front Limb/Shoulder Muscles〉一文，Sit To Down這個動作，有助鍛鍊狗兒的前肢及肩膀肌肉，兼具「熱身」及「強化肌力」之效。作為運動前的暖身動作，它讓肌肉、關節和結締組織準備妥當，以應付諸如：跑步或敏捷等各種運動。

熱身的Sit To Down，可以做5～10次，每個動作維持5～10秒。強化肌力的Sit To Down，可以做10～20次，每個動作維持15～20秒。

起初先在平面上練習，熟練後亦可使用平衡道具，例如：平衡墊、平衡板，或是板鼻在影片中使用的復健球類等等，逐步提升難度。練習時請觀察狗兒是否出現無力或疼痛的徵兆。如果狗兒不斷出現側坐之類的，也許至專科醫院做個詳細檢查卡好。

話說，Oh My Shih Tzu專頁的管理員SHIH TZU MOMMY目前正在撰寫一系列關於FitPAWS道具的使用心得文。系列第2篇〈FitDog Friday: Building Your Dogs 6 Pack – Part 2 of 6 The PEANUT〉剛好有Riley在花生球上進行Sit To Down的影像示範。
