Actress Seol In-ah complained of sudden side pain while running. [사진=tvN ‘무쇠소녀단’ / 설인아 인스타그램]Actress Seol In-ah complained of sudden side pain while running.
Recently, Seol In-ah was shown training in Jeju Island ahead of competing in a 10km marathon on a broadcast. Seol In-ah, who previously said, “I hate running the most,” started training with a tired expression. Even on the day of the training shoot, he was so worried that he said, “I will definitely be in last place,” but as soon as practice started, he fell behind and had a hard time due to the strong headwind.
Seol In-ah ran to meet the record, but suffered symptoms such as nausea and chest tightness. He even felt pain in his side and his heart rate became so high that he stopped running and started walking. Afterwards, the heart rate began to drop and Seol In-ah succeeded in running 5km.
‘Side stitch’, which causes pain in the side while running… Is it caused by irritation of the peritoneum, causing pain?
Like Seol In-ah, everyone has probably experienced pain in their side while running at least once. This phenomenon, called side stitching, commonly occurs when running or running fast. The side of a side stitch refers to the side, and the stitch refers to sewing. It got its name because it felt like a stabbing pain in the side. The exact cause of pain is not known, but there are several hypotheses.
The first is the hypothesis that the peritoneum is irritated and the side hurts. Our body has various organs, including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. This organ is surrounded by a thin membrane called the peritoneum. If we take a water balloon filled with water as an example, if you shake the water balloon wildly, the water inside the balloon will fluctuate. At this time, friction occurs when the water and the inner surface of the water balloon collide. This friction is the cause of pain. When you run, your body shakes and friction occurs between your organs and the peritoneum, making you feel pain.
There is also a hypothesis that as breathing volume increases, the diaphragm is stimulated, causing pain.
In the same context, the pain gets worse when you eat and run. When food enters the stomach and intestines, the stomach expands. It can be interpreted as there is more water inside the water balloon. As the volume of the organ increases, the friction area expands, causing more pain.
There is also a ‘respiratory volume increase theory’ that states that pain occurs by stimulating the diaphragm, which plays an important role in breathing. This hypothesis states that when you exercise, your breathing volume suddenly increases, causing spasms in the diaphragm, causing pain. There is also the ‘stomach distention theory’, which states that after eating, the stomach swells and irritates the diaphragm, causing side pain.
I’m afraid of the pain in my side, but running has benefits such as strengthening the heart, consuming calories, and strengthening muscles.
People with severe side stitches may be reluctant to run, but running has many health benefits. Running regularly can strengthen your heart and improve your immunity and energy. Calorie consumption is also high at about 700 Kcal (based on an adult weighing 70 kg), so it is also beneficial for weight control. It is also good for developing lower body muscles such as hips, thighs, and calves.
It is also beneficial for mental health. Research has shown that runners have stronger connections than the general population between a brain region called the frontal network and the neural regions responsible for working memory and self-control. The analysis is that the cognitive abilities required when running and the effects of aerobic exercise are combined. When running, you need to consider whether or not you will collide with surrounding objects, so judgment and attention are required.
Exercise 2-3 hours after eating, and if you experience side pain, stop exercising and rest.
If you have frequent side pain, it is helpful to run 2-3 hours after eating rather than exercising right away. It is also a good idea to relax your muscles by stretching your sides for about 10 minutes before exercising. However, if you experience side pain like Seol In-ah, it is wise to stop exercising without enduring the pain. Sitting comfortably, taking deep breaths, or lightly massaging the painful area can relieve the pain. A survey of 600 Australian adults who experienced side stitching found that about 40% said the pain went away quickly when they took deep breaths.
