Following the "Ice Bucket Challenge", the "Bottle Cap Challenge" has become popular among celebrities recently, including the well-known American Hollywood star Jayne Statham, as well as domestic artists Hannah Quinlivan, Nicholas Tse, Donnie Yen, etc., all of whom successfully kicked the bottle cap with their agility and shared the exciting videos on their personal Instagram. Domestic rehabilitation doctors believe that this movement is difficult for ordinary people, and they urge people to be careful as there are potential sports injuries to four major parts of the body. In addition, from the perspective of fighting competition rules, it is a "gorgeous but flawed move", reminding you that you must master small skills and tricks to complete the task.

The bottle cap kicking challenge became an overnight internet sensation! Attract celebrities to follow the challenge

The "bottle cap challenge" was initiated by UFC fighting star Max Holloway. It became an overnight Internet sensation and became a challenge movement imitated by celebrities. When everyone saw Donnie Yen successfully complete the challenge by blindfolding himself, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Even Nicholas Tse's cool kicking off of two bottle caps in one breath seemed amazing; of course, female star Kun Ling's ease and elegance in kicking off the bottle caps also made people watch again and again. How did they do it? If you also want to try it, what should you pay attention to before and during the movements to avoid injury?

Rehabilitation doctor: The bottle cap kicking challenge is a high-difficulty move and the kicking height should be increased gradually

Wang Siheng (Dr. Scott), a resident physician in the rehabilitation department of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said that the "bottle cap challenge" may seem like a simple spinning kick, but it is actually a highly difficult move. People often joke, "My brother has practiced it before, so children shouldn't learn it or try it easily." Therefore, if you do not do stretching and warm-up beforehand, you may still suffer sports injuries, especially the waist, knees, hips, and ankles. Also, if the foot that serves as the fulcrum is not firmly planted and a roundhouse kick misses, you may fall accidentally, which can result in a sprained waist or ankle at the very least, or a broken bone at the worst.

It is recommended that beginners adopt a gradual pace, starting out like running a 100-meter race, running half the distance first, then 70% of the distance, and after getting used to it, run the 100 meters. The same is true for kicking a bottle cap. At the beginning, the rotation angle and the kicking height should be relatively small. After you become proficient, you can slowly increase the angle and height, and aiming at the bottle cap should be the final goal. Don't be too anxious and try to kick the bottle cap away with all your strength at once. If you use too much force, the rebound force will be relatively large, and your chance of injury will naturally increase.

Karate expert: Bottle cap kicking challenge is a "gorgeous but flawed move"

In addition, Dr. Lin Xingqing, who has learned karate and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is currently the chief physician of the Rehabilitation Department of Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and is also a partner of the Mixed Martial Arts Association of the Republic of China, said that he had also successfully challenged the bottle cap kicking challenge recently. He laughed and said that he had to try many times before he succeeded, and his movements were not as beautiful as those of professional athletes. However, from the perspective of a martial artist, he believes that this move is common in Taekwondo, Karate, fighting, and free fighting. Since the rotation angle reaches 360 degrees, a large torque is required, and the time from starting the movement to contacting the target is relatively long, it is a "gorgeous but flawed move." Therefore, it is rarely used in official competitions because this action can easily lead to a breakthrough by the opponent, giving the opponent a chance to score.

Be careful to prevent sports injuries in the waist, knees, hip joints and ankles. The key to success is...

If ordinary people also want to try it, first of all, they must have a good sense of balance and good muscle control strength. When rotating the waist, do not suddenly use too much force. Do not rely on brute force, but rely on some small skills: generate rotation through the power chain of the whole body, lift your feet when approaching the target, let the bottom of your feet rub against the bottle cap, and use friction to rotate the bottle cap. This can avoid sports injuries in the four major parts of the waist, knees, hips, and ankles. And if you do it under the guidance of professional athletes, you will be able to make a name for yourself!
