not sure exactly wat it is but when you get it try and run through it for as long as you can and this should gradually increase the time that u can run b4 getting it !

I thought a stitch was when you body takes energy away from gut to help you run, and makes the gut stop digesting. Then it complains (hurts) because everything backs up.

2 things

During exercise, our blood moves away from the diaphragm to the limbs.
The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the stomach and abdomen from the heart and lungs.
It's one of the main muscles involved in breathing. Most scientists believe the pain is caused by a reduction in blood supply to the diaphragm, causing it to cramp.


or

The stitch is caused by fluids which the body finds hard to digest. This causes the gut to "tug" on the ligaments connecting it to the diaphragm.

build up of lactic acid as far as i know.

I was taught at school that it was lactic acid buildup...caused by your body burning fat for energy when your muscles can't get enough oxygen through your lungs

Work through it if you can & when your fitter they should go away...or get less.

It means you are all fat lumpy turds and you should try drinking less beer and stop scoffing all the pies and your body will like you better

It's your body's way of saying you are chucking all this shit down me now have some pain you fat cunt.

Ginge !

strange that i ONLY get it when running, i do 4 hours of kickboxing every sunday and 2 hours of that is circuit/ agressive exercise to warm every muscle and teach them to all work together at different excersies

just running for over 12 mins gives me it

cheers for the POSITIVE comment though

mrjenrst

It is a strange one mate as i have done a bit of boxing training, by a bit i mean i went 4 or 5 time really and i never got it and it was fairly hard.

I play football 3 times a week for 2 hours a time and i sometimes get a stich, i ask my self what i`ve done differently from previous games when i didnt get one but im fucked if i can work it out.


Sometimes there not to bad just a bit niggley but others can be proper sore, id like to no also the reason and if theres any good methods of reducing them

bump!

Ginge !

hey i was being a little arsey about the reply but not personal with it, just wanted to keep it a " normal" thread for once and there was a few reply starting to join in with stupidness, no offence ment AIMED JUST at you

sorry it seems i did, just was quicker to quote you thats all

It can be an number of things affecting you such as: Faliure to warm up correctly, poor beathing, food eaten up to 4 hours before you play, but most likely dehydration. A professional football player can lose 4 litres of water through sweat and playing conditons. Obviously you wont lose that much water as your not a professional, but try driniking about a litre of water before you play.

As Diamonds says, its diaphram related. Its not muscle pain but ligament and the constant jarring whilst running sometimes brings it on. General fitness and the bodys ability to process whatever diet your on can push it back a bit but everyone, even olympic athletes can get it.

MrsFrog

Well from what I can remember, there are several kinds of stitches.
1/ stitches around the clavicle or under the ribs
These are believed to be caused by blood flow disruption. Organs full of blood (liver, spleen) get slighly larger and disturb the diaphragm (which is used in the breathing mechanism). Or the diaphragm itself is sollicited too much during a cardio exercise, when breathing is increased. To stop them, slow down and breath deeply. Press on the liver (right side under the ribs) and breath out while bending over on your right side. If its on the left (spleen) then do the same on the left side!

2/ the ones in the gut/abdomen
These are usually caused by gases in dilated intestines. During exercise, the blood is redirected where it is needed, and secondary functions are slowed. The digestive track not being considered "vital", it can be "paralysed" for a while until strenuous activity is stopped.
Drink fresh water, plenty of it but in small gulps.

3/ the ones in the stomach
These are usually linked to digestion problems. They are felt under the sternum and above the belly button. Simply means the stomach hasn't quite finish digesting food. Should always leave about 3 hours between end of a meal and exercise.

Hope this helps and is still accurate as its been a long time!!
