1. calorie consumption: whether beginners or roller skaters wear roller skates, they will consume 570 to 1 150 calories per hour, which is equivalent to 75% of the calories consumed by moderate jogging. Therefore, roller skating is similar to running in terms of heat consumption, but it may be slightly higher.
2. Cardiopulmonary function: Both roller skating and running can improve cardiopulmonary function. Running may improve the maximum oxygen uptake more effectively, which is an important index to measure aerobic exercise ability. In contrast, the oxygen consumption of roller skating may be 90% of that of running, and it may be slightly inferior to running in maintaining the optimal intensity of aerobic exercise.
3. Impact on the knee: Running has a greater impact on the knee than roller skating, so roller skating may be a better choice for people with knee injuries or excessive use.
4. Improvement of balance ability: Roller skating is very helpful to improve balance ability. In speed roller skating, the "curve" technology has certain requirements for the cooperation of participants. Through long-term practice, one's flexibility and coordination can be greatly improved.
5. Exercise of whole body muscles: Running is mainly the exercise of leg muscles, while roller skating involves not only leg muscles, but also the coordination of whole body muscles and joints. Therefore, roller skating may be more comprehensive for the whole body muscle exercise.
6. Influence on spirit: Running may produce a monotonous feeling, while roller skating is more interesting and changeable, which may stimulate participants' interest and enthusiasm.
To sum up, both roller skating and running are beneficial to exercise, but the specific benefits may vary according to personal preferences and physical condition. It is suggested to choose a suitable exercise mode and pay attention to safety during exercise.
