First, it helps to improve cardiopulmonary function;
1. Long-distance running is a whole-body exercise suitable for all ages, mainly lower limbs. It has many advantages. You will find that people who insist on long-distance running have strong cardiopulmonary function. Good cardiopulmonary function is a sign of a person's health. People who insist on running three times a week for more than 20-40 minutes each time for half a year have good heart function. Their heart rate will be slower than that of people who don't exercise 10-20 beats/min. People with slow heartbeat will consume less energy, and climbing mountains and doing manual work will not be easy to get tired.
2, long-term adherence to long-distance running, also helps to improve lung capacity. They inhale 30%-60% more gas each time than people who don't exercise. If the vital capacity of people who don't exercise is 3500 ml, their vital capacity can reach more than 4500 ml. People with large lung capacity are not prone to asthma, chest tightness and shortness of breath after exercise.
Second, it can prevent osteoporosis;
Nowadays, many white-collar workers sit in the office all the year round, and it is rare to get some sunshine, so the probability of osteoporosis in advance is getting higher and higher. Long-distance running can promote muscle contraction, thicken muscle fibers and make muscles more elastic, thus promoting calcium absorption and strengthening bone metabolism. The occurrence of osteoporosis is closely related to muscle atrophy. Therefore, it is rarely found that people who often run long distances will suffer from osteoporosis. On the other hand, long-distance running is often carried out outdoors. Sunbathing can promote the absorption of calcium and is also one of the methods to prevent osteoporosis.
Third, it is not easy to catch a cold;
People who carefully observe long-distance running will find that most of them are thin, with thick calves and thighs, but particularly thin waists. This is related to the characteristics of long-distance running, which is a whole-body exercise with lower limbs as the main part and needs a lot of muscles to support it. In the process of running, the whole body fat will be mobilized. So their legs will be thicker, but their waists will be particularly thin. Persisting in long-distance running can also improve immunity and prevent colds. Because, people who often run long distances are rich in muscles, and the muscles are rich in protein and protein, which are essential components of immunoglobulin synthesis.
Fourth, make your mood more optimistic.
1, go running to exercise. People who suffer from insomnia due to stress will greatly improve their sleep and mental state after running for one month. In fact, not only long-distance running, but all sports help to improve a person's psychological mood. Considering psychological and social factors, exercise can increase muscle tension and relaxation. There is a medical treatment-biofeedback, which uses this principle. Biologically speaking, exercise increases serotonin in the brain. 5- hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a messenger that can produce happy emotions, which affects almost all aspects of brain activity, which is also the reason why exercise makes people happy.
Most people who insist on long-distance running are particularly confident. There is a transition from anaerobic to aerobic during long-distance running, and symptoms such as dry mouth, sore throat and fatigue will appear during the process. Once you get over it, people will feel particularly proud. People who insist on long-distance running have perseverance and confidence unimaginable to ordinary people.
