Roller skating is very beneficial to the balance, flexibility, adaptability and thinking ability of the body. The balance and coordination function of the body is mainly restricted by the flexibility, excitability and inhibition of the conversion ability of the nervous system. The human nervous system is one of the earliest and fastest developing systems, so children can exercise the function of the central nervous system as early as possible in the sensitive period of nervous system development, so that the body movements are coordinated, flexible, soft and powerful, which will benefit you for life. Roller skating also has the function of burning fat, which will prevent the symptoms of childhood obesity.
Second, exercise the ability and flexibility of joint support.
When playing roller skating, the knee joint and ankle joint need to support the body properly, and complete the actions such as supporting, sliding and turning, which has a good exercise effect on the supporting ability of the joint, especially the flexibility. The investigation on the problem of falls in the elderly shows that the supporting ability and flexibility of ankle joint are the key factors to prevent falls. Therefore, both children, teenagers and adults can benefit from roller skating.
Third, aerobic exercise can improve the whole body and mind.
Correct roller skating can actually improve your whole body and mind, because roller skating itself is a kind of aerobic exercise for the whole body. An athlete who has mastered the basic skills of roller skating will have an "effective exercise heart rate" of 120 beats/minute during roller skating. At the same time, in the process of roller skating, the muscles of the waist, buttocks, thighs and ankles are exerting strength. People with good skills will use reasonable swing arms to strengthen the balance of the body, improve the sliding effect and exercise the upper limbs and even the chest muscles. So roller skating is in line with the basic elements of aerobic exercise.
Generally speaking, the maximum oxygen consumption of roller skating (the benchmark for measuring exercise intensity) is 90% of that of running, which is very effective for maintaining the optimal intensity of aerobic exercise. According to research, the heartbeat measured when skating at a speed of 23 km/h is 74% of the maximum heartbeat. It is a typical aerobic exercise, which can strengthen the cardiovascular system and burn fat. When the speed is increased to 28 km/h, the heart rate will reach 85% of the highest heart rate, improving muscle endurance. Through constant pulley movement, you should be able to adjust your body to the best condition.
Of course, from the perspective of developing cardiopulmonary endurance, roller skating is really not as good as running or brisk walking. Studies have confirmed that roller skating consumes less calories than running and has little effect on cardiopulmonary function. However, the damage of roller skating to joints is less than that of running, especially its interest and exercise effect on the flexibility of the whole body are more likely to make people interested and stick to it than running.
Because roller skating will cause the wheel to rotate when stepping on it, the elasticity of the wheel made of polyurethane has little effect on the joints, so the elderly are also engaged in this sport. Wear a helmet and protective gear, and the risk of falling injury is relatively small.
Not only that, roller skating can also cultivate people's will and enterprising spirit, which is conducive to the development of children's good psychological quality. For adults, roller skating can relieve stress, make them feel happy and relax their nerves, which has dual functions of leisure and fitness.
