The benefits of climbing stairs
1, when climbing stairs, muscles contract and relax rhythmically with the acceleration of breathing, which can accelerate blood circulation, promote human energy metabolism, increase myocardial oxygen supply, enhance cardiopulmonary function, make blood circulation smooth, keep cardiovascular system healthy and prevent hypertension.
2. Eating more calories is a good way to lose weight. According to estimates, in the same time, climbing stairs consumes twice as much heat as playing badminton, four times as much as playing table tennis and three times as much as walking, which is basically the same as climbing mountains.
3. In the process of climbing stairs, due to the continuous activities of the lower back and lower limbs, the strength of muscles and ligaments in these parts of the body is enhanced, and the joint function is improved, thus maintaining the flexibility of joints and avoiding the occurrence of ossification. There was an eight-year follow-up survey, in which 26 56-year-old subjects with basically the same physical condition were selected. The results showed that none of the 26 people who insisted on climbing stairs had leg joint disease, healthy muscles and strong steps. Another 26 people did not participate in sports, 12 people felt cold and numb in their legs and could not walk. 14 people have arthritis and stiff joints.
4, climbing stairs consumes a lot of physical strength, people are prone to hunger, appetite becomes better, and the function of the digestive system can be enhanced. In addition, due to repeated abdominal exertion, intestinal peristalsis is aggravated, which can effectively prevent constipation.
5, make the nervous system in the best rest state, which is conducive to sleep and avoid anxiety.
pay attention to
Climbing stairs is a weight-bearing exercise, and all joints below the waist have to bear the weight of their own bodies, especially their knees. When climbing stairs, the knee joint should bear 3-4 times the weight. Take a person who weighs 60 kilograms as an example. When walking on a flat road, your knees bear 60 kilograms, but when climbing stairs, the weight of your knees becomes as high as 240 kilograms, which is equivalent to the weight of a piano. And the faster the speed, the greater the pressure on the knee. Moreover, when climbing stairs, the curvature of knee joint increases, and the pressure between patella and femur increases accordingly, which will aggravate the pain of knee joint.
