I believe everyone is familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of sit-ups, and even many people do it every day. Many people think that doing more sit-ups can exercise and reduce abdominal fat. The advantages and disadvantages of sit-ups are shared below.

Advantages and disadvantages of sit-ups 1 Four advantages of doing sit-ups:

1, can reduce abdomen and groin: Doing sit-ups can exercise abdominal muscles, stimulate groin, improve abdominal blood circulation and stretch back muscles. Abdominal muscle tightening can better protect the internal organs in abdominal cavity, promote abdominal blood circulation, alleviate gynecological problems to some extent, and is a kind of exercise that is beneficial to girls and enhances immunity.

2. Increase the strength of abdominal muscles. In the process of doing sit-ups, the abdominal muscles exert more force. Long-term exercise can enhance the strength of the abdomen and make the abdominal muscles more developed. If you can cooperate with other aerobic exercises, you can not only lose weight, but also play a bodybuilding role, while simple sit-ups can not consume fat better.

3, can be conducive to gastrointestinal movement. When doing sit-ups, it is necessary to coordinate breathing methods, which can stimulate the peristalsis of the stomach during exercise, facilitate the discharge of excreta in the body, dredge the air in the stomach, and prevent constipation well.

4. Sit-ups are an exercise of perseverance. In fact, the exercise of sit-ups is not very large, but it needs to be persisted every day to maintain a certain exercise frequency. This is a way to test a person's perseverance. Persisting in small exercises is the best exercise for perseverance.

Disadvantages of sit-ups:

Regular sit-ups may compress nerves, cause back pain and even cause disc herniation. Back pain and sprains often occur in blind or irregular sit-ups.

So it is necessary to do sit-ups correctly. Incorrect posture not only has no exercise effect, but will endanger your health. It's best to combine other exercise methods and don't do a single supine exercise too often.

Advantages and disadvantages of sit-ups II. What are the disadvantages of sit-ups?

1, the traditional sit-ups require the exerciser to put his head in his hands and bend the whole upper body to a position close to his knees. However, after research, sports experts point out that this kind of exercise is not only ineffective, but also harmful, because exercisers are still exercising hip flexors while using abdominal muscles, which may lead to back bending and spinal injury, especially for people with underdeveloped abdominal muscles.

2. The leverage of gluteal flexors may also lead to the compression of lumbar intervertebral disc.

3. In the process of lifting the upper body, exercisers often subconsciously exert their strength and hold their heads hard, which invisibly increases the chance of cervical spine injury.

4. The harm of straight leg sit-ups is particularly serious. According to the measurement, this movement posture will produce 3300 Newton force on the spine, which is highly related to the back injury.

Second, what are the benefits of sit-ups?

1, increase abdominal muscle strength. During sit-ups, the abdominal muscles exert more force. Long-term exercise is mainly to improve abdominal strength and make muscle groups more developed, which is one of the effective ways to exercise abdominal muscles. Combined with other aerobic exercises, it can play a role in losing weight and bodybuilding, while simple sit-ups can't consume fat better.

2. Exercise of Sit-ups Perseverance: In fact, the amount of exercise for each sit-up is not very large, but it is not easy to do it every day, so this simple exercise is a way to test your perseverance. Insisting on small sports will become a major event. Do you persist in your perseverance every day?

3, can be conducive to gastrointestinal movement, sit-ups need to cooperate with breathing methods, in the process of exercise can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, conducive to the discharge of excreta in the body, dredge the air in the stomach, can be a good prevention of constipation.

4, can reduce the belly and groin: Sit-ups are a very beneficial exercise for girls, which can stimulate groin while exercising abdominal muscles, improve abdominal blood circulation, stretch northern muscles, and make them get balanced and coordinated exercise. To some extent, it can alleviate gynecological problems and enhance immunity.

Advantages and disadvantages of sit-ups 3 Five misunderstandings in doing sit-ups:

Myth 1:

Some people don't have time to go to the gym to exercise, and they will choose to do some basic and effective simple exercises at home in order to lose weight. Sit-ups are a way that many people choose. Many people think that as long as they keep doing it, they can achieve the goal of losing weight.

Error correction: Simply relying on sit-ups can only achieve local fitness effect, because sit-ups are directly aimed at abdominal muscle groups, and the effect of long-term exercise may strengthen abdominal muscle strength, but other parts of the body, such as thighs and buttocks, get less exercise.

Therefore, the first thing to pay attention to is to effectively combine sit-ups with other fitness methods in order to achieve a perfect weight loss effect.

Myth 2:

Usually, many people do sit-ups quickly and fiercely, thinking that this is the performance of strengthening abdominal muscles. In fact, it is easy to strain the abdominal muscles.

Error correction: The correct way is to cross your hands on your chest and control your abdomen when sitting up. Or increase the difficulty, hold heavy objects with both hands, and increase the exercise effect.

Myth 3:

Many people will naturally deviate in a certain direction when doing sit-ups. This is not right, it will make the abdominal muscles move unevenly and lose their shape.

Error correction: You should try to control the direction of supine, don't deviate from the straight line, and slow down to exercise the control ability of abdominal muscles. It is best to feel the movement of abdominal muscles when you get up.

Myth 4:

Some people think that the slower you do sit-ups, the better the effect.

Error correction: it is helpful to slow down the speed appropriately, but the effect is poor if the speed is too slow. The most correct speed should be to get up faster and go down slowly, and the effect is the best.

Myth 5:

Most people do sit-ups with their hands behind their heads and their fingers crossed. (deduction)

Error correction: This is the biggest misunderstanding of sit-ups. Even some PE teachers teach students this way, which is totally misleading. Such gestures will put a burden on the cervical spine. The harder you buckle your head, the greater the load.

The correct way is to put your hands on your ears, and then put them inward (probably in the middle of the back of your head and outward). Just put your hands there gently, not too hard.
