Dr Carl Foster said: "inline skating can achieve the same fitness effect as running or cycling."
Dr. Foster is a professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and a medical consultant to the National Roller Skating Team.
199 1 compares the effects of inline skating, running and cycling on human body's heat consumption, cardiopulmonary function and muscle development. Among them, the data of 1 1 skating volunteers in four different sports modes, such as running, cycling and 30-minute continuous skating, were analyzed. And gradually accelerate to the rhythm of riding, the conclusions are as follows: heat consumption: after 30 minutes, the average continuous skating consumes 285 calories, and the heartbeat is 148 times per minute.
Intermittent skating (one minute racing and low-profile sprint, one minute vertical easy skating for 30 minutes) consumes 450 calories in 30 minutes.
Running for 30 minutes * * * consumes 350 calories, and the heartbeat is 148 times per minute.
Riding for 30 minutes * * * consumes 360 calories, and the heartbeat is 148 times per minute.
In short, the faster/harder you skate, the faster you burn calories.
Cardiopulmonary function endurance: In-line roller skating is better than cycling in endurance of cardiopulmonary function, but it can't achieve the effect of running.
The main reason is that cycling is easier to slide than skating, which reduces exercise strength, while running can't slide at all.
In-line roller skating can reach the limit of cardiopulmonary function by using harder and faster roller skating.
Muscle strengthening and development: Generally speaking, the purpose of fitness is to burn fat calories as much as possible, not muscle exercise.
According to the research report, 40% of the average woman's weight loss comes from the weight of the muscle layer.
Compared with riding a bicycle, roller skates can develop the muscles of hips and thighs in a more natural way. Another research report from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota pointed out that the developed muscles of roller skates are mainly distributed in the back half of thighs, buttocks and lower back.
If the skater strengthens the arm swing, it will also stimulate the muscles of the forearm and chest.
Note: Although roller skating is a safe, interesting and healthy exercise, we suggest that you consult your doctor before implementing any fitness program.
