What is an elliptical machine?
Elliptical machine, also known as spacewalker, is a good cardio-pulmonary exercise equipment, which is loved by many users and professionals. Elliptical machine has become a common exercise equipment in professional gymnasiums and family living rooms because of its slope design, resistance adjustment function, well-arranged exercise mode and ability to exercise a certain tissue muscle of lower limbs. Although there are some differences between different types of elliptical machines in quality and exercise comfort, this machine is undoubtedly a powerful weapon for exercisers to exercise cardiopulmonary function.
Elliptical machine In general fitness clubs, elliptical machine is a very common cardio-pulmonary fitness training tool, and it is also widely loved by users. The motion state of elliptical machine is similar to cross-country skiing, so the English name of elliptical machine is also called ellipticalcross-trainer. Elliptical machine has been designed for a short time, but it has developed rapidly because it is loved by the public. Unfortunately, so far, there is not much information about the sports physiological reaction of this new sports tool in the professional books of sports physiology.
The biggest feature of the elliptical machine is that the human body does not focus on the knee joint when exercising with it. Using elliptical machine for exercise can not only prevent, reduce and relieve cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis and upper back pain, but also avoid the impact force generated during running, and better protect joints, thus having a better safety factor. Elliptic function exercises and stimulates the regulation of sciatic nerve, enhances the endurance and strength of waist muscles, and achieves the effect of body shaping by stimulating buttocks, thighs, side waist and lower abdomen.
What should I pay attention to when using elliptical machine?
1, elliptical function organically combines the movements of arms and legs, which can coordinate limbs and shape a healthy body when used frequently. Long-term practice is helpful to improve physical endurance, exercise cardiopulmonary function, calm mind and improve sports ability.
The elliptical machine is suitable for all kinds of people. For healthy people, elliptical function can enhance physical fitness and improve physical fitness; For people with poor knees and ankles, when walking or running, the impact force generated when the feet touch the ground often makes the joints ache, so it is safer and more comfortable to exercise with an elliptical machine.
In the exercise place, we often see some exercisers mistake the elliptical machine for a treadmill. When exercising, only the legs exert force, and the arms only play a stabilizing role under the driving of the legs, or simply do not hold the handrails. When using the elliptical machine to exercise, if the hands and feet are not coordinated, the harder you work, the more nervous you are, and the more intense the confrontation between the upper and lower limbs is. It may also lead to fatigue, muscle strain and even fall down due to uncoordinated movements.
4. The correct use of the home elliptical machine is: gently hold the armrest above the instrument with both hands; Step forward with hands and feet in turn; After the movements of hands and feet reach a relatively coordinated level, the thrust and tension of hands gradually increase.
5. You can do two-way movements before and after practicing with the elliptical machine. When practicing, you can generally practice forward for 3 minutes, then do backward for 3 minutes, and practice for 5-6 minutes in a group. It is best to practice 3-4 groups in each activity. The frequency of action should be gradually accelerated, but not too fast, and it must be within your control.
