The benefits of crawling exercise When the human body is upright, the heart must overcome the gravity influence of blood if it wants to promote blood circulation. Moreover, when people exercise upright, the lower limbs are the main exercise organs, and the blood will be more distributed to the lower limbs, and the blood supply to the heart and above organs will be reduced. Compared with this, when crawling, the position of the heart and its above parts is reduced, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of the whole body and has a positive effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

When crawling, the head often droops and the blood flow increases, which can effectively improve the blood circulation of the brain.

Crawling is also good for other systems in the whole body:

Crawling can make the body stronger, because it is a coordinated activity of the whole body, and the muscles, ligaments, bones and even nervous system of the whole body should join in the exercise. Making bones harder can reduce osteoporosis and make joints softer. Make muscles more tense and elastic, more developed and contract freely.

Crawling is a good aerobic exercise. When the arm is stretched forward and the diaphragm is pulled open, a lot of oxygen will be inhaled. When the lower limbs move upward, the diaphragm will be compressed, prompting the lungs to discharge a lot of waste gas.

Crawling promotes the coordination of inhalation and exhalation of respiratory function, which is adjusted by moving when crawling. The faster you climb, the more you breathe deeply.

Crawling can promote the balance system of the vestibule of the brain. When crawling, especially when crawling with both hands and feet, the balance system of the vestibule of the brain is needed to maintain the balance of the body, so that it can be exercised and strengthened.

Crawling movement is a kind of horizontal movement, which is relative to vertical movement. The so-called horizontal movement refers to all kinds of movements made by athletes in the state that their bodies are basically parallel to the ground during the movement, while the vertical movement refers to all kinds of movements made by athletes in the state that their bodies are perpendicular to the ground during the movement.

Such as walking, running, jumping, etc. The exercise in which people use many traditional fitness equipment is also vertical exercise, such as treadmills. Studies have shown that gravity has some side effects on the human body, that is, if people exercise vertically for a long time, it will have some effects on some aspects of the body. Some people have spinal problems (stiff vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae) and organ prolapse (including prolapse of stomach, kidney and uterus), which are all related to the side effects of gravity.

Under horizontal movement, the pressure of gravity on the third lumbar vertebra is the smallest, so the side effects of gravity on human body can be eliminated and reduced. If people crawl for a long time, it can relieve and improve the pressure on the spine. It is very good exercise for sedentary people.
