I believe many people will have such a stereotype in their minds, that is, people who run regularly are generally thinner in body and muscles, but they look strong like Hercules in a Hercules competition, while those who exercise have larger muscle circumference and more obvious muscle lines. Although many people know some principles, they say specific reasons. So why is it all about fitness, and everyone's body and muscles are different?
First, different training methods.
First of all, we should know that the growth of our human muscles is different muscle growth effects, because different training methods will lead to different muscles. The muscles you can exercise like running belong to capillaries and slow muscle fibers. Simply put, it is a thin figure that you can exercise like running, because when you run, you will exercise capillaries and slow down muscle fibers. The growth of capillaries and slow muscle fibers is mainly to provide and increase the oxygen supply capacity of the body, while the growth of muscle volume is almost negligible. After all, how long blood vessels can grow? Slow muscle fibers are relatively small.
Strength training, such as fitness, is to exercise fast muscle fibers and muscle blocks (pulp) to the human body. The growth of muscle mass (pulp) mainly comes from high-intensity anaerobic training, and the growth of fast muscle fiber mainly comes from high-intensity strength training, and the increase is mainly volume and strength. Then we come to the conclusion that the source of fast muscle fiber and muscle mass (pulp) is high-intensity anaerobic strength training.
Second, the differences caused by diet.
Like many people who don't know anything about fitness, they will think that protein powder is actually a specific medicine to increase muscle. They think that bodybuilders have so much muscle circumference because there are many factors from the role of protein powder. Like other fitness coaches, such as long-distance runners, their diet is definitely very different from that of bodybuilders, but diet is not the main reason for the difference in body muscles. Even long-distance runners have a lot of protein in their daily diet.
The difference in body shape and muscle caused by diet here mainly means that bodybuilders become thinner and weaker in the process of practice because of lack of enough energy and protein. There has always been a saying that they are poor in literature and rich in arms. Fitness training, no matter what kind of training method, will only make the body weaker and weaker if it can't guarantee the nutritional needs of the body.
Do you think the muscles from running look good, or the muscles from fitness strength training look good?
