First of all, it is good to support outdoor running. They think that outdoor running in the open air is very good, you can run anytime and anywhere, and it is easier to get close to nature in the morning and evening. Moreover, the treadmill may sometimes cause different degrees of injury because the speed can't keep up with the pace, especially when you just learn to use the treadmill, so you'd better stick to running outdoors.
As for those colleagues who think that the treadmill has a good weight-loss and fitness effect, they think that the treadmill can be set at a constant speed, while running outdoors will slow down the running speed because of themselves or environmental personnel, which will of course reduce the running effect and weight-loss effect, so it is better to use the treadmill.
What colleagues on both sides say seems to be reasonable, so which fitness and weight loss effect is good? Let's do an experiment today to see which one runs well.
Experimental method: find a volunteer, let him run on the treadmill in the gym for 40 minutes and on the outdoor track for 4.5 kilometers respectively, and finally test the calories and weight consumed in these two situations.
(The treadmill is sponsored by China professional gym fitness equipment manufacturer-Guangzhou Bofeite Fitness Equipment Co., Ltd.)
In this test, we used the HIIT test, that is, interspersed with high-intensity exercise. This running method is the most scientific and popular at present, and Bian Xiao will introduce it to HIIT later in the article.
The final result is as follows.
Comparison chart of operation effect
Now look at the data, outdoor and treadmill, the same mileage and time, outdoor running consumes 292 calories, gym running consumes 266 calories, almost the same, and the weight consumed is 0.6 kg, so it can be basically judged that the effects of outdoor and treadmill should be similar, so this test really shows that the running effects of the two are neck and neck. In addition to the test, we also contacted the professional coach in the gym to answer.
The fitness coach replied that there is little difference between the two, so we should compare them in many aspects.
An 8-year-old fitness instructor from Guangzhou told us: In fact, the gap between outdoor running and gym running is not too big, depending on how you choose, but from the perspective of health and lasting exercise, the treadmill is more effective and outdoor running is not safe. Some people were still wearing headphones and accidentally bumped into them. To say the least, if they hit a car, something will happen to them. Nowadays, young people can't get up in the morning and miss fun run, but fun run is too unsafe.
Actually, the treadmill is set for exercise. For example, this treadmill produced by Bofeite has a conveyor belt, which can increase the friction between athletes and it, and the effect is better than that on the road outside. Secondly, the treadmill can freely adjust the slope, and the change of road slope can change the whole body state of the runner; Smarter, the treadmill can better detect the heart rate and monitor the heat. The most important thing is the atmosphere of the gym now. When everyone started running on a row of treadmills, they felt that time passed quickly and the effect was achieved.
In fact, the biggest problem facing outdoor running is air quality, and the venue for outdoor running is limited. The total amount of calories and fat consumed by running is definitely not as good as that of a treadmill.
Crazy running is unscientific. Intermittent running burns the most fat and has the best effect.
Keeping the same training intensity, the fat burning effect is not as effective as high-intensity interval training. Fitness coach Yang Zhao told us that this is the popular "HIIT". This special training mode burns fat and calories with high quality in a short time, which is very suitable for modern people's lifestyle.
Usually, 20 minutes of HIIT20 training is more effective than running on a treadmill for an hour. The key is that the former works better, saving as much as 40 minutes. This training method will make you exhaust 100% of your physical strength in 20 minutes. The specific method is 1 minute continuous high-intensity exercise and rest for 20 seconds. At least 6 cycles.
