At first, swimming was in the anaerobic exercise stage. Energy consumption mainly depends on anaerobic glycolysis of sugar. At this stage, the exercise is very intense, people are short of breath and lack of oxygen, and they don't use fat at all. Continue to exercise, and the human body begins to enter the aerobic exercise period. In the next hour, in the state of moderate intensity exercise, the aerobic metabolism of sugar provides energy supply. You won't burn fat this hour.
At the same time, at the water temperature below body temperature, the comprehensive massage effect of water is more likely to promote the growth of subcutaneous fat in human body.
In addition, many people will feel hungry after swimming, so they need to consume more energy than before. At the same time, due to fatigue, the quality of sleep is improved, which is also the reason why they failed to lose weight by swimming.
Myth: Swimming can get bigger.
If you compare a swimmer with a bodybuilder, you will find that the former is relatively insignificant in muscle size.
Swimming relies on high-frequency and low-intensity muscle movements to realize the lateral progress of the body. Every movement stretches the muscles very fully, which can only improve the lines of the muscles and improve their flexibility. The increase of muscle mass depends on high-intensity exercise, especially weight-bearing exercise, so it is the best choice to go to the gym for equipment training in order to increase muscle mass.
