Of course! As the saying goes, "people get old first from their legs" and "people get old first." This statement makes sense. Climbing stairs is several times bigger than walking or running on the flat ground. It not only has the ability to run and jump, but also has the function of resisting the earth's magnetic force. Therefore, climbing stairs can not only increase the range of motion of hip joint, but also exercise the elasticity of ligaments and tendons of lower limb muscles, thus achieving the effect of strengthening tendons and bones. According to the measurement, a person consumes 65,438+0,000 kcal/hour when sitting still, 200 kcal/hour when walking, 550 kcal/hour when swimming and 65,438+0,000 kcal/hour when running stairs. Such a large energy consumption is a panacea for losing weight and fitness. The advantages of climbing stairs are: 1, enhancing cardiopulmonary function, making blood circulation smooth, keeping cardiovascular system healthy and preventing hypertension. 2, eating more calories can play a very good role in hindering the formation of obesity. According to estimates, in the same time, climbing stairs consumes twice as much heat as playing badminton, four times as much as playing table tennis and three times as much as walking, which is basically the same as climbing mountains. 3. It helps to keep joints flexible, avoid ossification, and enhance the strength of ligaments and muscles. There was an eight-year follow-up survey, in which 26 56-year-old subjects with basically the same physical condition were selected. The results showed that none of the 26 people who insisted on climbing stairs had leg joint disease, healthy muscles and strong steps. Another 26 people did not participate in sports, 12 people felt cold and numb in their legs and could not walk. 14 people have arthritis and stiff joints. 4, climbing stairs consumes a lot of physical strength, people are prone to hunger, appetite becomes better, and the function of the digestive system can be enhanced. In addition, due to repeated abdominal exertion, intestinal peristalsis is aggravated, which can effectively prevent constipation. 5, make the nervous system in the best rest state, which is conducive to sleep and avoid anxiety. The scientists also selected 20 employees (32 years old) with basically the same physical condition for follow-up test. The first batch of 10 employees insisted on climbing stairs for 2 years, and none of them suffered from insomnia and neurasthenia. At last 10, among those who didn't climb the building, 7 people suffered from insomnia and neurasthenia. As a fitness method suitable for all ages, running stairs is not affected by weather changes, and it doesn't take too much time or pay a penny. Even if you go home from work, try to avoid the elevator and climb the "peak" with your legs. This kind of exercise, which integrates fitness, weight loss and beauty, is not inferior to other fitness methods, so it is increasingly favored by urbanites and is expected to become one of the national fitness programs. Of course, we should participate in this sport scientifically, according to our abilities, step by step, and not recklessly, especially those with injuries and inflammation of knee joints, ligaments and soft tissues, which are not suitable for the weight-loss warm-up program in this city.
