The first is the principle of exercise. Running is actually a low-intensity, long-term and repeated self-weight training. On the other hand, the treadmill adjusts the intensity of this self-weight training through the speed and slope of the runway.
But the elliptical machine is different. Elliptical machine uses mechanical structures such as pedals and handrails to bear the weight of human body, and then realizes the resistance in the movement process through flywheel. Therefore, the realization of exercise intensity is actually different.
Besides, sports safety. Many people will ignore this factor when doing aerobic exercise, but in fact this factor is quite important.
Any exercise we do, as long as there is a problem with safety, no matter how much we have practiced before, is for nothing.
In terms of safety, elliptical machines are much better than treadmills.
During running, our feet will alternately leave the ground. At the moment when our feet land, the impact force transmitted from our feet to our knees is equivalent to four times our weight.
Without professional training and posture correction, running is actually a kind of exercise that hurts the knee.
The elliptical machine will not have such a problem, because the pedal of the elliptical machine can bear the weight of the body, and the movement track is also a very gentle ellipse, and the knee joint will hardly receive any impact force during the movement.
Not only that, because of the existence of pedals and handrails, the posture and movements during exercise are very stable, and it is very simple to get started and use, so you can master it completely without spending too much energy.
Finally, talk about the exercise intensity of elliptical machine.
Many people think that the exercise effect (weight loss effect) of elliptical machine is not as good as that of treadmill, which is actually not quite right.
In fact, for most ordinary people, the weight loss effect of an aerobic exercise has nothing to do with the form of exercise, but more to do with the heart rate during exercise.
As long as we keep our heart rate at a consistent level in aerobic exercise, the weight loss effect of any aerobic exercise is similar.
Many people think that running is more tiring than elliptical machine because the subjective fatigue of running is the strongest among all aerobic exercises. The reason is that running concentrates too much burden on the lower body, which leads to the fatigue of the lower body muscles.
The advantage of elliptical machine lies in its movable handle, which can transfer the burden of leg muscles to upper body muscles through mechanical conduction. This can not only reduce the burden of leg muscles, but also improve the exercise effect of upper body muscles. Achieve the purpose of reducing body fat.
However, this statement is not entirely correct. In high-intensity aerobic exercise, because the elliptical machine has higher coordination with the body, the action frequency of exercise will be limited, while the treadmill has no mechanical parts, so the upper limit of exercise intensity is higher.
Generally speaking, elliptical machines are safer than treadmills. For ordinary people, exercise intensity and treadmill can reach the same level.
In the field of family fitness, the advantages of elliptical machine are actually more obvious. Using a treadmill can produce loud footsteps anyway, while an elliptical machine will not have such a problem. Most elliptical machines can be used silently.
It is not easy to persist, but it is easy to eat ash, which is the biggest pain point of household sports equipment. However, most household fitness equipment has done little in this respect.
Mobi- intelligent elliptical machine has made a lot of efforts in this regard. Mobi- intelligent elliptical machine can be used with mobi- fitness APP, which can be easily controlled by clicking on the screen.
In mobi- fitness, in addition to the basic data display and data recording, there is now an elliptical machine online live course, which is written by the fitness instructor and replaced by himself. Sports safety and sports effect are very good, and the sports atmosphere is also great, so that users can have a warm sports atmosphere at home.
