Can archery lose weight? What's the effect?
First of all, archery requires few muscle groups, mainly triceps brachii, latissimus dorsi and rhomboid muscles with two arms. These are not big muscle groups. Secondly, archery doesn't have much exercise. It's like shooting at the recurve bow. The only stages of real exertion are lifting the bow, opening the bow, aiming at the position and unfolding. The whole process lasts about 20 ~ 40 seconds. Professional players seem to have 300 ~ 500 arrows a day, while amateur players have an average of 100 arrows a day, which is an amazing number. Other bow species are unfamiliar. After a day of archery, your arms and shoulders may be tired, but they are not as good as flat support or running. Of course, it will be different if you run back and forth at the speed of sprint every time you pull the arrow. Many publicity materials about archery will write about the benefits of archery. But only look at the mental state, concentration, body shape, weight loss and other benefits. In fact, the effect is hard to say. To lose weight, there are too many fat people around me who shoot arrows. Lose weight? It is much better to keep good eating and living habits than to spare poor time to exercise every day. If we simply discuss the energy consumption of archery, the previous figure is 40# 100 arrow, which is about 1500 calories ... 100 arrow. The traditional shooting takes about one and a half hours, and the reverse curve compound will be slower, which should be completed in two hours. If the action is correct, archery will consume more energy and aim harder after a long time. If the weight is right, the physical burden will be small. Archery is anaerobic exercise, and weight loss requires aerobic exercise. Archery doesn't consume much physical strength. You have to do sports, HIIT and archery for half an hour. I feel that archery will be weaker, but HIIT will make you exhausted.
