Every different exercise has different characteristics, and long-term exercise also affects body shape changes. Although running and swimming are both aerobic exercises, there are still great differences in shaping the body.

The difference between these two sports:

Swimming: full-body exercise (upper and lower limbs alternately exert strength, or exert strength at the same time)

Running: lower limb activity (don't tell me that your arms are tired when running, unless you swing your arms too much)

In fact, the answer is very simple, just look at the figure of long-distance runners and swimmers at the sports meeting, but then again, aerobic exercise has a particularly good effect on reducing fat, but its effect on shaping is limited, so anaerobic exercise equipment training is the basis and foundation of shaping.

Swimming is about four times as much as running.

Swimming consumes a lot of energy. This is because the resistance of water when swimming is much greater than that of air when moving on land, so it is very difficult to walk in the water, and then swimming will definitely consume more calories. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of water is 24 times higher than that of air, and the water temperature is generally lower than that of air, which is also beneficial to heat dissipation and consumption.

So swimming consumes much more energy than running and other land projects, so the effect of losing weight is more obvious.
