Do treadmills make your legs thicker
4hw.org: running has always been a long-lasting sports event in the fitness Festival. Now, due to the problems of the venue or environment, many people change outdoor running to indoor treadmill training. After a period of training, some people find that the legs are not thin, but stronger and have more muscles. Can treadmills really make the legs thicker? What are the skills of treadmill exercise? Let's look at the following Come and have a look!
Can the treadmill run with thick legs
1. When running, if you touch the ground first with the forefoot or the whole foot touches the ground at the same time, it will cause damage to the tibia and knee joints in the front of the calf, and it will strongly stimulate the calf muscles, resulting in the crus becoming thicker; if you try to hit the ground first with the heel, then roll from the heel to the foot This kind of running can reduce the pressure of running on ankle joint and avoid injury.
2. Keep the knee joint slightly curved when the foot is on the ground, do not straighten it, it has a buffering effect on the knee joint, it can stretch the calf, and the stimulation to the calf muscle is not strong. This kind of running will not make the calves thicker.
3. In the early stage of jogging, you will feel that your calves are 'long and thick'. This is because after running often, your calves are tired, stiff, stiff and tense, making you feel thicker.
The reason why the legs of treadmill become thicker
1. Poor landing technology leads to illusion.
Some people run with their toes, so their calves will be tired and tight, and they will feel their calves' growing up '. In fact, it's just an illusion. People's basic shape is natural, leg shape is also, because several times of running, the leg will not grow thick. In aerobic strength training, such as dumbbell exercise, barbell exercise, muscle expansion rate will not exceed 20%.
So in daily running, even if the calves become thicker, they will not exceed this ratio, which is almost invisible
2. Runners think that running has burned fat, so they can eat more, so that they can gain weight and their calves become thicker. It's not about running itself.
Specific suggestions for treadmill running
1. Pay attention to running posture. The correct running position should be from heel to forefoot
2. Relax after running. Stretch and relax your calves, rub and stretch.
3. Pay attention to running time and speed. General aerobic exercise time is 20 to 60 minutes, excessive will cause muscle fatigue and joint wear.
The heart rate range of aerobic exercise should be controlled within (220 age) & times; (60% - 80%). For example, a 20-year-old's heart rate range of aerobic exercise is 120 to 160 beats per minute. Fat will stop decomposing in the anaerobic state. Outside the above heart rate range, fat will not burn and the exercise effect cannot be guaranteed.
