What is the function of leg strength training equipment?

Most men hope to have stronger leg strength, especially young people, who often do various sports, such as basketball, football, badminton, etc. Those with stronger leg strength will have strong explosive power when doing these sports, so they will have an advantage. But if your leg strength is not strong enough, don't be discouraged. As long as you strengthen your exercise in your daily life, you can enhance your leg muscle strength. It is worth mentioning that there are many training equipment specifically for legs in the gym now, which can be used.

Benefits of leg strength training equipment:

1. Delaying Aging

Studies have shown that people who do not regularly participate in physical exercise reach their maximum muscle strength between the ages of 20 and 25, and will lose about 10% of their muscle mass and muscle strength every ten years thereafter. After the age of 60, the loss of strength will be more rapid. Another important manifestation of decreased muscle strength is slowing down of movements, slower walking speed and smaller steps. The only way to increase muscle mass and strength is through strength training.

2. Reduce Obesity

Increasing muscle mass can help increase your metabolism and reduce fat. Even without exercise, each kilogram of muscle burns 75 to 110 calories per day. For every kilogram of muscle gained, the calories burned are equivalent to losing 3 to 5 kilograms of fat in a year. And the increase in muscle strength can take your workout to the next level and burn body fat more effectively.

Leg muscle strength training:

Place the quadriceps exercise machine. In most health clubs this is called a leg extension machine. Sit in the seat, stretch your feet (opposite points), focus on your quadriceps, and lift them up slowly. Then return to the starting position and repeat the same action. With one side being dominant, it is important to work on the weaker side to gain strength. Remember to raise the dumbbells slowly and then lower them slowly. The reaction force of lowering the dumbbells helps to build strength. To prevent the pendulum action, count to 4 seconds, hold the upward movement for 1 to 2 seconds, then count to 4 seconds and return to the initial position. Building thigh strength can also increase swing stability.

Back muscle strength training:

Adjusting the fitness equipment will help strengthen the upper back muscles, which is generally called the rear row machine. Sit on the machine with your chest resting on the padding and your hands grasping the parallel handles. To stretch your upper back muscles, bend your elbows and pull slowly, mimicking a rowing motion. When doing this exercise, you can count to 4, hold the upward movement for 1 to 2 seconds, then count to 4 seconds again and return to the starting position. A strong upper back can help protect your neck and shoulder girdle, while helping to prevent swing injuries.

Biceps strength training:

Sit on a weight bench with your feet together, torso upright, and holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended downward. Rotate your wrist so your palm is facing your thigh, and using one elbow as a pivot, slowly raise your other arm to shoulder height. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat the exercise with the other arm. When doing this exercise, count to 4, hold the upward movement for 1 to 2 seconds, then count to 4 seconds again and return to the starting position.
