Does jogging make your legs thicker?

Jogging is a very good form of sport and has won unanimous praise from many people. Many people have greatly improved their physical fitness and reduced the risk of disease through jogging. However, many people have great doubts about whether jogging will make the legs thicker. Let us answer this interesting topic for everyone: Will jogging make the legs thicker?

All muscles that are in motion are more likely to absorb nutrients than muscles that have not been used for a long time. Exercise can also improve

The level of growth hormone, but whether each person's legs will become thicker during exercise depends on the specific situation:

1. Measure the way you exercise. One of the main conditions for developing muscles during high strength training. General jogging, relaxing running, and long-distance running not for the purpose of competitive results are all relatively gentle exercises, and do not develop muscles to a relatively small extent. Other exercises that are relatively gentle in terms of strength include: cycling, easy rope skipping, swimming, etc. However, fast running and strength training are of higher intensity. At the same time, pay attention to using gentle force during exercise, disperse the force, and let more muscle groups bear the force, which can disperse the burden on the muscles.

2. It depends on your diet. A normal diet can only contribute a limited amount to muscle growth. Even during the weight loss phase, you still need to ensure 0.6-1g/kg of body weight of protein and appropriate carbohydrates. In this case, it is still difficult to make muscles grow quickly.

Jogging may increase the problem of thick legs to a certain extent, but as long as we adopt a scientific running method, this will not be the case. A scientific running method can also effectively improve our own running quality and bring us the greatest running effect in the shortest running time.
