Can anaerobic exercise help you lose weight?

Do you all know about anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise? If you all know about anaerobic exercise, do you know that anaerobic exercise can help you lose weight? In fact, everyone must still have doubts in their minds. In fact, we still need to simply distinguish between anaerobic exercise and aerobic exercise. Next, the editor will introduce aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise to you, and introduce whether anaerobic exercise can help lose weight. You can take a good look at it.

Aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise are not simply distinguished based on the sports events, but rather based on the way substances are metabolized in the human body during exercise. In other words, it depends on whether the energy for muscle contraction during exercise comes from aerobic metabolism or anaerobic metabolism.

Aerobic exercise refers to the period during which the human body mainly engages in aerobic metabolism. It reflects that the human body performs physical fitness exercises under the condition of sufficient oxygen supply, and the energy generated by the metabolism of sugar, fat and amino acids is supplied to the body's needs. It is characterized by low intensity, rhythm and long duration. The main purpose of aerobic exercise is to increase your heart rate and exercise your heart, which is why aerobic exercise is also called cardiovascular exercise. In addition, aerobic exercise requires a large amount of oxygen, and the main energy consumed by the body is carbohydrates and fat. It prevents osteoporosis and regulates psychological and mental state. Because the exercise intensity is relatively mild, it is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

The appropriate heart rate for aerobic exercise is (220-age)×(60%～85%). For example, for a 35-year-old man, according to this formula, the ideal heart rate range when exercising is 111 beats per minute at the lower limit and 158 beats per minute at the upper limit. This is the heart rate range that this man should achieve during aerobic exercise during his exercise.

Common aerobic exercises include jogging, brisk walking, cycling, going up and down stairs, climbing, skipping rope and long-distance swimming. Generally, you should do aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week, or it is better to do it every other day. Excessive aerobic exercise can easily cause fatigue.

Anaerobic exercise refers to the human body performing some high-speed, intense exercise in a short period of time. When the human body exercises hard, the oxygen supply is insufficient, or the sugar in the body does not have time to be broken down by oxygen, and the body has to rely on "anaerobic energy supply", that is, the sugar in the body uses anaerobic fermentation to generate energy to supply the body's needs. The metabolites of anaerobic metabolism can only be carbohydrates, not fats and proteins. In addition, during anaerobic metabolism, sugar is broken down into lactic acid through anaerobic glycolysis, which can cause muscle fatigue and soreness. This is why we feel muscle soreness when we do strenuous exercise or high-intensity exercise for a long time. Common anaerobic exercises include equipment training, weightlifting and throwing, running, long jump, tug-of-war, etc.

After reading the above knowledge, have you benefited a lot? In fact, the editor believes that no matter what aerobic or anaerobic exercise you do, as long as you are willing to do exercise, it is actually very beneficial to the body. After all, with the development of society, many people don’t like sports anymore. While exercising, everyone must ensure that they absorb certain nutrients and eat a balanced diet.
