Which is better, a treadmill or running?

Usually, many friends prefer to exercise on a treadmill. Running on a treadmill not only has relatively few geographical restrictions, but also has a very good exercise effect. When running on a treadmill, you can not only control the frequency and time of running, but also make the body more relaxed. Let us find out which is better, treadmill or running.

1. When you run on the treadmill, you are alone and can concentrate on running without any distractions.

2. The treadmill can set the slope. The belt is smooth and the running board also has a dampening effect.

3. It is not easy to get injured when running on a treadmill, and it is easy to persist. Even if you accidentally fall, treadmills are now equipped with safety keys. Once the key falls, the machine will gradually stop.

4. Generally speaking, running on a treadmill saves about 20% of physical energy compared to running on asphalt roads. So running on a playground or gravel road will be more tiring than on a treadmill.

5. Not easily affected by weather conditions. The air quality in inland cities is not very good, and there is sometimes sandstorm weather in spring. It is not suitable to exercise when it is too cold or too hot. The indoor environment is relatively quiet and the temperature is more balanced than outdoors, so you can dress simply.

6. Running in the gym can create a competitive atmosphere and achieve better exercise results. You can also watch the show while running, and it doesn’t feel too tiring. The gym also has personal trainers who can provide targeted guidance. The treadmill can also control the speed and mode, and can be set to run in steps or incline.

7. When running outdoors, the ground is often too hard, and the ankle and knee joints will be under great pressure for a long time. It would be best if you could run on grass or in the suburbs with good air quality, but this kind of environment is hard to find in today's big cities. The treadmill belt has a shock-absorbing effect similar to grass, which can effectively protect the joints.

8. High-end electric treadmills come with several sets of running programs, which can intelligently change the running speed and slope for runners with different fitness purposes to achieve the maximum training effect.

When running normally, it is difficult to accurately control the frequency and time of running. If the frequency of running is too fast or too slow, the fitness and weight loss effects achieved by running will be affected to a certain extent. If the posture is not correct when running for a long time, the knee joint may have different degrees of pain.
