The benefits of health sports equipment fitness

We all know that regular physical exercise can make us healthier, and it also has a good effect on losing weight and improving immunity. However, there are many ways to exercise in our daily life. Some sports equipment can help us achieve better sports and fitness results. Let's learn about the benefits of health sports equipment and fitness.

The benefits of health sports equipment fitness

Develop muscles and increase strength

The human body has 639 skeletal muscles. Generally speaking, muscle weight accounts for about 40.45% of body weight for men, and about 35% for women. The human body's motor organs, composed of muscles, bones, joints, ligaments, etc., enable the body to perform various complex movements. In other words, all kinds of movements produced by the human body originate from the contraction and extension of skeletal muscles.

Fitness equipment is one of the best ways to exercise your muscles. Because regular exercise with equipment can thicken muscle fibers and increase the number of capillaries in the muscles, thereby increasing the physiological cross-section of the muscles, making the muscles firmer, fuller and more developed. At the same time, due to the improvement of the regulatory function of the central nervous system, the muscles will also become stronger and more powerful. Not only that, fitness equipment can also promote bone metabolism and improve its resistance to compression, tension, torsion and other properties. In addition, it also has a good promoting effect on the growth and development of joints and ligaments.

Muscles are made up of thin muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are based on myofibrils as the basic unit. The number of muscle fibers in the human body is generally determined four or five months after birth, but the myofibrils are relatively variable. During equipment fitness, repeated and intense stimulation can increase the synthesis of protein, the basic component of muscle fibers. These proteins can synthesize new myofibrils, thereby thickening the muscle fibers, which means increasing muscle mass.

Under normal conditions, only 30 to 270 capillaries are open per square millimeter of muscle cross-section, and the rest are in a closed state. When doing exercise with equipment, up to 2,000 to 3,000 capillaries will open. After a long period of training, the number of open capillaries in the muscles increases greatly than usual, and as the muscle fibers become thicker, the muscles will naturally become developed and powerful.

Improve health and eliminate fat

Because the whole body is a unified whole, each muscle is closely connected to other systems in the body. Regular exercise with equipment can significantly improve the function of the circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system and central nervous system, thereby comprehensively enhancing the physical fitness and improving the health status.

The circulatory system is made up of the heart and blood vessels. The blood in the blood vessels throughout the body transports oxygen and nutrients to various parts of the human body. At the same time, it transports waste produced by cellular tissue activities to the lungs, kidneys, skin, etc. for excretion from the body. Equipment fitness can not only increase the capacity of the heart chamber and enhance the elasticity of the myocardium and blood vessels, but also improve the heart's contractility and vasodilation ability. Practice has shown that people who engage in equipment fitness for a long time can maintain a heart rate between 60 and 70 beats per minute. The average person's heart rate is between 70 and 90 beats. As the number of heartbeats decreases and the heart rests longer, the reserve capacity of heart function is greatly improved. From this, it is not difficult to see how important a heart that can bear a greater load plays in improving the body's mobility and adaptability, and enhancing metabolic function and immunity.

The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system, and together with the respiratory tract they make up the respiratory system. The lungs are composed of bronchi, blood vessels, and pulmonary lobules. There are 400 alveoli in each lung lobule. There are 500 to 700 million alveoli in the lungs. Human breathing, or gas exchange, takes place between the alveoli and the capillaries surrounding them. An adult breathes 12 to 18 times per minute when at rest, inhaling about 0.2 to 0.3 liters of oxygen. This amount of work can be accomplished with only 1/20 of the alveoli open. When exercising, the amount of activity increases and metabolism is enhanced, so more oxygen is needed. This requires the respiratory muscles to contract more forcefully, inhaling more fresh oxygen and exhaling more carbon dioxide. The impact of fitness equipment on respiratory function focuses on improving the depth of breathing, followed by the respiratory rate. This will increase the amount of gas exchange with each breath, which is beneficial for the rest of the respiratory muscles and improves the functional reserve of the respiratory system, thereby ensuring that the needs of gas exchange are met during exercise and improving the body's functional level.

Equipment fitness also has a good effect on the digestive system composed of the digestive tract and digestive glands. Because a lot of nutrients are consumed during muscle activity, they need to be replenished in time. At the same time, muscle activity can promote gastrointestinal motility and stimulate the secretion of digestive juices, thereby improving digestion and absorption capabilities. A good appetite will naturally increase your appetite.

Equipment fitness, like all sports, is carried out under the control of the central nervous system. In turn, exercise improves the strength, balance, and flexibility of the central nervous system. Many patients with neurasthenia have recovered through fitness equipment.

Practice has proved that exercise and scientific diet are the best ways to eliminate fat.

During exercise, the main sources of energy for the human body are sugar and fat. Exercise with fast speed, high intensity and short duration mainly consumes sugar; exercise with slow speed, low intensity and long duration mainly consumes fat. Studies have shown that with long-term, moderate-intensity exercise, fat energy can account for more than 40% of the body's total oxidative energy supply. If you want to use fitness equipment to lose weight, as long as you follow the training principles of light load, light equipment and long time, and persist for several months, you will definitely get very obvious results.

Beautify body shape and correct deformity

A beautiful body shape refers to the symmetry, harmony and balance of various parts of the body. From the appearance point of view, the lines and contours of the entire body and major muscle groups have reasonable curves. Genetics tells us that a person's height and limb proportions are unlikely to change due to the influence of genetic genes, but a person's weight and the chest circumference, waist circumference, leg circumference and hip circumference that are determined by weight can change. The "biggest feature" of fitness equipment is to "sculpt" the muscles and fat that make up the body. For example, if people with sloping shoulders develop their deltoid muscles, their shoulders will become broader, their acromion will be lifted, and their body shape will become more symmetrical; if people with narrow chest cavity and flat chest, their rib cage will become larger and the three-dimensional sense will be enhanced through training of the chest muscles, and their body shape will naturally become thicker and upright; if people with slender leg muscles, their body shape will become coordinated and strong by strengthening leg training. For those fat men or women whose fat accumulates in the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, as long as they stick to aerobic training, clear lines and a slim figure will no longer be a luxury. As your body shape improves, your posture will also be improved. For example, those who have no posture when standing or sitting, so-called snake-waisted and stretched-hipped people, after a period of training, their posture will naturally become straight-backed and upright when walking and sitting.

The above is an introduction to... After understanding it, we know that there are many kinds of sports and fitness equipment, and each kind of equipment can achieve different effects in conditioning the body. In addition, if we want to improve our bodies through exercise, we cannot always do strenuous exercise, but must have a gradual process.
