What muscles can swimming exercise?

In real life, many people love swimming, especially modern young people. Swimming in their spare time at work can not only exercise their body, but also help maintain a slim figure. In addition, long-term swimming can also achieve the effect of weight loss and exercise, which is very good for the body. Different swimming postures can exercise different parts of the body, so what muscles can swimming exercise? Let us take a look at it together below.

Swimming is a whole-body exercise that can improve your cardiopulmonary function and exercise almost all of your muscles. Especially if you persist in regular intensive training, you can be "reborn" in just a few months. In the water, people's bones are fully relaxed, and they have a chance to "stretch", which is good for maintaining an upright body. For growing teenagers, regular swimming exercises can help them grow taller.

⑴Swimming consumes a lot of energy. This is because the resistance of water when swimming is much greater than the resistance of air during land sports. Walking in the water is strenuous, and swimming will definitely consume more calories. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of water is 24 times greater than that of air, and the water temperature is generally lower than the air temperature, which is also conducive to heat dissipation and heat consumption. Therefore, the energy consumed in swimming is much greater than that in land activities such as running, so the weight loss effect is more obvious.

⑵It can avoid sports injuries of lower limbs and waist. When doing weight loss exercises on land, due to the heavy weight of obese people, the body (especially the lower limbs and waist) has to bear a great gravity load, which reduces exercise ability, makes people easily fatigued, greatly reduces the interest in weight loss exercises, and may damage the joints and bones of the lower limbs. Swimming is conducted in water, and a considerable portion of the obese person's weight is borne by the buoyancy of the water, which makes the lower limbs and waist feel much more relaxed, greatly reducing the risk of joint and bone injuries.

The resistance to human movement in water is 12 times greater than on land. You can definitely feel the strong resistance when moving your hands and feet in the water, so the muscles of the back, chest, abdomen, buttocks and legs can be well exercised during swimming. Swimming is also an intense sport, and the heat transfer rate of water is faster than that of air, which means that people lose heat in water very quickly, and a large amount of heat will be consumed during swimming. The excess fat on your body will also quietly "dissolve in the water".

In order to obtain good exercise results, it is necessary to plan the exercise: beginners can swim continuously for 3 minutes, then rest for 1-2 minutes, and then swim 2 more times, each time also for 3 minutes. If you can complete it without much effort, you can move on to the second stage: swim at a constant speed for 10 minutes without interruption, rest for 3 minutes in between, for a total of 3 sets. If you still feel relaxed, you can start swimming for 20 minutes each time... until you increase to 30 minutes each time. If you feel the intensity is increasing too quickly, proceed at a pace that you can tolerate. In addition, swimming consumes a lot of physical energy, so it is best to do it every other day to give the body time to recover.

When swimming, the human metabolism rate is very fast, and 1100 kilojoules of calories can be consumed in 30 minutes. Moreover, this metabolic rate can be maintained for a period of time after you leave the water, so swimming is an ideal way to lose weight. For thinner people, swimming can actually help them gain weight. This is because swimming can train the muscles, increasing the size and weight of the muscles. It can be said that swimming can make fat people thinner and thin people fatter, and can make everyone have smooth lines.

I believe that after reading the above content, everyone has a better understanding of which muscles can be exercised by swimming. I also hope that everyone can exercise appropriately by swimming in daily life. Especially those who are just starting to learn to swim should do a good warm-up preparation in the early stage of swimming to avoid unexpected situations during swimming. In addition, friends who are playing for the first time need to be accompanied by an experienced companion.
