What muscles does running build?

Running is a national fitness exercise. It can not only help you lose weight, but also promote muscle development. Especially for male friends, if you exercise for half an hour every day, you can exercise your calf muscles and thigh muscles, so everyone should insist on exercising. Running is a whole-body exercise. It can exercise the thigh muscles, including the vastus medius and vastus medialis, and it also has a certain training effect on the abdominal muscles.

The thigh muscles are divided into the anterior lateral group, the posterior group, and the medial group. The quadriceps femoris is one of the anterolateral muscles, which includes the rectus, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus medialis. The anterolateral group also includes the sartorius muscle and the tensor fasciae latae, which are two of the longest muscles in the human body; the posterior group includes the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus; the medial group includes the adductor magnus, pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, and gracilis.

Regularly arranging a series of simple upper body strength exercises will effectively improve the trainee's running ability.

Unfortunately for the average runner who knows how to use his arms, the longer the distance he runs, the more fatigued his arms become. The arms are effective in maintaining stride because.

Another important muscle to work when running is the abdominal muscles. A weak and flabby abdomen is a result of your stride length decreasing and your chest cavity shrinking during long-distance training or the final stages of a race, which reduces the amount of air delivered to your abdomen. In addition, due to the weak strength of the abdominal muscles, it may cause trouble to the waist muscles opposite to the abdomen.
