Can girls lose weight by playing basketball?

Girls' physical fitness in all aspects is worse than boys, so some of the daily sports they do are much easier than boys. However, many girls want to lose weight by playing basketball. So can playing basketball help lose weight? First of all, we should clarify the problem in this regard, and then carry out actual exercise, otherwise it will be useless. Next, let us find out whether playing basketball can help lose weight? Knowing this, we can lose weight better.

The most common phenomenon is that many women do not have well-developed muscles all over their bodies, but rather have muscles concentrated in certain parts, the most prominent being the legs, which are very different from the upper body. This is definitely a difficult problem in the bodybuilding world. Not to mention losing muscle, even losing fat is a very difficult process and challenge for them. You know, not every girl who comes to the gym to lose weight regards fitness as a hobby. They have only one purpose, which is to lose weight.

There are several theories about losing muscle. One is the balance training method, which is currently more popular. It is to strengthen the upper body and coordinate the upper and lower bodies. I personally think that this method is feasible, but it may not work, because in fact most girls with well-developed leg muscles would rather maintain the status quo than make their upper body as strong as their lower body. To make up for one's weaknesses by leveraging one's strengths, it depends on the overall effect after making up for one's weaknesses.

The second is strength training, using intermittent circuit training method. Some girls worry that strength training will make their strong legs even stronger, because strength training is muscle training. If muscular legs undergo strength training, it may stimulate the muscles and make them more developed. Interval cycle training is to arrange some appropriate movements for the parts that need to be exercised, arrange these movements in a certain order, without grouping, and use cycle training. It can be divided into 1-3 or more cycles according to the situation. The rest time between each cycle is determined, generally 1-3 minutes.

Use light weight and multiple reps. The main purpose of this training is to reduce excess fat on the surface and in muscle fibers, thereby achieving the goal of reducing latitude.

The third type is aerobic training. It should be said that aerobic training is the most fundamental and main means of training, whether it is to lose fat or muscle. However, aerobic training for losing muscle and losing fat should be different. Generally, aerobic exercise for fat loss requires medium to low intensity and lasts for 30 to 60 minutes. What needs to be emphasized when doing aerobic exercises for muscle-reducing legs is that you should try not to do bouncing aerobic exercises, and the duration should be longer. The specific arrangements should be made according to personal circumstances and proceed step by step.

Although the answer to the question of whether playing basketball can help you lose weight is yes, but in daily life, if you really want to lose weight by playing basketball, it is best to practice until you are familiar with it before playing with others. Otherwise, it will bring unexpected consequences. There are many other ways to exercise to lose weight. For girls, it is also okay to choose some easier ways to lose weight. There is no need to harm your body in order to lose weight.
