Regressive running can burn calories and strengthen muscles more than normal running? A famous doctor s experience tells you the truth

Running is one of the most recognized good exercises for nurturing and fitness. In recent years, many people have discussed that "regressive running" may achieve better effects of burning calories and strengthening muscles than ordinary running. Is this really the case?

What are the benefits of backward running?

Running can cause combust calories, regulating the heart, strengthening the back and core strength. However, in recent years, some professional runners have promoted the benefits of "reverse running". On "TikTok", many people have uploaded backward running videos, which have accumulated interesting points. They pointed out that the benefits of backward running are 2 to 3 times that of traditional forward running and can improve breathing efficiency. Some movements also use this method as hot and agile practice, such as the punching hand has been a backward runner for a long time because it is both an excellent cardiovascular exercise and can promote balance.

Is it really such a disaster to go backward? According to the interview expert of "EVERYDAY HEALTH", Frankie Ruiz, a long-term cross-country running instructor and runner, the founder of the Miami Marathon finals, pointed out that normal running usually uses the front muscles of the leg (such as the quadrilateral and the anterior bone muscles of the love bone), and reverse running mainly uses the back calf muscles and gluteal muscles. The calf muscles bear most of the absorption work, thus reducing the pressure on the knee. Reducing knee pressure is the same as studies published in the past, and it can also enhance balance and posture.

There are different opinions on whether the backward running will burn more calories. Some experts believe that running backwards is more likely to cause muscle activity. But some experts believe that using muscles in different parts may not necessarily burn more calories, and the focus is on "strength".

The famous doctor Li Yuande has been backwards for a long time, and his balance has improved and he is not easy to fall.

Li Yuande, a former president of National Taiwan University Hospital and a world-renowned professional at the heart of the world, revealed many years ago that others are moving forward and forward, but he is moving backward and backward. He analyzed that the regression run is in line with the principle of "using the way to retreat". The links, tendons, and muscles that are not used can be adjusted appropriately, and can train neurosensitivity, and the reaction to the surrounding area has become particularly sensitive. Over the long run, he found that his sense of balance is better than others, and his thigh muscle strength is not as good as that of young people. People who are older are prone to fall, but they hardly fall.

However, regardless of whether it is really a greater benefit to go backwards, the more important premise is to ensure safety, especially for longevity, it is best to do it in a space and with someone to accompany you to avoid accidents.
