Running is a very common exercise, but different types of running have different effects. Some people like to run in place, and some people like to jog. So what is the difference between these two sports? Which one is more suitable for you to choose? Well, it actually varies from person to person, so we can first look at the difference between running in place and jogging, and then see which one is suitable for us.
1. Different meanings
Running in situ means running in a small space, any venue, on your own. Draw a circle around the station, and the person stands in the circle and runs as if standing still, kicking his legs up, so that the whole body is in a state similar to running.
Running mostly refers to outdoor running, and what you do is also a real running action, not just a running state like in situ.
2. Different sports venue requirements
The advantage of running in place is that it is simple and easy to do, and it is not limited to venues. You can exercise at any time even on rainy days.
Although outdoor running is better for fat loss, it is more free and changeable and is affected by the geographical environment. For example, it is easy to get injured on rugged terrain.
3. Different movement resistance
The biggest difference between outdoor running and in-situ running is wind resistance and friction. Overcoming resistance requires more power. If it is cross-country running, you also need to avoid obstacles and Lifting and lowering altitude requires more physical effort.
4. Exercise effects are different
Outdoor running can not only train the quadriceps muscles responsible for lifting the thighs, but also train the buttocks and hamstrings responsible for propelling the body forward. Side muscle group, trains a wide range of muscle groups, and has a good fat burning effect.
When running on the spot, the main action is to run upward against gravity, and there is no lateral displacement. Therefore, only the iliopsoas muscles and the quadriceps on the front of the thigh are trained, which cannot effectively train the buttocks. Compared with outdoor running, there are fewer muscle groups, and the fat-burning ability will naturally be greatly reduced.
