Why is cycling better for exercise than running?

2021-05-14 15:57:57

Cycling and running are both aerobic exercises that are good for good health and maintenance.

Calorie Burn


Whether cycling or running, the amount of calories burned depends on a number of factors, such as speed, terrain, weight, and one's metabolism....The heavier people burned more calories when they did both activities, and the lighter people did the opposite.


The table below shows the maximum number of calories a 70kg man burns while bicycling and running.Speed is measured in miles per hour (MPH) and kilometers per hour (km/h).

The chart below provides a measure of how many calories one hour of exercise burns at different weights.The units are pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg).


 

 

In addition, some people can ride longer distances when they cycle than when they run, which also affects how many calories they burn overall.If you want to find out how many calories your body weight burns during different activities, use a calorie-counting tool like the Web site at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York.


The muscles used by both:
Cycling uses all muscle groups, especially the leg muscles, including:
Quadriceps (rectus femoris, external femoris, internal femoris, and intervastus), and posterior leg muscles (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimememina)
Important muscles to use when running:
Quadriceps, glutes maximus (especially during sprints), hamstrings, plantar flexors

 

 

 

Both running and cycling are good for your heart. Regular cycling reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and helps: improve lung health, stimulate circulation, strengthen heart muscles, lower heart rate, and reduce fat in the blood.


A large study of 263,450 people found that cycling to work was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer and all-cause mortality.It also found that walking to work was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.Another study found that cycling was beneficial for recovery from stroke and heart rate after exercise.


Running can also help improve cardiovascular health, with a 2019 report finding that running can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and overall mortality.The study suggested that running at any intensity was better than running at all, and that running at a higher intensity did not have a significant effect on mortality.Running as little as 5 to 10 minutes per day at a pace less than 6mph (9.7km/h) reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality.


A 2018 study published in the journal Circulation looked at the impact of long-distance endurance running on heart health, suggesting that a full horse puts more stress on the heart than a half-horse or 10K running at shorter distances.A full horse distance is 26 miles, a half horse distance is 13 miles, and a 10K distance is 6.2 miles.However, more research is needed to investigate the effects of long-distance running on the heart.


Benefits for bones


Running is better for long-term bone health than cycling because it has a greater impact on your bones than cycling.
The study suggests that in the long run, high-impact activities need to inform the pancreas through bone tissue to help the metabolism meet the body's needs.Compared to running, cycling puts less pressure and impact on the joints.

Cycling is helpful in reducing arthritis, increasing lubrication, and reducing pain and stiffness problems.According to a 2011 report, cycling may be less beneficial for bone health than running or other weight-bearing exercises.

Another study suggested that cycling did not cause more damage to bone health than a sedentary lifestyle, although the researchers did not find the effect of the amount of cycling on bone health.
Riding long distances also may not help bone health because bones release calcium into the bloodstream, making them weaker.
Risk of injury-Knees are the most commonly injured part of running. Other common injuries caused by running include:
The foot-Leg (including thigh and Achilles tendon)pelvis
The back of the-Shin Splints (inflammation of the Shin)

You may have experienced pain on the inner side of your shin. You need rest, ice compress, and stretching to relieve the pain.According to experts, it takes two weeks for you to recover.One study compared runners and cyclists and found that after three days of intense training, the runners had more muscle injuries, soreness, and inflammation than the cyclists.
Here are some of the common injuries and aches and pains associated with cycling:

Knee pain,Have a headache,Neck pain,Back pain,Pain/paralysis in wrist or forelimb,Pain/numbness in genitals or straight,Paralysis or tingling in the foot.
If you have an injury, especially in the area described above, you may need to consult your doctor about whether it is safe for you to ride a bike.In addition, you may need to take other precautions when exercising.
Finally, both running and cycling are beneficial to the body. However, injuries are inevitable. Only by choosing appropriate exercise and amount of exercise for your physical condition can you achieve your goal more efficiently!
