Does cycling do the same work as running?

Cycling is completely different from running.

Cycling is small and doesn't burn as many calories, but cycling doesn't hurt your joints.

Running, a lot of exercise, also consumes a lot of calories. So tired. But there is a point that can cause friction and bruising to the joints. (For example, the school's playground track is now paved with floor glue to absorb shocks and reduce joint damage).

In order to effectively exercise the muscles, your situation is that the body is adapted to the condition of the bicycle, and the body has a memory, once it is changed to running, it will involve different parts, so it still hurts for the same time, and there is no running on the bicycle.

Running is the mother of sports, and cycling also exercises cardiopulmonary fitness, but the effect is not as obvious as running.

From the simplest classical physical point of view, moving an object of the same mass (such as a body) from one place to another, if the trajectory is the same, the work done is obviously the same. But let's analyze it specifically (in terms of flat roads):

When riding a bicycle, you move not only your body, but also the mass of the bicycle, so you will do more work in this area;

Running, every time you take a step, in addition to moving forward to do work, but also to move the body upwards to do work, after falling, the potential energy generated by the work is not completely converted into kinetic energy, part of it is absorbed by your joint muscles into heat energy, part of it is consumed by the friction force in the opposite direction, and at the same time, the sole of the foot to overcome the friction force also has to do work.

The above is a flat road, if it involves going uphill and downhill, there is nothing to say, after the bicycle is boarded, it slides downhill naturally, and most of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (the car is not too broken), and running is not such a good thing.

Cycling is one of the most frequently mentioned items in cross-training. Why is it one of the best options? What are the benefits of cycling for runners?

1.Strengthens the gastrocnemius muscles.

When running, the calf muscles are under a lot of stress, especially when running with the middle of the foot on the ground, the soleus muscle inside the calf is most affected.

When riding a bicycle, the middle of the foot is placed in the middle of the pedal, and when you ride the bicycle forward, the pressure on the middle of the foot is the greatest. This is similar to running with the middle of the foot, especially when the hips are almost upright away from the saddle, the pressure on the middle of the foot is greater, and the training of the calf muscles is more effective.

2.Strengthens the tibialis anterior muscle.

When riding a bicycle in a seated position, the tibialis anterior muscles need to exert force to drive the pedals upward, especially when riding a bicycle uphill, the tibialis anterior muscles feel more pressure. By strengthening the tibialis anterior muscle, runners can prevent injuries such as inflammation of the tibial fibers.

3.Strengthens core muscles.

A strong core is important for runners to maintain proper running form while also reducing the risk of injury. Runners who want to strengthen their core by riding a bike can try climbing a hill with their hips not leaving the saddle. If you are not strong enough, you will tend to move your body from side to side when riding a bicycle uphill.

At this time, the runner needs to deliberately keep the body stable and maintain the correct posture by tightening the core muscles.

4.Enhances aerobic and anaerobic endurance.

Many runner injuries are overuse injuries, and the more time you run, the greater your risk of injury. Cycling can be a good exercise for runners' aerobic endurance and prevent premature fatigue of the body from deforming the running posture.

Interval training with a bicycle can have the effect of high-intensity interval training and improve the anaerobic endurance of runners. Although cycling has a very small impact on the body, it is very effective for cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal exercises, and it is very helpful for runners to improve their anaerobic endurance.

Man doesn't do work on the bike.

Because: in physics, we call the product of the force acting on the object and the distance that the object tells the car to pass in the direction of the force as the work done by this force on the hosiery object (i.e., w = fs).

The person does have a gravitational force on the bicycle, but he does not pass the distance in the direction of the force, so he does not do work.

It's not the same!

Running has a comprehensive effect on the human body, which can exercise the human heart, increase the maximum oxygen uptake of the body, and enhance the activity capacity of the human body. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, running can promote good blood circulation in the coronary arteries and ensure that there is enough blood supply to the heart, so as to prevent coronary heart disease.

Running can prevent intravenous thrombosis by accelerating blood circulation throughout the body, adjusting blood distribution throughout the body, and eliminating blood stasis.

Running can promote metabolism, control weight, cause a large amount of sugar in the body to break down, and reduce fat accumulation. This has a positive effect on the prevention of coronary heart disease, diabetes, organolithiasis and cholecystitis.

Proper running, especially jogging, can also increase appetite and increase weight in weak people with poor digestion and absorption and underweight.

Running improves lipid metabolism and prevents arteriosclerosis. At the same time, running can also exercise nerves, blood vessels, and prevent high blood pressure. For mental workers, running in the field can eliminate the fatigue of mental work and prevent neurasthenia and cardiovascular neurosis.

Cycling is an aerobic exercise, it can burn fat more effectively than strength training, help increase endurance and depict muscle lines, in order to better grow muscles, you need to do anaerobic exercise, in layman's terms - it is a common heavy weight (for itself) exercise, if you are riding a bicycle, fast riding is also anaerobic exercise.

In general, the two ways of exercise are good for the health of the body, and the focus is different!

Running is a bit more comprehensive than cycling, and the bike is a little heavier!

In fact, both machines are very effective for cardio, and I personally think it depends on the purpose of your fitness.

If you are focusing on fat loss at this stage, then the treadmill should play a greater role, because the impact on the body when people are running is all-round, from the lower limbs to the torso to the upper limbs, and the calories consumed are naturally more. Even if you do general fitness in the future, you can achieve different results by controlling the time and speed.

Cycling is more interesting than the treadmill, but the exercise effect depends on how much you master the exercise skills and methods, different riding positions consume different calories, but no matter which posture, as long as you stick to it for a long time, you will have a healthy body.

The above is just my personal analysis for your reference.

Supplement: If you don't need to do regular fat loss exercises, then cycling can completely achieve fitness results.

In fact, the treadmill workout effect is a little better. Treadmills can exercise various parts of our body, including our heart function and lung capacity.

Cycling and running are two different types of sports, and the exercise consumption of both is different. Running 1,000 meters is equivalent to 2,500 meters of cycling, which is a kilometer. Below are the costs of the two sports:

Slow walking (4 km per hour).

Consumes 255 calories for brisk walking (8 km per hour).

Consumes 555 calories for jogging.

9 km per hour).

Consume 655 calories to run.

12 km per hour).

Consumes 700 calorie bikes.

9 km per hour).

Consumes 245 calorie bikes.

16 km per hour).

Consumes 415 calories of bicycles.

21 km in one hour).

Consumes 655 calories.

Running is also a great aerobic exercise, especially jogging, but jogging is also time-sensitive, and it takes a long time to get results. Preferably a few years. Cycling is also a good aerobic exercise, not only to exercise, but also to enjoy the beautiful scenery, there is a saying, driving too fast, walking too slow, only cycling can enjoy the beautiful scenery.

However, you have too little time to ride a bicycle to achieve the desired effect, and it is still good to ride more than 10km a day. It is advisable to ride more hills, which will help with exercise. I am a cycling enthusiast, and we all have to conquer the mountains and rivers in Chongqing.

For example, the 300 ladders of Geyue Mountain, Naxigou to Nanshan, are the most powerful slopes in Chongqing, and after conquering these 2 slopes, basically the mountains and rivers of Chongqing are already under your feet.

Answering 30 kilometers of bicycle is equivalent to jogging 70 kilometers. Cycling 30 kilometers is considered a moderate cycling speed, and cycling 30 kilometers is equivalent to running 10 kilometers, which probably consumes more than 1,000 calories. 20 kilometers is equivalent to 10 kilometers or 9 kilometers of running!

Cycling 20 kilometers equals running about 9 kilometers.

A 100km ride burns about 4,500 calories, while a half-marathon is about 1,500.

I wish you good health and all the best.

Cycling is less strenuous than running.

People generally have the experience that riding a bicycle will be less strenuous than running to cover the same distance on flat land in the same amount of time. This is due to the fact that cycling will consume much less energy than running.

When walking on a bicycle, you have to overcome the friction between the axles, the friction between the wheels and the ground, and the resistance of running against the wind. In this way, to complete a 1-kilometer journey, a person must consume 120,000 joules of energy. To complete the running action when running, the energy consumed is generally 8 times that of cycling.

In addition, a person is like a machine, and each part of the body moves relative to each other like a bicycle wheel and axle when running. For example, muscle elongation and shortening, increased heart beat, increased lung ventilation, etc., can all exacerbate internal energy expenditure. In addition, sweating on the surface of the body also consumes energy.

In this way, a person can use about 350,000 joules to run 1 kilometer, which is almost 20 times the energy consumed by cycling. The energy consumed by running is much greater than the friction consumption inside the bicycle, which is an important reason why running is more laborious than cycling.

You should believe that riding a bicycle is fast, because from the point of view of torque, for example, if you want to move a heavy rock, and now you have to carry it by hand, but you fail, if you are given a stick, you can move it with prying, maybe because you use more force with the stick, but the entry of external objects can make you do more with less.

1.Bike fast!

2.When running, a large part of the energy is used to do up and down exercises! The weight of your body ......I don't need to say it!

In contrast, the center of gravity changes very little when riding a bike (even less on flat ground), so it consumes a lot less energy. The higher the efficiency, the same energy input will get more speed, which answers the first question!!
