What are the aerobic fitness equipment?
At present, the fitness equipment industry usually divides fitness equipment into two categories: aerobic fitness equipment and strength fitness equipment. You can also simply think that the aerobic equipment in the gym is for weight loss, and the strength equipment is for muscle training. In the next article, our Bofit fitness equipment manufacturer will introduce common strength equipment.
What are the aerobic fitness equipment?
Aerobic fitness equipment includes: treadmills, exercise bikes, spinning machines, steppers, elliptical machines, steppers, climbing machines, rowing machines, inverted machines, table tennis equipment, badminton equipment, skipping ropes and other equipment that assist aerobic exercise.
Common aerobic fitness equipment
Treadmill
Treadmills are the most common equipment used by novices in the gym. The treadmills in the gym are all professional commercial treadmills, which can run continuously for more than 10 hours, which is beyond the reach of home treadmills.
Advantages: Running is the most basic exercise for human beings. Exercise on a treadmill can make the body achieve a comprehensive training effect.
Limitations: Running puts a certain pressure on the joints, and people with knee and hip injuries or the elderly have a certain risk.
Spinning bike
Spinning can improve cardiopulmonary function, exercise lower limb muscle strength and enhance overall endurance, and improve the agility of the nervous system to prevent brain aging.
Advantages: The spinning bike adopts the method of artificial mechanics engineering, and the selection is suitable for the requirements of the human body, which can maximize the fitness effect.
Limitations: Practicing spinning exercise bikes have a lot of effort on the knee joints and waist, so if you have knee and lumbar pain, you cannot participate in this exercise.
Vertical exercise bike and horizontal (backrest) exercise bike
Exercise bikes are called “power bikes” in the field of exercise science. They are divided into two types: upright and back-to-back (also known as horizontal) exercise bikes. They can adjust the intensity (power) during exercise and have a fitness effect. So people Call it an exercise bike.
Advantages: Exercise bike is one of the best tools to overcome heart function problems. Cycling can use the movement of the legs to compress the blood flow and draw the blood from the end of the blood vessels back to the heart. In fact, it also strengthens the microvascular tissue at the same time, which is called “collateral circulation.” And this kind of stationary exercise bike can be used safely by the elderly and children.
Limitations: The training method is single, the upper limbs are not involved in any exercise during the exercise, and it is easy to feel boring.
Elliptical machine
Elliptical trainer In general fitness clubs, elliptical trainer is a very common cardiopulmonary fitness training tool, and it is also widely loved by users. It can be used safely by both young and old. It is not as violent as a spinning bike, nor as boring as an exercise bike. It feels like a space walk, so it is also called a space walker.
Advantages: The advantages of elliptical exercises are adjustable resistance, stretched body posture (except for the copycat version with seats), less possibility of sports injury, and low noise.
Limitations: The disadvantage is that the exercise function of muscle strength is relatively weak, and it is a pure body aerobic exercise equipment.
Stepper (stair machine)
The stair machine is a machine that can help enhance the function of the body’s organs, imitating the action of elevators and climbing stairs, mainly for the function of the heart and lungs.
Advantages: Climbing stairs can help enhance blood circulation, and play an important role in reducing resting heart rate and heart rate recovery rate. In addition, in the process of climbing stairs, it can also help increase oxygen carrying capacity, which is helpful for improving the body’s cardiovascular system, increasing vital capacity, and so on.
Limitations: Only the lower limbs can be exercised.
Climber
Climbing machine is a machine that imitates the function of climbing. It can give people a feeling of going up. At the same time, it produces elasticity when the footsteps fall, which makes the user have the illusion of being able to go up all the time.
Advantages: Exercise on a mountain climbing machine is several times larger than that on a treadmill. It has both functions of running and jumping, and it also has the effect of anti-earth magnetic force.
Limitations: Although the pressure on the knee meniscus is not as great as a treadmill, long-term use can still cause pressure on the knee. Only exercise the lower limbs.
Rowing machine
Also known as rowing machine, rowing machine, rowing machine, rowing machine, dynamometer, land rowing machine, indoor rowing machine. >
Advantages: The rowing machine has a good effect on muscle strengthening of the legs, waist, upper limbs, chest and back. With each stroke, the upper limbs, lower limbs, waist and abdomen, and back will complete a complete contraction and extension in the process, which can achieve the effect of aerobic exercise of the whole body muscles. Especially for people with a lot of fat on the waist, abdomen and upper arms, rowing machine exercises will bring you unexpected body sculpting effects.
Limitations: Skills are not easy to master, and irregular movements can easily strain the back.
