One question that arises here. What is the most effective exercise for dieting among Olympic sports? Lee Gil-sang, president of the 365mc Cheongju branch, looked into the exercise 'Best 5' which is effective for dieters among Paris Olympic events.
▶The strongest of swimming and systemic aerobic exercises
Swimming, which Kim Woo-min has given a valuable medal for the first time in 12 years, is a representative aerobic exercise that uses the whole body. It can burn 500 to 800 kcal per hour, which is high in calorie consumption. Freeform is advantageous for lower body muscle training, and breaststroke is effective in strengthening the inner adductor muscles of the thigh. Backstroke helps train core muscles, and butterfly helps train chest and shoulder muscles. CEO Lee explained, "'You can use water resistance to build muscle strength without strain on the joints, and use whole-body muscles to effectively reduce body fat and improve cardiopulmonary function.'
▶Fencing, the perfect balance of concentration and calorie burning
Fencing, which won two gold medals in this Olympics, is a sport that requires a lot of energy. It improves concentration and instantaneous judgment, and consumes 400 to 600 kcal per hour with fast movements. Fencing is excellent for body fat reduction by using the whole body muscles, and promotes weight loss by increasing the metabolic rate. "Fencing increases heart rate, burns a lot of calories, and is also effective in strengthening thighs, forearms, shoulders, and abdominal muscles," Lee said.
▶Badminton, a combination of agility and endurance improvement
Badminton, which draws attention due to Ahn Se-young's performance, improves agility and endurance at the same time and is also effective in dieting. It is a full-body aerobic exercise that can consume about 500 to 700 kcal per hour, which can strengthen whole-body muscles and reduce body fat through fast footwork and continuous racket swing. Lee said, `It is especially excellent for strengthening lower body strength and core muscle training.'
▶ Sports climbing, harmony of muscle strength and aerobic exercise
Sports climbing, which features the performance of MZ generation players such as Seo Chae-hyun, Shin Eun-chul and Lee Do-hyun, uses full-body muscles and strengthens upper and lower body muscles at the same time. It is a high-intensity exercise that requires concentration and quickness and consumes about 600 kcal per hour. CEO Lee explained that `Sports climbing is effective in reducing body fat by building muscle strength in the process of climbing walls and burning high calories in a short period of time.'
▶ Taekwondo, harmony between full-body exercise and self-defense
Taekwondo is a high-intensity exercise that uses the whole body, and repeatedly performs various kicking and hand techniques to strengthen whole body muscles and effectively burn body fat. It strengthens cardiopulmonary functions to increase basic metabolism and help lose weight. Representative Lee explained that `Twando can consume about 600 to 800 kcal per hour, and it is also good for increasing flexibility and strengthening muscle strength.'
If you are interested in exercise after the Paris Olympics, let's start exercising to take care of your diet and health at the same time. Chairman Lee advised, `When it is difficult to manage yourself, it is also a good way to visit obesity clinics and move toward the goal with experts.'
