Brisk walking or jogging, which one is the real "king of sports"?

Jogging was once regarded as the "king of sports" by the world, but in practice, people gradually realized some of the shortcomings of jogging, which are explained one by one below.

Disadvantages of jogging

Disadvantage 1/ Damage to the knee and ankle joints: When the foot lands during jogging, the weight of the body creates a large downward impact force, which can easily cause damage to the knee and ankle joints, especially for people who run on hard roads and those who are heavier.

Disadvantage 2/Poor blood circulation: When jogging, blood circulation in the lower limbs speeds up, but due to the influence of gravity, it is obviously much more difficult for blood to return to the heart than walking. Therefore, jogging is not as effective as walking in promoting blood circulation throughout the body.

Disadvantage 3/Higher chance of blood clot formation: The bumps during jogging may cause atherosclerotic plaques to break off, leading to embolism or embolus blocking the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, causing myocardial infarction or cerebral stroke.

Disadvantage 4/Speed ​​is difficult to control: The speed of jogging is difficult to control. Running too fast can easily cause fatigue, while running too slow will not produce good health effects. Running fast and slow at different times is not conducive to a stable heart rate. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the best health effects through jogging.

When walking, you don't have to worry about these problems of jogging. Therefore, many experts have declared that walking is the king of exercise. The World Health Organization has also clearly stated that walking is the best exercise.

【Characteristics of health walking】

Compared with all other walking exercises, brisk walking is more superior, mainly manifested in the following four characteristics.

Feature 1 / Suitable for almost everyone: Brisk walking is an aerobic endurance sport that can be sustained for a long time and does not cause any side effects to the body. It is suitable for almost everyone and does not require too high a venue environment.

Feature 2/Effectively stimulates human health factors: It is a moderate-intensity exercise and an efficient excavator of human health factors. It can activate various health factors in the human body to the maximum extent and give full play to their functions of disease prevention, treatment, health care.

Feature 3/Stable maintenance of the myocardium and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems: It is a stable, fixed, continuous and relatively gentle exercise that can stably maintain a high heart rate level for a long time. It can not only allow the human body to inhale as much oxygen as possible, but also effectively maintain and preserve the myocardium and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.

Feature 4/Effectively enhances blood circulation: It is one of the simplest exercises that can effectively enhance the blood circulation function of the whole body, greatly improve the body's ability to carry oxygen, and mobilize and exercise the muscles and bones of most limbs of the body.

The above characteristics are not fully possessed by other walking methods, nor by all other sports methods. These characteristics fully reveal the kingly style and domineering power of healthy walking. It is for this reason that the unique sport of walking can stand out among the hundreds of flowers in the sports garden and become the king of health-preserving sports.
