Running the same exercise on treadmill and running on land, what are the differences? Running the inherent advantages of having a better response to poor natural environment on a treadmill, but also easier to monitor the implementation of training. Running on the land has a support surface is safer, better air quantity and better running performance and other advantages.
When it is raining and hot weather outside, many runners are unable to continue running exercise outdoors, which really gave them a depressed mood, but also to promote some of whom fought to continue on the indoor treadmill
sweat ran. However, treadmill running with running on land, is it really the same? Which way in the end more
scientific.
A relative motion comparative
When running in a treadmill, running with a constant speed scrolling runner with respect to the treadmill, in the
longitudinal direction, the lateral direction is relatively static, while in the vertical direction of the center
of gravity of the body have a certain trajectory.
1. When running on the land, ground in a relatively static state (here temporarily ignore the Earth’s rotation and
revolution). Runners relative to the ground in the longitudinal direction, the lateral direction and the vertical
direction, the body weight were significant trajectory.
2. The support surface safety between
The size and stability of the support surface, to a large extent determines the motion of stability and security.
Supporting surface of the treadmill is significantly less than on land, and the rolling running belt brings
unstable support surface. There are some people on the treadmill running fall and damage occurred.
In contrast to the support surface safety, land treadmill running better than the treadmill.
3. The comparison of air quality
Treadmill indoors, indoor air which has a higher liquidity requirements. There are a lot of ventilation gym really
worrying (think there are a lot of gym built underground). When outdoor air quality reaches a certain index,
outdoor jogging land undoubtedly better breath of fresh air.
In contrast to air quality, land treadmill running better than the treadmill.
4. The degree of muscle activation of the central nervous compare due to running on a treadmill in an unstable
support surface, which requires activation of the central nervous system more, to regulate every step security
falls treadmill running, thus increasing the degree of muscle activation of the central nervous system. This
increase neuromuscular regulation mechanisms, bringing the body more energy consumption. In addition, many people
first time in the treadmill jogging, need some time to adapt; and in treadmill running after a certain time,
return to walking on land (when get down from the treadmill feel like floating), also need some time to adapt
it. The degree of muscle activation in the central nervous system, the land is greater than the treadmill
running on a treadmill.
5. Running oxygen consumption comparison
In 1996, Jones and Doust study found that low-speed running, the oxygen consumption treadmill running on land,
and in the high-speed running, the treadmill oxygen consumption is lower than on land running. And after
treadmill 1% slope compensation, treadmill oxygen consumption and land running at the same speed shown no
difference.
7. Motor function test comparison
In this particular it needs to be emphasized that the test on the treadmill index and index land will be used
for training monitoring. Because the treadmill velocity can be set at a fixed value, and therefore more
conducive to control the movement and strength exercise.
However, since the treadmill running and land require different neuromuscular control, as well as different energy
consumption. Thus, both indicators of the test environment can not be obtained by direct conversion of simple
machines.
Conclusion, the same is running exercise, running on a treadmill, there are many differences on running with the land. Running the inherent advantages of having a better response to poor natural environment on a treadmill, but also easier to monitor the implementation of training.
Running on the land has a support surface, better air quality and better running performance and other advantages.
Thus, in the case of the natural environment suitable for sports, we recommend training by jogging outdoor on land.
And in the natural environment unfavorable conditions, it is recommended to better air circulation, jogging treadmill
under a more liberal environment, and be sure to first few minutes of jogging on a treadmill, so that the muscles of
the central nervous system to produce a reasonable regulation, and then he began running training intensity.
