From Your Health Journal…..”I said here many times, I love reading articles from The Examiner, and I encourage all my visitors to go to their site to see many quality health stories (link below), including the one ‘here’ in today’s reivew about how the efficiency, of eventually 200 popular muscle and cardio building exercises, will be measured, scored and reported for adults (but not kids). For children, it will take longer to develop how accurately exercise efficiency may be, since their bodies are still growing. Basically, this process will tell an adult an exercise plan that will help them get ‘the most for their buck’ when it comes to exercise. The energy tracing methods used by engineers to evaluate building plans, when applied instead to the human body, expose how riding a bicycle, while holding the same heart rate, for the same amount of time, as running, allows the adult’s core running muscles to exert up to 4-5 times more force than is possible to exert while running, with far less pain and skeletal damage. In other words, in the same amount of time, doing the same amount of cardio exercise, riding a bike will build far more core and leg running strength for the average adult, than running physically can. Although this is just one example of many, it can be beneficial to many individuals. For the above example, it may help an individual who is overweight, and may not be able to run/jog, but sitting on a bike will take off some pressure on the legs, allowing them to get some aerobic exercise. Please visit The Examiner web site to read the complete article to learn more about this finding.”
From the article…..
Today, December 30, 2012 the Engineers preparing next year’s Adult Exercise Efficiency Scoring Project, released a nine hundred word report covering how the efficiency, of eventually 200 popular muscle and cardio building exercises, will be measured, scored and reported for adults.
They also explained why they believe it could take years before learning how to accurately rate Exercise Efficiency, for the still growing bodies of children.
Here is today’s statement, exactly as provided to examiner.com:
The energy tracing methods used by engineers to evaluate building plans, when applied instead to the human body, expose how riding a bicycle, while holding the same heart rate, for the same amount of time, as running, allows the adult’s core running muscles to exert up to 4-5 times more force than is possible to exert while running, with far less pain and skeletal damage.
In other words, in the same amount of time, doing the same amount of cardio exercise, riding a bike will build far more core and leg running strength for the average adult, than running physically can.
The structural factor for noticing this huge increase in adult Exercise Efficiency, is that while sitting on the bike, the leg joints are not also hosting battles between falling body weight and External Motion Resistance (from gravity), simply because the bike supports their body weight instead of their leg joints.
By not allowing hundreds of g-force pounds to simultaneously smash leg joints the bike rider’s leg joints are free to fight immensely more running muscle exertion, they are not first deeply compressed by falling body weight.
This is one of countless examples that Exercise Efficiency not only exists exists, but that as far as for cardio exercise, the heart can work just as hard from either skeletal stress or muscles demanding more oxygen.
As far as adults go, using Skeletal Based cardio is inefficient as they don’t need to work anything harder than muscles, but all popular cardio exercises methods stress both joints and muscles.
The heart will pound from either joint or muscle stress.
For instance, if you have someone clamp your hands in iron claim, hard enough to cause enough deep skeletal stress, you can hold a targeted heart rate, which dose not make an iron clamp an efficient cardio exercise machine.
