Don t say there is no time to move! Research: If you don’t exercise for 2 weeks, your body will experience “this kind of change”

Don't say there is no time to move! Research shows that as long as you don’t exercise for 2 weeks, even people with good health will lose their original muscle strength.

Don't exercise for 2 weeks, losing 30% of muscle strength

, published in the Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, showed that if you don't do any exercise within 2 weeks, you will lose about 30% of your muscle strength, which will make people feel weak. If an elderly person who is originally active becomes habitual and sit still for a long time, he will lose about 25% of his muscle strength in two weeks.

Generally speaking, muscle mass usually decreases with age. Young men have about 2 pounds more muscle mass per leg than older people, but if they don’t exercise for two weeks, the average muscle mass will be reduced by 17 ounces; if they don’t move at the same time, older people will lose about 9 ounces of muscle. In addition, all men's health will become worse when their legs are not moving.

Never interruption of exercise

Men who participated in the study began to do pedal training after 2 weeks of no exercise. Although they were trained 3 to 4 times a week within 6 weeks to help their bodies recover, their muscle strength did not fully recover in a short period of time. Therefore, they should maintain their physical health and exercise should not be interrupted.
