Moving your body gives you more than you think
Physical movement or physical activity
Refers to moving the body in any posture that causes energy use, whether it is daily activities such as doing housework, walking, or even playing music. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that having enough หากคุณสนใจเล่นพนันออนไลน์ที่ดีที่สุด สามารถสมัครสมาชิก UFABET ได้ที่นี่ พร้อมรับโปรโมชั่นพิเศษสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ physical activity in 1 week, which is moderate physical activity for more than 150 minutes, is very beneficial to the heart system, helps prevent chronic non-communicable diseases, and also has a positive effect on mental health and overall physical health.
Most advice would be to exercise more or increase your physical activity.
However, with our current lifestyles, research has shown that we all sit for an average of more than 7-8 hours a day. Dr. Marc Hamilton from the University of Houston ask the question, is there something that we can do easily and for a long time while we are sitting at work? If we can do it, using only small muscles that don’t make us tired and don’t use a lot of energy overall, will it have any effect on our overall metabolism? Or will it just make those muscles stronger?
The main interesting results of this study were the relationship between tiptoe sitting and carbohydrate and fat metabolism, measured by indirect calorimetry (VO2) and VCO2, and the relationship with the body’s glucose management system, measured by the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)*. Compared with sedentary sitting, tiptoe sitting significantly increased the rate at which carbohydrate and fat were burned. In addition, continuous activity improved the body’s blood sugar control by up to 50%. Until now, no drug has been able to increase and maintain metabolic rates as rapidly as this activity.
Interestingly, standing on tiptoes only uses the calf muscles.
Which account for less than 1 percent of the total body weight. It is a light physical activity, as confirmed by the measurement of metabolic equivalents (METS). Which are the numbers of times the energy expenditure in any activity is compare to sitting. For example, the METS value of normal walking is around 3, brisk walking is 4, and running is 6-8. (The WHO has defined moderate physical activity as having a higher METS value. This experiment found that the METs value of standing on tiptoes was only 1.5-2.5. Which shows that it is an activity that does not cause fatigue and can be done continuously.)
