Burn more calories on skates

Who was going to tell John Joseph Merlin, born in September 1735, that his invention would revolutionize the world of aerobic exercise ?

Merlin built a couple of roller skates made with small wheels and a wooden sole and premiered at a fair wearing them while playing the violin.

Over the years it has done nothing more than perfect these devices. Today, we know them as rollers or roller skates "online" due to the design of Scott Olson, a famous ice hockey player of the 70s.

Thanks to them, it is possible to burn in half an hour up to 450 calories and strengthen at the same time muscles and the heart .

As exercise to be fit and have fun, the skating is as beneficial to health as running or riding bike .

This has been shown by several studies in which the three sports have been compared in terms of the amount of calories burned and its benefits aerobics Y anaerobic (strengthening of muscles Y bones ).

When running or cycling for a period of thirty minutes, 350 and 360 are burned calories respectively, producing in the heart an average of 148 beats per minute.

In 1 hour it burns up to 900 calories

Rollerblading during the same time and at a stable and moderate speed, allows the body to burn an average of 380 calories and produces the same number of beats; At higher speed or intensity, the greater the amount of calories burned .

Hence rollerblading , alternating intervals of one minute at a higher speed and one minute at a moderate speed, allows the body to burn in only 30 minutes 450 calories .

Other research has shown that women who follow diets to lose weight can lose up to 40% of their weight in muscle tissue , but not in grease .

In these cases, the skating can be an alternative to compensate the effects caused by certain regimes, especially because the skating develops the hip muscles , thighs and legs more easily, as well as those of arms and shoulders, since these are usually moved when patina at a higher speed.
