You can face your body close to you
Did you know that smartphones have a built -in functions related to your physical condition?If your smartphone or app has its functions, why not use it for health promotion?
Have you ever measured your daily steps, stride, and walking speed?
It is said that human muscles will decline about 1 % a year after the age of 20 if they do not exercise.The easiest way to prevent muscle decline is walking.Walking not only reduces muscle loss, but also improves cardiopulmonary function and enhances immunity.The legs have big muscles in the body.By stretching the muscles of the legs, the surrounding blood vessels can also contract at the same time and improve the blood.As this muscle plays a pump, blood flow is improved and metabolic function is improved.This action can also reduce body fat and visceral fat by using sugar and fat in the blood as an energy source.
Therefore, a smartphone that is familiar is the easy way to understand your walking and physical condition.Depending on the built -in function and app, you can know your walking status, such as steps and walking speed.Let's check the record of walking in everyday life, such as commuting and shopping.Even at the same distance, the stride and walking speed also change depending on the physical condition and weather of the day.Some of the recorded data can be seen compared to the day, week, month, and year.
The walking speed represents the speed of walking in a flat place.It is related to the whole operation and physical ability.Even if there is no built -in function, you can calculate by calculation.Measure the time it took when you walked from the start line to the next line.The calculation method is "walking speed (m/min) = distance (m)/time (seconds) x 60".
Stride width is the distance from one foot to the next leg while walking.The guideline for the stride is "height (cm) x 0.45 "(cm).Being able to walk with a wide stride means that the hip joint, knee, and ankle joints move sufficiently, and the muscles that support it are solid, related to long -term behavior and movement.
The support time of both legs is the ratio of the time when both legs are on the ground while walking.If the numbers are low, it means that you often walk with one leg instead of both legs, indicating that the walking balance is good.In general walking, it is between 20 and 40 %.
