Research has shown that training on cold days is more calorie consumption than warm days. But some exercise science experts have stated that it may not be an effective strategy for fat burning. The cold may cause a change in hormones that control appetite, and the amount of meals may increase later. There have been studies that show that those who have been jogging in the morning or walking in the snow on holidays may have consumed more calories than warm days. But it doesn't mean that training on a cold day is effective for fat burning. Dr. Alexander Koch, athletic scientist at Lenoir-Rine University, which delays fat oxidation and is less burning compared to warm days training. Dr. Insider told Insider that the cold could eat buried calories because it stimulates hormones that increase appetite. After all, as part of the fitness routine, you can enjoy running and sports in the cold, but winter workouts do not necessarily lead to fat burning and weight loss.
Exercise on cold days consumes a lot of calories, but fat is hard to burn
Exercise can increase calorie consumption on cold days.The reason is that the exercise itself requires power, but also needs energy to keep body temperature.One example is "trembling", which generates heat to generate heat when adapting to a cold environment.According to research on hiking people in Wyoming, Mr. Kenhua 15 to 23 degrees (minus 9).It turned out that those who did trekking in 4 degrees to minus 5 degrees) were 30 % more calories than those who exercised in the climate of 50 degrees (10 degrees Celsius). 。 But more calorie consumption may not last. If the exercise itself produces a lot of heat and is wearing clothes, there is no need to dare to warm up with "trembling". Consuming more energy in the cold can be sacrificed. Some researchers can reduce fat burning. According to a small study, a man who cycled in Mr. Kenhua 50 to 70 degrees (10 ° C.11 degrees) performed the same exercise at Hana-4 degrees (minus 20 degrees). It turned out that there was a lot of fat burning. "This is probably because the blood vessels caused to keep the heat from escaping the speed of exercising muscles to take in fatty acids," said Cock. In other words, blood vessels contract on cold days, that is, narrow, reducing the efficiency of carries fatty acids made by breaking down fat to muscles as energy.
