Supports metabolism, reduces visceral fat
Many studies show that low-intensity aerobic exercises are effective in reducing visceral fat. This is a type of fat located deep in the abdominal cavity and is related to many metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
Super slow jogging helps the body mobilize fatty acids to create energy, thereby directly affecting visceral fat. As a result, this method is considered beneficial for improving metabolic health.
Reduce pressure on joints, protect the motor system
When the runner increases the steps (about over 170 steps/minute) and shortens the stride, the force on the knee and hip joints will be significantly reduced.
Super slow running applies this principle: fast pace but short strides, helping to distribute force to muscle groups in the legs. Thanks to that, pressure on joint cartilage and ligaments is reduced, limiting the risk of injury.
Easy to maintain exercise habits
Epidemiological studies show that all levels of exercise are better than sedentary lifestyles, and increasing daily light physical activity can help reduce the risk of death.
With its gentle and less tiring characteristics, slow running helps many people start exercising more easily. This contributes to forming a habit of exercising regularly, thereby improving long-term health.
Good for cardiovascular health
Maintaining low to moderate physical activity can improve health status and treatment outcomes.
Super slow jogging is considered a safe form of exercise in the rehabilitation phase, helping to lower blood pressure, stabilize heart rate and improve blood vessel function, thereby reducing the risk of disease recurrence.
Improvement of spirit and memory
Low to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can reduce anxiety, improve mood and support the activities of brain areas related to learning and memory.
When running super slow, the body is in a relaxed state similar to meditation, helping to relieve stress, soothe the mind and bring balance between physical and mental.
