bare-body muscle exercises such as squats and planks burn more fat.

Studies have shown that bare-body muscle exercises such as squats and planks are more effective in burning fat after exercise than aerobic exercises such as running.

Our bodies consume energy even after exercise, which means that bare-body exercise consumes more energy and burns more fat, making it more effective for weight loss.

Reporter Lee Sung-kyu covered it.

Recently, bare-body strength training that can be easily accessed through YouTube or mobile apps
It is popular because you can exercise at home without any equipment
.

Then, how much is the exercise effect of bare-body strength training?

We compared energy consumption during exercise and 60 minutes after exercise of running, a representative aerobic exercise with bare-body strength exercise.

As a result, energy consumption during exercise was higher than running bare-body muscle exercise.

While 85% of energy consumption occurred in carbohydrates, running was relatively small at 73%.

In the process of recovery after exercise, fat combustion also had a lot of bare-body muscle exercise.

Bare-bodied strength exercises resulted from fat burning, with 71% of total energy consumption, but running was only 50%.

In addition, even after exercise, the excess oxygen consumption, which means that our body uses energy, continued to be higher in bare-body strength training than running.

This means that bare-body strength training is effective for weight loss by consuming more energy and burning more fat after exercise.

[YONSEI / Professor of Sports Application Industry at Yonsei University: When you do the same amount of exercise, bare-body muscle exercises are as effective as treadmill running and aerobic exercises. Even burning fat means burning fat is more likely to help you burn fat as you recover]

A bare-body muscle workout that anyone can easily do at home.

It is difficult to continue for a long time, but it is expected to help lose weight if you exercise repeatedly for a short period of time.
