Summer is
closer and for some people that is a strong reason to sign up in a gym, or
simply to put into diet and to do some exercises by their own.
Some
scientists at the University of Glasgow have been tried to figured out if there
is a difference when you work out before breakfast or after of it.
When I read
this article, I remember a discussion with my brother about this topic, and I
told him: “I consider that eating first and then working out; it will mean that
you will burn some calories that you just have ingested”. Now, after reading
the article, there’s a chance that I was wrong.
According
to the scientific article, the study was conducted in ten overweight-not
regular exerciser men. Each man was under three trials for 1-2 weeks: no
exercise then eating breakfast; walking briskly for an hour before eating
breakfast; and doing the walk after eating breakfast.
The results
were: 49kcal unburnt fat without exercise; 216kcal when they exercise after
breakfast; and 298kcal when the group exercises before breakfast.
As you can see, both trial including exercises
were fat burning, but before the breakfast was greater. Even though, the
premise is to work out, no matter if you do it before your first meal of the
day, or after. Doctors and the scientific community encourage people to exercise
due to the high level of obesity around the world.
It’s
important to mention that to have a good diet and a routine to working out is
not related just to aesthetic parameters, but to health. We as future teachers need to be aware of it, for instance, as teachers
we will spend most of the time stand up, and that will affect our legs –especially
the circulatory system. No matter what kind of routine you decide to follow, as
long as you keep working out!
Do you
think this investigation is transcendental? (consider the number of
participants on it).
If you have
been under diet and working out plan, have you noticed a difference if you
exercise before a meal or after of it?.

ReplyDeleteActually, I always wondered about it and now I have my answer. Last year I joined a gym very good, but very expensive. However, I wanted to look good when the summer arrived.
ReplyDeleteIn my case, I really noticed the difference when I exercise before a meal or after of it. I could never do well in the gym when I had to exercise before I eat. My body felt tired and at some point I felt that I would faint.That is why I always went in the morning after having breakfast.
Now that I read this, my opinion could change, but not. I think it is better to eat first before going to the gym otherwise, it could be very dangerous. I prefer that, before risking my health.
i agree with Catalina, it's true that you burn more calories from fat when you exercise before eating, but it is also very exhausting and you are more prone to feel sick and finally you will give up of exercising at all; At the end, what matters is to do some kind of activity. I think that this investigation is trascendental, specially when obesity is a worlwide problem.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I was pointing out the number of people involved in the experiment (just 10!), and we all know that every person is different. I remember when I was a kid and I jogged before breakfast, then I just fainted.
ReplyDeleteAs Catalina Fernandez said, what matters is to do some kinf of activity. I think that this investigation was orientated to those who want to burn more calories from fat right away.
Inmediately, I made a pause in reading this entry to take a look at the article you provide here. I realized the web page was the same as the one with my classmate Catalina Leiva investigated for our “OP”. Of course I thought : “ I cannot trust this information , the people who created it might have changed some important aspects of the real study in this context”. So, I looked up for another study and it said something pretty similar, “http://www.mensfitness.com/nutrition/what-to-eat/breakfast-before-or-after-a-workout” said you actually burn more calories before breakfast instead of eating first and then running or walking briskly. Unfortunately, they just explained the amount of people involved, (twenty-eight) and the results they got doing this.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think it depends on the metabolism each person has, involving also how much a person weights and the intensity of the exercise made in a determined period of time. For example, I think I would not get as exhausted - after running an hour without eating my first meal- as my sister would feel; the reason is very simple: she is extremely thin and it would be easy for her to faint, not as it would happen to me, because I have run and I have got very tired but I think my weight as being “normal” for me, does not let me get deadbeat. We are in very different conditions, therefore the reactions will be completely different too.
Exactly, as I said before: every person is different; in terms of metabolism, genetic and some other factors that I don't know (because I'm not an expert), but still we can't tell that this "experiment" has something weird. It catches our attention, so accomplishes its purpose: now, we remember how important is to have an exercise routine, and especially, we as future teachers.
