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?.
