Should I walk or swim when my blood pressure is high? 6 exercises to suit my body type.

Exercise can be broadly divided into aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Each type of exercise has its own pros and cons for physical health, and no single type of exercise can address all health concerns.

 

The benefits of exercise are diverse, and in addition to physical health (increased muscle strength, endurance, flexibility, weight control, cardiovascular health, cancer, osteoporosis, and diabetes prevention), it also has a positive effect on psychological health (reducing depression, anxiety, and stress, and improving self-esteem).

 

Exercise also varies depending on your physical condition and medical condition. For example, if you have high blood pressure, walking is better than swimming, and if you have osteoarthritis, swimming is a good option. Based on data from WebMD, a US health and medical media outlet, we've compiled a list of exercises best suited to your physical condition.


walking

 

Walking is a good exercise for the elderly, those with osteoporosis, those who are obese, and beginners. It's also a good choice for those with poor circulation who often experience numbness in their hands and feet. Lower body obesity can be difficult to lose through walking, but upper body obesity can be effectively reduced through walking or running.

 

wheeling

 

It's good for people with weak physical strength or joint problems. If you have lower back pain, riding an indoor bike is a good option. Because it burns fewer calories, it's less effective at losing weight than walking or running.

 

running

 

It's good for young people, but if you're overweight, it can put a strain on your ankles. It's good for preventing osteoporosis, but it can be dangerous for those who already have the disease. A moderate pace is one where you can still have a conversation with someone nearby and are slightly out of breath.

 

mountain climbing

 

If you have weak joints or lack stamina and muscle strength, you may experience pain or even injury. Inclines exceeding 30% can strain your knees and joints, so it's best to start on a gentle slope.

 

swimming

 

It's good for people with poor cardiopulmonary function or degenerative arthritis. Freestyle, backstroke, and splashing are particularly beneficial, but butterfly and balance strokes should be avoided. Those with frozen shoulder benefit from arm exercises in warm water. Those with high blood pressure are better off walking than swimming.

 

strength training

 

If you have limited muscle mass or your left and right sides aren't symmetrical, you should focus on strength training. Having different muscle mass on both sides increases your risk of injury.

 

=========================

 

If you have high blood pressure, walking is better than swimming.

Swimming is a good option if you have osteoarthritis.

    혈압이 높다면 수영보다 걷기가 좋고, 
    퇴행성관절염이나 있다면 수영이 적합하군요
    나이든사람은 걷기 수영 근력 자전거티기등이 적합하겠군요.
    혈액 순환이 잘 안 돼 손발이 자주 저린 사람에게 걷기가 좋디는데 전 왜 걷기를 매일 만보를해도 저린지...
    정보 감사합니다
