Importance of multiarticular exercises
Did you know that in addition to multiarticular exercises strengthening the body in general, helps with weight loss?
Have you heard of multiarticular exercises? If you do physical activity regularly and have the help of a professional, chances are you already do it.
It is not difficult to assume that multiarticular exercise is one that involves more than one joint and muscle group. And this is precisely where their importance lives: “They are more complete”, “This type of stimulus should form the basis of a training program because it allows for an increase in the load, improving strength and gaining muscle mass”.
To exemplify, imagine a squat: the feet are parallel, at the distance of the hips. You flex your knees, throwing your butt back, as if sitting in a chair, and return to the starting position. Well, in this apparently simple exercise, the hip and knee joints are activated to make the extension and flexion movement, respectively. Squatting gives you more balance when your body is in motion - quite a benefit for you to live better.
Multiarticular exercises and weight loss;
Multiarticular exercises also help with weight loss because they activate metabolism for longer. “When we work different muscles at once, we increase the caloric expenditure, facilitating the loss of fat during the activity”, after the workout, your body continues to work and burn calories. "These exercises activate the metabolism for a longer time."
Multiarticular exercises: flexibility and aerobic capacity;
A bodybuilding workout, in essence, seeks to develop strength and endurance. However, flexibility and aerobic capacity are also included in this list. Multiarticular exercises are essential to distribute intense muscular work in more than one joint, since they require dynamic patterns that require transfer of forces.
Multiarticular exercises strengthen the core;
Higher loads in multiarticular exercises require stabilization. At that time, it is necessary to activate the core: “Keeping the abdomen contracted during the execution, we protect the spine and joints. This goes for training and also for day-to-day multiarticular movements ”
Using the previous example, when you do squats, you keep your spine in a neutral position, contracting your muscles and strengthening your core region. The same goes for paddling or deadlifting, two other examples of multi-joint exercises.
