Broad shoulders and steel abs: how sports affect the figure

Sharp changes in the figure are possible only with long and frequent loads, but otherwise any sports activities give only positive results.

In addition, training can affect changes in the body only during the period while you are growing and shaping, but not at the age of 30.

As much of the benefits that swimming brings to our body, it no longer gets it from any sport. Judge for yourself: wide arm and leg movements improve breathing and body stretching. Growth hormone increases from such a load. The growth occurs both due to the straightening of the spine and compressed tissues, and due to the lengthening of the bones. The breaststroke is recognized as the best swimming style for growth.

Of course, the shoulders and back muscles take on a significant part of the work, and therefore they are so embossed.

The triceps tighten during the strokes, the legs stretch, and the waist becomes thinner, as the oblique abdominal muscles are working all the time.

Experts say that as soon as the constant loads come to naught, the body of yesterday’s athlete is deflated.

Tennis is chosen by active and energetic people, those who cannot sit still, because such a workout cannot rest. But if you really give all your best, then the result will not be long in coming.

Tightened buttocks due to a springy step, pumped up muscles in the arms due to the weight of a racket of 320 g and a thin waist due to constant turns of the body – a portrait of every self-respecting tennis player.

Regardless of whether you play beach volleyball or in the gym, you are provided with slender, strong, contoured legs. Not all players are super tall, but this is a trend in this sport.

The athletes have strong arms and a large palm. They rarely stand out in volumes, since their figures are rather without bulges.

You’ve probably noticed that you rarely see tall athletes among gymnasts. The average height of Russian champions is 166 cm. Male athletes also sin with the same figures. There are several versions why the gymnasts are short. Some argue that the constant heavy loads on the skeleton, especially on the spine, are to blame. Others believe that it is all about nutrition, as athletes eat small portions with minimal calories. So, a weight of 52 kilograms with a height of 155 centimeters is considered obesity, when the norm is 36-45.

Also, experts say that the period of puberty in gymnasts ends at a much later age than in athletes from other sports, and it is this hormonal imbalance that is the cause of short stature.

One of the striking features of runners is low body weight with a fairly tall height, because it is easier to carry yourself this way, especially if you are running long distances.

Therefore, athletes eat low-calorie foods, but their energy costs, on the contrary, are very high.

So, marathon women suffer from amenorrhea, lack of menstruation for up to 6 months.
