Can jogging build muscle?

Jogging brings me many benefits. On the one hand, jogging can effectively help us consume calories in the body and help our female friends lose weight and get a slim figure. At the same time, jogging can effectively improve our own immunity and resistance. More importantly, jogging can effectively strengthen our own muscles and make us look particularly powerful. Let's briefly talk about the question of whether jogging can exercise muscles.

1. Yes. However, you need to know first that the most basic structure of muscles is that they are made up of red muscle fibers and white muscle fibers. Red muscle fibers are mainly powered by aerobic energy and are also called thin filaments. If these muscle fibers are well developed, endurance in long-distance running and other activities will be very good, but the body will appear thinner. White muscle fibers are also called thick filaments. They mainly rely on anaerobic energy supply. If the thick filaments are well-developed, the explosive power will be great, like in the 100-meter shot put, and the body will appear stronger.

Moreover, it is generally necessary to run before strength training. If you don’t run, you can use skipping rope instead. It is best to run after 8 o'clock in the morning, which can exercise the energy supply of the heart and lungs, thicken the myocardium, and provide sufficient energy for the body.

2. All exercise can promote muscle growth, but running does not promote the growth of leg muscles very much. Fast running helps muscle explosiveness, and long-distance running helps muscle endurance. It also has effects on other muscles, but to a lesser extent.

I believe the above answers can help us all solve the question of whether jogging can train muscles. Jogging can achieve a good effect of training muscles. Many gymnasts use jogging to build a lot of chest and abdominal muscles, so as to improve our own strength.
