Can running in place enhance resistance

Running in place can generally enhance resistance, but it requires a scientific combination of exercise intensity and duration. Regular low-intensity aerobic exercise can promote immune cell activity, while overtraining may temporarily suppress immune function.

Running in place as an indoor aerobic exercise indirectly strengthens the immune system by enhancing cardiovascular function. Accelerating blood circulation during exercise helps immune cells patrol the body more efficiently, while moderate exercise can reduce levels of chronic inflammation. It is recommended to run at a constant speed for 20-40 minutes 3-5 times a week, with a heart rate controlled within the range of 60% -70% of the maximum heart rate. This intensity can stimulate lymphocyte proliferation without causing immune burden. Supplementing with high-quality protein and vitamin C foods after exercise, such as eggs and kiwifruit, can further support immune repair.

High intensity intermittent stationary running or continuous exercise lasting more than 90 minutes in a single session may increase cortisol secretion in the short term, but instead reduce natural killer cell activity. People with weak immune system should stop exercising during a cold, and diabetes patients should be alert to blood sugar fluctuations after exercise. Maintain ventilation in the exercise environment, avoid exercising immediately on an empty stomach or after meals, and wear shock-absorbing sports shoes to reduce joint pressure. These details affect the immune regulation effect.

When incorporating stationary running into daily exercise, it is recommended to combine strength training with stretching exercises to form a combination plan. Monitor resting heart rate changes before and after exercise, and adjust intensity if it remains above normal levels. Maintain sufficient sleep and moderate water intake, and avoid opening windows for exercise when air pollution is severe. Middle aged and elderly people can adopt a segmented exercise mode, such as 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening, gradually establishing exercise tolerance. If there is persistent fatigue or repeated infection, seek medical attention promptly to investigate potential immune abnormalities.
