Sports cannot be separated in an effort lose weight. The goal especially if not getting the ideal body weight. So where do you do more exercise, plank, or run? Among them, which one burns the most calories in the body? Here's the explanation.
How many calories are burned when running?
Based on calculations from the health site WebMD, You who weigh 60 kilograms (kg) can burn as much as 80 kcal when you run within 10 minutes. If you run within 30 minutes, you have managed to burn calories of 240 kcal.
According to Dr. Daniel V. Vigil, a Health Sciences Professor from David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, said that when you run 1.6 kilometers (km), the calories you succeed in burning are 100 calories. However, this depends on each person's weight.
According to the table arranged The American Council on Exercise, people who weigh around 60-63 kg can burn calories up to 13.2 kcal per minute when running. So when you run for ten minutes, you succeed in burning calories as much as 132 kcal. Within 30 minutes, the calories burned are 396 kcal.
Still according to Dr. Vigil inside Healthline, if you want to burn 400 kcal in one hour, you can run as far as 6.4 km. This is with a note that you can travel a distance of 1.6 km in 15 minutes.
If you want to burn 400 kcal in just 30 minutes, you need to run as far as 6.4 km in 7 minutes 30 seconds. So your running speed doesn't affect the calories you burn, even if you need more time.
Can Plank also burn calories as much as running?
As reported by Health, plank can burn your body's calories by 12 kcal per round. The round in question is when you do plank movement like standing with your feet hip-width apart, bow until your palms touch the floor. Without moving your legs, push your hands forward using the help of your abdominal muscles. Continue stretching your hands forward so that they stretch into a long plank position.
After that, drag your hands back (like putting your foot) towards your toes to return to their starting position, while keep abdominal muscles tight. If you can do it up to 10 times, that means you have burned 120 kcal.
Based on the calculation of a sports calculator from Myfitnesspal, You who have a weight of 60 kg can burn as many as 30 kcal when you do a plank hold.
So, which one is better?
Running does burn more calories than plank in the same duration of time. Sports that burn the most calories are more effective for those of you who want to lose weight. However, running or plank has advantages and disadvantages of each.
Basically run train heart and lung resistance in using oxygen. While plank is focused on exercising muscle strength. However, it is not impossible that both can train heart and lung fitness and muscle strength at the same time with the right combination of movements.
You also have to be consistent and exercise regularly if you want to lose weight fast. So, you can't choose the type of exercise based solely on how many calories you can burn. If you run, it burns more calories, but you don't have time to run outside the house and don't have it treadmill, it's better to just plank at home.
