Roller Skating is a Heart Healthy Activity!
|
"Roller skating is recognized and recommended by the
American Heart Association (AHA) as an aerobic fitness sport"
|
"Studies have shown that roller skating provides a complete aerobic workout and involves all of the body's muscles, especially the heart"
|
"Roller skating is equivalent to jogging in terms of health benefits-
caloric consumption, reduction of body fat and leg strength development"
|
"According to a study conducted at the University of Massachusetts, in-line skating causes less than 50 percent of the impact shock to joints compared to running"
|
"Just one hour of moderate roller skating burns 330 calories per hour for a 143 pound person. If that same person skates vigorously he or she will burn up to 590 calories in just an hour"
