Function of fitness equipment
Enhance muscle strength: Fitness equipment is usually designed for specific muscle groups, which can increase muscle strength and endurance. Weightlifting equipment, strength training machines and dumbbells can help strengthen muscle groups by providing resistance.
Improve cardiopulmonary function: Aerobic fitness equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines and bicycles can effectively improve cardiopulmonary function and enhance cardiopulmonary endurance. These instruments promote blood circulation and oxygen delivery in the heart and lung system through aerobic exercise.
Shape body lines: Many fitness equipment focus on shaping body lines and increasing muscle clarity. For example, chest pushers, tensioners, abdominal muscles and other devices can exercise muscles in different parts in a targeted manner, making the body lines more compact and fit.
