Running and Jogging

Running is a form of exercise where your primary physical action is moving at a brisk rate of speed on foot. Its origins began when early humans did this as a form of hunting for long distances. It later was introduced as a sport in ancient sporting events and religious festivals.

How many calories burned jogging?

The number of calories burned jogging will depend on such variables as your body weight, your pace, your degree of fitness, the distant covered, and where you are jogging - flat ground or incline, rough ground or smooth ground.

However, cardio exercise when done correctly is excellent for burning calories. For information about how to do cardio exercise correctly, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

How many calories riding a bike versus jogging?

Burning calories is a lot more about how hard and how long, rather than about what you do.

If you get equally sweaty and winded, you'll burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of what you do.

Brad walks and jogs to school every day He averages 5 km hr walking and 9 km hr jogging The distance from home to school is 6 km and the total trip takes 1 hour How far does Brad walk?

Gee walks and jogs to college each day. He averages 5 km/h walking and 9 km/h jogging. The distance from home to college is 8 km and Gee makes the trip in 1 hour. He would have to walk for at least 5 km and jog for 3 km in order to reach the college in one hour.

What is jogging of an induction motor?

Jogging refers to momentary closing of a starter but not allowing it to latch in, as in normal start and continuous run operation. This usually done for positioning on equipment like conveyors or any operation where you want to be able to run a motor in short burst.

When was running discovered?

Originating in the United Kingdom in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis," with its roots going back to the ancient game of real tennis, tennis spread first throughout the English-speaking world, particularly among the upper classes.

Does jogging cause weight loss faster than jump roping?

Depends. It does indeed burn a bit more calories than jogging does, but it is then again much tougher in intensity. Both are great choices and there is no reason to actually go with another since the main point is that you are doing cardio. Also, if you are doing the exercise without actually correcting your diet, then it doesn't matter whether or not you cycle or jog - both don't affect weight loss, which means that diet plays an important role too and shouldn't be forgotten.

Why run anticlockwise?

Track Direction Most races (be it humans, machines or animals) on a circular or oval track run in a counterclockwise direction. The exceptions being the Australian version of NASCAR (AUSCAR) and some European horse tracks. The reason for the counter clockwise direction for some sport like NASCAR is fairly obvious. Since the driver is on the left side of the car (in this country at least) driving counterclockwise provides a lot of physical advantages: drivers are shielded from the wall on banked turns, they have better visibility on the left side of the car where most people pass and the position of the driver is conducive to the effect of centrifical force. Since the boys from down under have the steering wheel on the right side of the car it only makes sense that they would drive clockwise. Life, liberty and the pursuit of win, place and show In the case of American horse racing the reason has less to do with physics and much more to do with politics. In 1780, the first circular US race track was established by William Whitley near his home in Lincoln County, Kentucky. A staunch supporter of the Revolution, Whitley insisted that horses race counterclockwise, as opposed to clockwise as was the custom at the time in England. While some race tracks were slow to adapt (Belmont racetrack in NY actually ran clockwise until 1921), now all racetracks in the US follow Whitney�s patriotic tradition. God bless America and the Kentucky Derby! That explains NASCAR and horse racing, but what about all the other forms of racing: track and field, speed skating, cycling, roller derby, dog racing and Ancient Chariot racing. While there does not appear to be any logical reason for the counterclockwise rotation of these events, there is definitely not a lack of theories. Most however are a crock- Nature is Left-handed "We run counterclockwise because everything in nature tends towards counterclockwise motion" The list of natural phenominium that run counterclockwise is quite impressive. It includes: the molecule structure of amino acids, the shape of seashells, the rotational direction of all the planets (except Venus), and the orbital direction of the earth around the sun. The list of man made events is even more interesting. Carrousels, windmills (except in Ireland), revolving doors, cable operated airplanes, the usual direction in which people spin Hula Hoops, the running track in Central park, most washer and dryer, baseball runners and Elvis' hips all move counterclockwise. Pretty interesting stuff, but what does it all mean. Is counterclockwise motion the default direction for everything in the universe? No, not really. Number one, there are many things that move clockwise: phonographs, CDs, Monopoly board pieces, playing cards, the formation of sugar molecules, door knobs, pencil sharpeners, most can openers and Rick Martin�s hips. Number two, the directional spin of an object all depends upon your frame of reference. For example, the earth rotates clockwise if viewed from the south pole. Politics aside, your choice of the Northern or Southern hemisphere as your frame of reference is purely arbitrary. Therefore, in the illustrious words of Jessie Jackson, the question is moot. Finally, what in the world do amino acids and Elvis� hips have to do with the roller derby Track Direction Most races (be it humans, machines or animals) on a circular or oval track run in a counterclockwise direction.

How long do you run to burn 640 calories?

That depends on several factors, but if you mean through exercise, well...that depends on several factors :-D

Essentially, the higher your heart rate during physical activity, the more calories you will burn. For example, sprinting 400 yards will burn more calories than jogging 400 yards. So how long it takes to burn the 600 calories will depend on how hard you are able/willing to work.

At a continuous, moderate running pace - assuming fairly average physical dimensions of the person - buring 600 calories should take about an hour.

How often does the average person run per week?

Start with twice per week and work up to more if you want. Any amount will benefit, but going more than 5 days in between will make it seem like you are starting all over each time you run.

What is the average mph a human can run?

Since Usain Bolt became the 100m WR holder with a 9.69 (Beijing - 2008) and now (August 17, 2009 - Berlin) a 9.58, I don't know if this figure still stands but in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Donovan Bailey in a WR time of 9.84 secs, covered a 10m portion at 12.1 meters per second. That would translate to about 27 MPH or about 43 Km/h. Both he and Maurice Greene hit a 10m section of the 100m final of the 1997 World Championships at 11.91 m/s... Greene ran a 9.86 and Bailey ran a 9.91. That would mean both reached a speed of roughly 26.5 MPH. Considering that, even the reductions the WR has taken in the last 12 years, it would be okay to assume 27-28 MPH is the fastest speed ever attained by a person running.

Though Bob Hayes, in 1964, ran his leg of the 4x100m relay in 8.50 seconds.

During Usain Bolt's World record 100m sprint (9.58) at the 2009 Athletic Championships in Berlin, Usain covered Bolt reaches his top speed of 12.27 m/s or 27.45 miles per hour at the 65 meter mark.

For a biomechanical breakdown of Bolt's 9.58 WR, see the related link.

What type of bone injury is it called if you break your ankle when you hit a rock while you are jogging?

The bone injury or break is called a fracture. A fracture is a partial or complete break in a bone. Fractures in the ankle can range from the less serious avulsion injuries (small pieces of bone that have been pulled off) to severe shattering-type breaks of the tibia, fibula, or both.

What muscles does jogging on the spot work?

Jogging helps the whole body perform better. It makes your blood circulation around the body much more active, helps you lose weight which automatically makes your body perform better. It does of course help the muscles in your legs the best, since those are the most active muscles in jogging.

Can you lose weight jogging 30 minutes a day?

The answer is a yes and a no you should you should not run you should jog at least 3 to 4 days over 45 minutes...I was jogging everyday over an hour. I had to have surgery on one knee and now possibly on the other knee by next year...and I have a torn ligament on my left hind leg...and do not jog on pavement jog at a park where its like dirt covered with some small rocks... yes it is healthy for you. torn ligaments etc occur when there has been lack of stretching before and after jogging/running therefore tearing the muscles...

How old should a miniature Schnauzer be before I can start jogging with him?

Typically you should wait until your dog is 1 year old. If you run with a dog sooner than that you will risk affecting their muscle and bone growth. The repetitive nature of running can stunt their growing bodies. Always check with your doctor before running with your dog. Certain dogs are meant for distance running while other are better for short distances. In addition, if your dog has an under coat, running them in hot temperatures can be very unsafe for their health.
