Gripping When Exercising Makes Power Stronger
Gripping when exercising sometimes does annoy the person who is listening. But according to some researchers, it turns out to have health benefits, especially for those who are doing heavy repetition exercise.
Quoting Indiatimes on Friday (4/5/2018), the researchers stated that you are using more muscle fibers when doing the last repetition with a growl.
Research at Drexel University, Philadelphia, USA found that your grip strength will increase by as much as 25 percent when growling compared to regular breathing. This not only helps to focus power, but also improves stability.
Stability is the foundation for increasing strength and ability to push the body with heavier loads.
Another study published in PLOS ONE measured the amount of extra power an athlete produced while grunting.
The study revealed, a mixed martial athlete who kicks with a growl or grunt, has the power to kick at 9 percent stronger.
"The participants were able to generate much greater power when kicking with a growl than those who did not," the researchers said.
However, you do not need lebay to scream while exercising.
Simply press the tongue into the mouth of the bag and breathe deeply through the nose for exhale. This technique helps to activate the muscle fibers present in the body.
