Give me comparison in table that what happens when we are sitting in body vs when we are sleeping vs walking vs when we are running vs when we are cycling. in terms of blood flow, heart performance, liver, kidney, joins or anything else
Activity | Blood Flow (L/min) | Heart Rate (bpm) | Kidney Filtration Rate (mL/min) | Joint Impact | Liver Function |
Sitting | 0.5-1.0 | 60-70 | 800-1000 | Increased pressure on lower back and buttocks | Reduced |
Sleeping | 0.7-1.2 | 60-80 | 600-800 | Minimal | Improved |
Walking (3 mph) | 2.0-3.0 | 90-110 | 1000-1200 | Low impact | Improved |
Running (6 mph) | 4.0-6.0 | 120-170 | 1200-1500 | High impact on knees, ankles, hips | Highly improved |
Cycling (moderate) | 2.5-4.0 | 100-140 | 1100-1300 | Low impact (stress on knees if improper form) | Improved
|
Explanation:
- Blood Flow: Sitting restricts blood flow, especially to the legs. Walking increases blood flow, particularly in the legs. Running significantly increases blood flow throughout the body. Cycling increases blood flow, especially in the legs, but not quite as much as running.
- Heart Performance: Sitting leads to a slow heart rate. Walking increases heart rate moderately. Running pushes your heart rate to its highest level during these activities. Cycling increases heart rate moderately to highly, depending on intensity.
- Kidneys: Sitting can reduce kidney function due to decreased blood flow. Walking improves kidney function by increasing blood flow and waste removal. Running further improves kidney function. Cycling also improves kidney function, similar to walking.
- Joints: Sitting puts constant pressure on some joints, like the lower back. Walking is low impact on most joints. Running is high impact, putting stress on knees, ankles, and hips. Cycling is low impact on most joints, but improper form can stress the knees.
