但是,"酷跑"真的比慢跑或者长跑更适合健身吗？麦卡锡在采访中表示,时间会证明"酷跑"是一个更加全面的健身方式,理由是"酷跑"也锻炼了身体的上半部分."'酷跑'同时活动了你的大腿和肩膀",他说,之后又说他相信"酷跑"能够燃烧更多的卡路里.
Some fitness experts believe that McCarthy might just be onto something there. According to Kim Baylor, a certified personal trainer, "any exercise that involves full body motions leaves the chance to develop a lot of strength."
一些健身专家认为麦卡锡的做法有些道理.持有教练资格证的私教金姆·贝洛尔称,"任何囊括全身的运动都有可能消耗巨大的能量."
However, others think it's just a fad and might even be harmful if done incorrectly. "Physiologically, humans weren't built for quadruped mobility like apes," fitness coach Kevin Dean told Gothamist."Because we're bipedal/upright, our wrists have different structures than our ankles (whereas a quadruped animal would have four of roughly the same joint). Outside of learning something new, I can see broken noses, bad wrist/repetitive injuries, and shoulder problems (arising from crunning)."
"在生理方面,人类并没有获得像人猿那样四足移动的能力",健身教练凯文·迪恩告诉外媒Gothamist的记者."因为我们是直立行走,手腕的构造不同于脚踝（而四足动物在它们脚上有四个几乎一样的关节）.我看到有些人学习新方法时,鼻子受伤,手腕受伤,并且会反复弄伤自身,肩膀也会出现问题（"酷跑"导致了这些问题）."
McCarthy suggests wearing protective gloves to avoid damage to your hands while crunning, and taking things slow. "Do not outcrun yourself – it could be bad for your neck or back," he said. Or, you could just stick to traditional running.
麦卡锡建议在"酷跑"时戴好保护性手套以避免受伤,并且要放缓速度."不要过度追求'酷跑'——它可能会对你的脖子和背部造成伤害,"他说道.或者,你只要坚持传统的跑步方式就好了.
