and now for the next one...would you resting HR drop if you drop 10 kg

[RoboLuke]

BUT AT THE SAME FITNESS...

[Bike Mob]

I believe it would...

[RockCoach]

I dunno.

 

Same fitness means the heart and lungs are the same size as before, pumping the same amount of blood and processing oxygen at the same efficiency - to a body that should still be roughly the same size.

 

I'd say, if you were 60kgs and dropped 10kgs, there may be a slight decrease because your proportions would have a noticeable change. A larger body would make less of a difference.

You would probably drop blood pressure, as you tend to lose choleterol as you lose body fat....I think

[Gravity]

here is a good one,

for every 10kg you lose you gain approx 1 cm of pen1s length ........i have picked up like 20kg

Same power drive (Your fitness level) with a far lesser load to haul around ... damned well sure your heart rate would be lower as you will be working far less than should you be carrying the extra load.

 

Now lets stop these silly questions and put a little real world practice into this.

• Ride a section of trail/road with a incline and time yourself and check your heart rate.
  
• Now load up a back pack or small child weighing in at 10kg and do the same route. Don't forget to time yourself and check your heart rate.
  
• Now do it again without the loaded back pack or small child and you will fly up that incline.
  

After this I am sure you will be very motivated to loose the extra weight.

What kind of ridiculous question is this. If you drop 10kg, then by deduction you must have exercised and thus gained fitness which would result in a lower HR

Diet ?

Diet ?

 

Diet alone may result in that kind of weight loss, but the chances are slim
