Walking in the water is laborious, and swimming again will definitely consume more calories. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of water is 24 times greater than that of air, and the water temperature is generally lower than the air temperature, which is also beneficial to heat dissipation and heat consumption. Therefore, the energy consumed during swimming is much greater than that in land-based sports such as running, so the weight loss effect is more obvious.
