If you have been in the fitness world for some time now, you probably at least know it exists. The rest of you may be asking yourself a question from the title, so what is this weighted vest, and why should you be interested at all? We will look for answers to this issue together. In addition to a simple description, we will also look at how such a weighted vest is used, why people train with it and what benefits it actually brings.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meet_a_weighted_vest\"><\/span>Meet a weighted vest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>First of all, it must be said that it is a fitness tool that looks like a tactical vest for special forces. Unlike them, however, it is not bulletproof and does not contain pockets for grenades, knives, ammunition or other combat arsenal. Instead, it has pockets or an <strong>interior filled with something that increases its weight. <\/strong>That is why it has the adjective &#8220;weighted&#8221; in the name.

So how heavy should the ideal weighted vest be? As a rule, it should <strong>not weigh more than 10% of your body weight. <\/strong>Most research in this area speaks about the initial weight of a vest <strong>at 4 &#8211; 10% of a person&#8217;s body weight. <\/strong>This range is especially suitable for endurance sports<span style=\"text-align: inherit;\">. <\/span><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[12]<\/span>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/div>&#13;\n<\/div><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>However, the choice of load itself is more a <strong>question of individual abilities. <\/strong>If your physical condition is at a good level and you want the vest for training with your own weight, which you already handle quite well, you can easily go for a <strong>heavier vest with a weight of 20 &#8211; 25% of your weight. <\/strong><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[12]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you have never had a weighted vest before, it will be better to start with less weight. For example, try 5% of your weight and over time you may move to a heavier model. Keep in mind that a heavier vest does not automatically equal a better vest. Excessive load <strong>can quickly tire you out, and overloading also increases the risk of injury. <\/strong><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[9]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TOP_5_advantages_of_training_with_a_weighted_vest\"><\/span>TOP 5 advantages of training with a weighted vest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Above is outlined why you should be interested in a weighted vest, and now let&#8217;s look at the five main benefits of exercising with it.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">1. Burn more calories and promote weight loss<\/h3>\n\n<p>Given the extra weight, it&#8217;s no surprise that a weighted vest turns your workout into a bigger challenge. Adding a few extra pounds also <strong>helps increase exercise intensity, <\/strong>allowing you <strong>to burn calories more effectively and promote weight loss. <\/strong>This fact was also the subject of an American study on women aged 18-55 who underwent a six-minute walk test. As a result, a weighted vest weighing 10-15% of their body weight helped participants burn <strong>up to 13% more calories than walking without a vest. <\/strong><span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[5]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>One smaller study from 2020 also speaks in favour of exercise with a weighted vest. It followed 72 people with mild obesity who spent 8 hours a day with the vest for 3 weeks. The primary outcome of the study was <strong>weight loss, which was also accompanied by lower body fat levels. <\/strong>Thus, the use of a weighted vest can be one of the effective means to <strong>support your training in order to lose weight.<\/strong> <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[6]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">2. Increase your strength<\/h3>\n\n<p>A weighted vest can <strong>help increase strength and ultimately gain more muscle. <\/strong>This is similar to the<a class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/with-muscle-confusion-can-we-gain-muscle-faster-or-lose-weight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"(opens in a new tab)\"><strong> Principle of Progressive Overload<\/strong><\/a> during strength training. The extra weight added by the vest will <strong>force your muscles to work harder,<\/strong> which can help them grow and get stronger.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">3. Improve your running performance<\/h3>\n\n<p>Training with a weighted vest can be interesting not only for strength athletes, but also for runners. This statement is supported by a smaller study from 2015, in which <strong>runners improved their performance and endurance thanks to a weighted vest. <\/strong>However, the results of another systematic study from 2019 are also interesting. The researchers analysed the outcome of participants wearing vests weighing 5 to 40% of their body weight.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>The study showed that those who had a <strong>lighter load were able to improve their performance over longer distances. <\/strong>On the other hand, runners with <strong>heavier vests were associated with better performance on short runs. <\/strong>However, it should be added that further research is needed to clearly confirm these results. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[7] [13]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_8307-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Weighted vest to improve running performance\" class=\"wp-image-380368\" width=\"843\" height=\"562\" title=\"Weighted vest to improve running performance\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_8307-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_8307-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_8307.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">4. Strengthen your bones<\/h3>\n\n<p>Training, including the one with a weighted vest, can also have a <strong>positive effect on the strength, toughness or mineral density of your bones (BMD). <\/strong>This was also seen in one study from 2017, which looked at postmenopausal women training with a weighted vest for six weeks. It was found that after the research<strong> the bone density in the pelvis improved and the knee extensors got stronger.<\/strong> <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[8]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"is-style-default wp-block-heading\">5. Improve stability<\/h3>\n\n<p>During training with a vest, you can also improve your posture, which can ultimately <strong>contribute to better stability and balance. <\/strong>If you add weight in the form of a vest to the upper body, you will <strong>force the stabilizing muscles to work harder during training to maintain balance. <\/strong>When tilting in any direction with the load, you will be quickly forced to balance the weight to avoid falling. In this way, you can help improve your body&#8217;s ability to maintain balance. It is useful for various sports, but also in everyday life. In addition, it becomes invaluable with age, when there is a greater risk of falls and subsequent injuries. <span class=\"tadv-color\" style=\"color: #ff6600;\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"992\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Snimka-obrazovky-2022-06-21-o-9.44.44.png\" alt=\"How to use a weighted vest\" class=\"wp-image-380383\" title=\"How to use a weighted vest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Snimka-obrazovky-2022-06-21-o-9.44.44.png 768w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Snimka-obrazovky-2022-06-21-o-9.44.44-310x400.png 310w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"is-style-h2 wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_a_weighted_vest\"><\/span>How to use a weighted vest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Above you have already learned all the essentials.
