Better way to go to background in a running command

Actually I do this to bring a running command from the foreground into the background:

ctrl+z

and then

bg

There is a better way?

Because ctrl+z just pause the process and after that I need to run bg to unpause it. But I think this is like a jerry-rig.

Note: don't say to me run the process with &, I want a command for doing this when the command is already running.

That's the standard way to do it. There is no way to send the current process to background with a single keystroke. – Satō Katsura Sep 28 '16 at 20:29
