Five benefits of cycling fitness
Besides running, many people in China like riding bicycles. It is one of the more common means of transportation, and the current trend is environmental protection and fitness, so many people will ride their beloved bicycles to travel on holidays. Cycling has many advantages in sports medicine research. Here are five benefits of cycling for fitness.

1. can prevent brain aging and improve Parkinson's disease: sports medicine research points out that when riding a bicycle, the left and right brain functions are balanced to prevent aging. According to the research report of the Radiological Society of North America, if patients with Parkinson's disease ride bicycles three times a week for two consecutive months, and the speed and intensity of pedaling are controlled by machines, the upper limb function of patients will be significantly improved.

2. It can improve cardiopulmonary function: Cycling exercise has the same endurance exercise effect on internal organs as swimming and running, which can exercise the muscle strength of lower limbs and enhance the overall endurance. When training stability, you can increase the intensity, and then increase the distance and rotation speed. When planning the distance, the number of kilometers can be pulled to about 30~60 kilometers, and the rotation speed can be kept at about 90 revolutions, thus improving the "maximum oxygen uptake" and "cardiopulmonary endurance".

3. Achieve weight loss: Aerobic efficiency requires the best cycling heart rate, which is easy to burn the accumulated fat in the body. Therefore, it takes at least 20~60 minutes to meet the requirements of sports endurance and intensity, and it takes at least 20~60 minutes to ride a bike. Based on the reference number 220- actual age, the figure is the maximum heartbeat limit. If the heartbeat exceeds this value, it will endanger the health of the body. The value of 0.6~0.7 represents 60%~70%, which is the best proportion of cardiac aerobic circulation after the test.

4. Keep the agility of the nervous system: when riding a bicycle, you need hand-eye coordination, so that the motor system and nervous system of the eyes and limbs can be fully agile, and 3 pairs of joints and 26 pairs of muscles of the lower limbs can benefit, as well as the muscles of the neck, back, arms, abdomen, waist, groin and buttocks. Joints and ligaments have also been exercised accordingly.

5. Improve sexual function: According to the research results, cyclists' sexual performance is healthier and better than other athletes, which may be because this exercise is good for the heart and cardiovascular system, which exceeds the risk of urinary incontinence caused by exercise, thus improving sexual health. Cycling for 4-5 kilometers every day can stimulate the secretion of estrogen or androgen and enhance sexual ability.
