China is a big cycling country, and almost 99% of people can ride bicycles. Recently, the reporter interviewed three cycling fitness professionals. According to them, riding a bike does not mean riding a bike to keep fit. Looking around carefully, it is not difficult to find some misunderstandings in riding.
There are many misunderstandings in cycling fitness, one of which is riding posture. "The wrong way of riding not only affects the exercise effect, but also easily causes harm to the body." Hu Yingchang, a student in the Department of Sports Physiology of Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, told the reporter that when he gave guidance to fitness enthusiasts, he found that the wrong riding posture was very common, such as legs outward and heads down. "The correct posture is: lean forward slightly, straighten your arms, tighten your abdomen, use abdominal breathing, keep your legs parallel to the beam of the car, keep your knees and hips in harmony, and pay attention to the riding rhythm."
Myth 2: The action of pedaling. "It is generally believed that the so-called pedal means that the foot is stepped down and the pedal is turned around, so you can move forward. The correct pedaling should be divided into four coherent movements: pedaling, pulling, lifting and pushing. " Shi Bo, who used to be an athlete and coach in a professional team, said: "The sole of the foot stepped down first, then the calf retracted and pulled back, then lifted up, and finally pushed forward, just completing a week of pedaling. Such a rhythmic step can not only save physical strength, but also improve speed. "
