1, physical fitness: cycling can not only exercise the waist and legs to lose weight, but also exercise the muscles in these parts to make them more powerful and elastic. In addition, in the process of riding, the blood circulation of the whole body becomes more streamlined, the blood is smooth and the body will become stronger and stronger.
2. Relax stress: Regular exercise helps to relieve psychological stress and prevent depression. Especially when riding outdoors, people can concentrate on enjoying some scenery along the way and meet like-minded friends and confidants when riding together. These are all good ways to relax.
3. Develop the brain: Because cycling is contralateral exercise, it can improve the agility of the nervous system. Alternate pedaling with both legs can develop the functions of the left and right brains at the same time.
4. Lose weight: Because people are doing cycling exercise, they are doing periodic aerobic exercise, so that exercisers can effectively consume more calories, and after long-term persistence, they can get significant weight loss effects.
5, improve sexual function: cycling for 4-5 kilometers every day can stimulate the secretion of estrogen or androgen, enhance sexual ability, and contribute to the harmony of husband and wife's sexual life.
6. Improve the human cardiovascular system: Riding a bicycle can compress the blood flow through the movement of the legs and pull the notes back to the heart from the vascular endings. In fact, it also strengthens microvascular tissue, which is called "collateral circulation". Strengthening blood vessels can protect you from the threat of age and keep you young forever. Habitual cycling can enlarge your heart. Otherwise, the blood vessels will become thinner and thinner, and the heart will become more and more degraded.
7. Safety and environmental protection: It doesn't matter if you hit someone while riding a bike. A smile and a few apologies can solve it, and people are generally absolutely fine.
In addition, the air quality is getting worse and worse now. The most important reason is that there is a large amount of exhaust gas from cars, but there is no exhaust gas when riding bicycles, which can make some contributions to our blue sky project.
8. Simply save money: Riding is a sport that does not need to be prepared like other sports, and it is relatively simple and easy to do. Besides, bicycles are cheap. Money for a car, n bicycles.
Disadvantages of riding a bike:
The pelvis of women is wider, and the pubic arch is lower than that of men, which conforms to the car seat. Therefore, the pubic-femoral groove and adjacent soft tissues are simply collided. Therefore, women who often ride bicycles, especially those who are loaded with people, are prone to pubic-femoral groove tumors.
First, increase the chance of urinary tract infection.
Cycling seems to have nothing to do with urinary tract infection, but under certain conditions, it can be an inducing factor of urinary tract infection:
1, female cycling during menstrual period, whether using oral or external hygiene products, may aggravate congestion or trauma of pubic beard, provide stomach conditions for bacteria to invade urinary tract, and make urinary tract infection possible.
2, the summer weather is hot, the clothes are thin, the sweat glands are strong, and the perineum is wet. Cycling will cause more local injuries.
Second, do some harm to the body.
1. Spinal and lumbar injuries: The main symptom of this injury is pain. If the shoulder hurts, the pain in this part is mainly caused by the long tube and low handlebar on the car; Neck pain, this phenomenon often occurs at the same time as shoulder pain; The third is low back pain, which is often caused by straightness when riding, because more strength will increase the burden on the waist and lead to waist fatigue.
2. Upper limb injury: This kind of injury is mainly due to the long-term compression of riding upper limbs. If the movements of the arms do not change much in a certain period of time, the blood circulation of the upper limbs will be relatively reduced, which is of course unfavorable to the body.
3. Joint injury: The main symptom of this kind of injury is pain. This is almost a common problem for cyclists. Generally, improper riding posture and excessive exertion can easily lead to knee joint injury, mainly including upper knee pain and rear knee pain.
Extended data:
The correct way for women to ride bicycles;
1. For people who often ride bicycles, the seats should be comfortable. If the seat is too hard, you can cover the seat with a soft seat cover made of foam plastic to reduce the friction between the seat and the genitals.
2. When riding a bicycle, you need to pay attention to keep your upper body bent. Usually when riding on uneven roads, the wheels will vibrate badly. If the upper body is stiff or too straight, it will definitely affect our spine and cervical vertebrae.
3. The impact force when riding is transmitted to all parts of the body from top to bottom, and the arm that directly contacts the handlebar has the strongest impact feeling. We can use slightly bent arms to cushion the impact and avoid joint injuries.
When riding a bicycle, the more knees bend, the greater the pressure. Therefore, in order to feel safe, most people will adjust their seats very low when riding bicycles, so that they can support the ground with their feet when something goes wrong, but the low riding posture directly puts a lot of pressure on their knees. It can be said that if you keep choosing this riding posture, the knee joint will soon have problems.
5. Don't use large transmission ratio when climbing steep slopes. Instead, use a lighter speed ratio. Don't overload your knees to ensure high frequency and low speed.
6. Ride moderately, avoid long-term or uninterrupted riding, and always keep the rest time of the knee joint.
