Alternate exercise is not easy to get hurt.
Compared with the two, cycling is less likely to cause joint injury and belongs to a closed sport. The activity of fixing the foot on the pedal is relatively stable to the ligaments around the knee joint and has less impact and pressure on the joint, so it is less likely to form arthritis. But the repeatability is high, which often causes tendon inflammation.
Running is an open sport, which has a great influence on joints, so it has a great influence on their degradation and wear. Therefore, patients with joint discomfort, or patients with cruciate ligament surgery and fracture healing are not suitable for running. Running is a high-impact rehabilitation exercise. Riding a bike is a better choice. Therefore, for cyclists and runners who love sports, alternating exercise can not only exercise muscles in different parts, but also avoid excessive use of muscles and joints in the same part, and of course reduce sports injuries.
Riding a bike can improve knee discomfort.
Especially for runners who want to train running, running too fast and too much often leads to chondromalacia patellae. If the runner can pedal lightly on the flat road with high speed (90 rpm) at ordinary times or during rehabilitation, it is equivalent to giving the knee a rest. Moreover, although cycling and running can also exercise the quadriceps femoris, cycling can exercise the quadriceps femoris to make it stronger without bringing pressure to the knee joint, which can further reduce the load of the knee joint and reduce the discomfort of the knee joint. However, it should be noted that if you step on and climb the mountain again while riding a bicycle, it will cause greater pressure and discomfort to the knee joint.
Running can enhance bone density.
But cycling, like swimming, is less helpful to bone density, and running is the most obvious way to enhance bone density in all aerobic exercises, which can effectively prevent osteoporosis. For people over 30 years old, it is very important to stimulate and accumulate bones, especially for women over 50 years old. When menopause comes, bones will be lost in large quantities, leading to osteoporosis. It is necessary to start exercise as soon as possible to store bones, which is very suitable for running and cycling to cooperate and cross-exercise.
The pedal+chain drive of ordinary bicycle is improved into elliptical walking mechanism drive, which not only has the advantages of bicycle and running, but also improves some of its disadvantages. For example, if it has no cushion, riding a bicycle, especially for a long time, will definitely have an ass pain experience; For another example, it will not impact the joints like running, and it is suitable for a wider range of people. There are videos in the text. It's fun to watch them step on it. Don't miss it ~
Compared with elliptical ramblers with fixed fitness venues, the advantages are more obvious. Now, you don't have to hang out with a group of old people. You can go anywhere you want by bike and chat up young, beautiful and energetic girls-I don't need to emphasize it, and you know how attractive this new thing will be to girls ~
