What are the misunderstandings you should pay attention to when exercising by riding a bicycle?

Cycling is the best aerobic exercise for physical exercise. It is very useful for the growth of cardiopulmonary function and can effectively prevent the occurrence of some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Cycling is a very common way for people to exercise in life. However, when people exercise by riding a bicycle, they must pay attention to some misunderstandings. So, what misunderstandings should be paid attention to when exercising by riding a bicycle?

Myth 1: Fast riding can make your heart rate reach over 85% of your maximum heart rate. At this time, the body mainly supplies energy through anaerobic glycolysis of glycogen, which can improve the anaerobic exercise capacity of the whole body, especially the thigh muscles, and help improve the anaerobic threshold. That is to say, the physical discomfort after strenuous exercise will be delayed, which will help us engage in higher-intensity exercise or persist in high-intensity exercise for a longer time. In addition, fast cycling is also very valuable for exercising cardiopulmonary function.

Misconception 2. In addition to taking into account aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, and cardiopulmonary function, the combination of fast and slow cycling can also increase the fun of exercise. If you can get scientific guidance and adopt a more reasonable combination of fast and slow exercise methods, you will achieve better fitness results.

Misconception 3. Moderate-speed cycling, which means controlling the heart rate at 65%-85% of the maximum heart rate, is a good way to exercise cardiopulmonary function and the body's aerobic exercise capacity.

Myth 4: The heart rate during long-term slow riding generally does not exceed 65% of the maximum heart rate. If it lasts for more than 20 minutes, it will "burn" more fat to supply energy. Therefore, it is more suitable for obese people who want to lose fat.

After reading the detailed introduction of the above related content, I believe that now everyone should have a better understanding and knowledge about what misunderstandings should be paid attention to when exercising by cycling. Cycling is the best aerobic exercise for exercising, but everyone should avoid the above misunderstandings when exercising, so as to achieve a good fitness effect.
