Bicycles are a very common means of transportation. Long-term cycling can cause body aches, especially in the lower limbs that pedal. Knee muscle aches can also last for a long time. Therefore, people who ride bicycles frequently should pay attention to it. They should take a break after riding for a while. Giving the knees some rest time can avoid the occurrence of aches. So what are the causes of knee muscle aches caused by cycling? The main reasons are: 1. A seat that is too high can cause pain on the outside of the knee; a seat that is too low can cause pain on the inside of the knee; a seat that is too low can cause excessive bending of the knee joint. Measures: Adjust the cycling seat to fit your legs so that you can open your legs and avoid riding with your thighs turned inward or outward. 2. Heavy gear and high frequency stepping can cause pain behind the kneecap, and the pain point is pressed on the kneecap. Measures: When riding, try to use a small gear ratio to increase the pedaling frequency. Do not use a gear ratio that is too heavy. You must use light pedaling. Start riding with light gears, exert force with both legs evenly, don't push too hard and rest more. When riding uphill, ride if you can, don't force it, pushing a bike is not a embarrassing thing. 3. Shaking your legs left and right when pedaling will cause wear and tear on the knee joints. Measures: Pay attention to whether your knee joints are shaking while riding a bike, and correct them subconsciously to make the movements smoother. Strengthening the thigh muscles can make the pedaling action more stable. It should be noted that muscles are stiffer when the weather is cold, so you should warm up fully before exercising. Do not force yourself if you feel unwell. Beginners should not pursue high volume and speed of exercise, otherwise they may damage the knee joints, and in severe cases, even cause knee effusion. In addition, people with heart disease and high blood pressure, pregnant women and women who are menstruating are not suitable for cycling. To avoid high-intensity cycling, everything depends on scientifically arranging and reasonably allocating cycling routes so that you can exercise your body and enjoy the joy of cycling. If the condition is more serious, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and provide appropriate care. The reasons why cycling causes knee muscle soreness have been clearly introduced to you. During cycling, we can stay away from these adverse factors, use the correct riding posture, and pay attention to the speed of cycling. When encountering an uphill slope, do not force yourself to ride, but stop and walk over. Forcing your knees will put more force on them and is more likely to cause knee muscle soreness. |
