Now in our lives, everyone may pay attention to their physical health, and of course exercise is indispensable. Nowadays, many of my friends like to ride bicycles. Riding a bicycle can have a very good effect on our physical exercise, so what are the specific methods? Next, the editor will introduce in detail the correct way to exercise by riding a bicycle in life. Friends who are interested, come and learn about it!

Cycling is a great form of exercise. Many people like to ride bicycles, but if you don’t pay attention to safety when riding a bicycle, it may be life-threatening. So, be extra careful. Below are some things we should pay attention to when exercising by cycling as introduced by hospital experts.

1. Three types of people are not suitable

First of all, cycling is not suitable for men as a long-term exercise program. Because bicycle seats are narrow, if men ride for a long time, their testicles, prostate and other organs will be squeezed for a long time and will experience ischemia, edema, inflammation and other conditions, which will affect the production of sperm and the normal secretion of prostatic fluid and semen. In severe cases, it may even lead to infertility.

Cycling can be beneficial for the prevention of cardiovascular and other diseases, but without the guidance of a doctor, unscientific cycling can increase the blood pressure of people who already have hypertension, increase the cardiac burden of patients with coronary heart disease, worsen the severity of hernia patients, and make patients with sequelae of concussion and epilepsy more prone to accidental falls. Therefore, people with these five types of diseases are not suitable for regular participation in this sport. Teenagers are in the growth and development stage and their bones are soft. If you choose a bicycle with low handlebars for exercise in pursuit of fashion, it will affect the curvature of the spine and body development over time. Therefore, teenagers should pay attention to the correct posture when exercising on a bicycle.

2. It is not suitable to exercise on the road

When exercising by bike, do not choose city streets as your exercise location, because car exhaust and dust are extremely harmful to people exercising. When riding a bicycle, the amount of exercise increases and the cardiopulmonary function increases. If you cannot avoid exhaust gas and dust, the harmful gases passively inhaled will quickly spread throughout the body as the cardiopulmonary function increases, and then poison the internal organs throughout the body. In the short term, it makes people feel uncomfortable and have a dry cough; over time, people will have headaches and general weakness. Cycling on the road for long periods of time may cause lung diseases due to passive inhalation of exhaust gas.

In addition, women who are in their menstrual period have weaker body resistance, so they are not suitable for this sport on heavily polluted roads. The sun is strong in the summer and it is easy to get heatstroke, so it is not suitable to choose the road as the activity venue.

3. Inadequate equipment and inappropriate

Because helmets can effectively reduce the chance of concussion when falling off a bike, U.S. insurance regulations require that cyclists must wear helmets, otherwise no compensation will be required in the event of an accident. But in our country, cyclists rarely notice this.

In addition, commonly used protective gear when riding a bicycle includes knee pads, ankle pads, elbow pads and wrist guards, which can prevent sprains, bruises and other injuries during driving. If you treat cycling as a sport, then you must have all these protective equipment.

Have you learned all the correct ways to ride a bicycle recommended by the editor above? Riding a bicycle is very beneficial to our health, but the prerequisite is that we must master the correct method. After reading this, I think everyone should know how to do it.
