This survey was developed with a stra furniture English representative of 1,000 nationwide to Selle Royal, the company itali ana saddle maker, who wants to show the multiple benefits of cycling.
First study Health and bike
The report "Health and Bike" deals in detail with the effects p or pliant cycling on joints, back, and on the circulatory and immune system and represents the largest study so far has been carried out on the benefits of cycling for health.
Cycling strengthens the body and soul. This has been the result of this study published by the Health Center German Sport University (DSHS) in the city of Cologne for saddle manufacturer Selle Royal. University German Sport is one of the most recognized worldwide for its research work in sports medicine and sports physiological studies.
"Who rides a bike regularly, it saves physician visits, medications and even very expensive treatments. Although not begin regular exercise into old age, the results are palpable . People who suffer the typical symptoms pain is Palden, overweight and other cardiovascular diseases may share many years of good health, if they decide to use more than the bike, "says Dr. Froböse , president of the Center DSHS health coordinator princip to this new study.
The analysis of these studies show that the most common health problems such as discomfort or back pain and irregularities of the heart or circulatory can prevent by cycling.
Improved circulatory system functions
A balanced activity such as cycling, reduce the risk of stroke by more than 50%. Prof. Froböse explains, "the heart rate increases and the pressure low, in a nutshell: saving the heart works. The sport is negative reduces cholesterol, which is responsible for the calcification of blood vessels. In contrast, the amount of good cholesterol, which is responsible for the protection of blood vessels increases. As a result the blood vessels more flexible, the sedimentation of the plate appears less frequently and reduce the risk of arterial calcification.
Bicycling helps prevent heart failure, one of l as main causes 150,000 deaths each year. "
Prevention back pain
The back also benefits from cycling. When the cyclist takes the optimal position in the saddle with his torso leaning slightly forward, the back muscles are under tension and stabilize the trunk. The regular movements of legs especially strengthen the lower back and prevent the appearance of a herniated disc.
Summarizing the data from the study by Professor Froböse "The back muscles are strengthened thanks to the sport and keeps the spine protected from vibration and shock." Finally, cycling also stimulates the small muscles of the vertebrae dorsal than through traditional gym exercises only get to be stimulated and stretched with little effort. These benefits make cycling an ideal activity for people with back pain.
protects joints
Cycling is very advantageous for the knee joints and that 70-80% of body weight is cushioned by the seat. For this reason cycling is a good alternative to jogging because the joints and cartilage do not have to bear the overload, as proven by Professor Froböse. Cyclical movements that are made to ride represent a minimal burden on joints and ensure optimal situation for cartilage support. If your joints bear little pressure, energy and nutrients can be spread more easily through cartilage.
Those who protect your joints regularly cycling, thus preventing the risk of becoming ill with arthritis and also ensure that walking and running does not involve or No problem with the passage of time.
positive influence on the immune system
regularly cycling affects so positive and l immune system. The body of cyclists off chemicals that improve mood and make there is a welfare state. Phagocytes, bacteria-eating cells of the human body are immediately mobilized through the pedal, to kill bacteria and cancer cells.
For this reason cycling is used as therapy for cancer and AIDS. But also takes advantage of this simple method of locomotion he wants, prevention, strengthen your body against infectious diseases.
Small
effort, great results
The study shows with detailed proposals as to a person who normally cycling exercises will be scheduled for optimum results on your health. The duration and frequency of routes must be adjusted according to the physical condition, age and achieve desired results.
Only 10 minutes of pedaling and affect the muscles, the laughs go blood and joints. After 30 minutes displayed a positive influence on heart function, and from 50 minutes is stimulated fat metabolism. Regular cyclists can significantly enhance these results by consistently practicing the sport in their spare time.
In this way a woman between 45 and 60 years may increase three times the benefits to your immune system, if instead of 20 minutes, cycling 60 minutes a day. Cycling brings incredible benefits to health in no time, this phenomenon should facilitate the decision to dust off our old bike.
