Spinning bike - fitness through riding

　　Cycling experts and biomechanists offer the following tips to help you avoid sports-related injuries while practicing indoor cycling: 

Pay attention to injury prevention 

Research shows that about 50% to 70% of indoor cycling practitioners suffer from neck and lower back pain. Participants who frequently engage in high-intensity training or have poor posture may even experience hand paralysis. ； Knee pain is caused by excessive pressure on the knee and tibia during cycling.  

To understand the importance of bicycle adjustment 

Proper bicycle adjustment can reduce body pain and muscle tightness. If you don’t know how to adjust your pedals to suit your limbs, you should ask a professional sports coach for advice in a timely manner. Don’t just go riding just because you are afraid of trouble. Not only will this not improve your fitness, exercise The effect will cause harm to the body over time.  

Check pedals and shoe buckles 

A fixed pedal often presents a potential hazard. This is because not all bicycles have movable or splint-type pedals. If you are used to using shoe buckles, you should try different pedals until you find the one that works best for you.  

If you use shoe buckles that are not suitable for you, you will lose control of your ankles, knees and hips when cycling. Once your feet exert uneven force, they will easily slip off the pedals, causing bumps and sprains.  

But it is not good if the pedal rope is tied too tightly to your feet, because if you practice for a little longer, your feet will be strangled by the pedal rope and the blood will not flow smoothly, resulting in numbness.  

Do not adjust the seat too low 

Pain on the front of the knee is often caused by a saddle that is too low. This posture caused by a too low saddle will excessively extend the knees, causing additional pressure on the tibia and causing physical discomfort.  

Don’t adjust the seat too high either 

Because if the seat is adjusted too high, it will increase hip pain and other uncomfortable feelings. This position causes you to overextend your legs every time you pedal, which can lead to inflammation of the Ares tendon, hamstring syndrome, and posterior knee pain.
