Exercise can bring you health or ruin your health.
Today, I’ll show you some common discomfort and some simple solutions.
It may not cover all aspects, but it aims to make cyclists pay attention to all kinds of discomfort during exercise, rather than choose patience or neglect, so as to make riding more comfortable and healthy.
Knee injury is one of the most common injuries for cyclists – up to 33% of cyclists have suffered knee pain.
The strength of riding comes from the large muscles of our hips and thighs.
In order to transmit this power to our lower legs and feet, it needs to pass through the knee joint, so the knee plays a vital role in riding.
There are two main reasons for knee pain.
On the one hand, the intensity of a single ride is too high.
The knee needs to be bent and extended repeatedly due to treading, resulting in constant friction of the knee joint, Patellar cartilage (directly in front of the knee) will be easily inflamed.
Once injured, the preliminary treatment can be carried out according to pricemm principle (refer to Baidu).
The main principle of this kind of injury is to step by step and not to exert too much force at one time.
On the other hand, it is caused by the riding posture.
Due to the simultaneous action of multiple muscles and forces in the knee joint, once the force is unbalanced, it is easy to cause knee discomfort.

Newcomers always have butt pain ▲ goddess Mi laugh chariot: shake your butt (mistake) the only thing you can’t avoid for the first time is the ass pain.
Even the old bird can’t feel the pain sometimes after a long ride.
How can you avoid the ass pain to the greatest extent? 1.
The way to feel the pain? If you feel the pain of squeezing your hips for a long time and start to feel the stiffness of your lower back, you should drive I began to pay attention to the impact of riding posture and cushion on you, which can not be solved by practicing “iron skill”.

Being ridiculed as the hardest hit area – cramp.
As a senior rookie, squatting on the roadside and fancy stretching is a necessary skill.
The sidelines also have to bear the “warm greetings” from passing cyclists.
Compared with other “cold and warm” and “difficult to tell”, cramps are a pain that can’t be hidden, so they are the hardest hit areas to be ridiculed.
▲ Aru was joked by fans that mouth cramps can cause muscle stiffness and unbearable pain.
For riders, cramps usually occur in legs, hands, back and neck.
In the fierce competition, once there is a cramp, it is difficult for you to recover in a short time, and the exercise state will be greatly reduced.
Sometimes the pain will even lead to inability to continue riding.
Generally, the main causes of cramps are fatigue and overload.
When the exercise intensity has exceeded the endurance limit of your muscle or the muscle reaches the lactic acid area, it will lead to cramps.
Another reason is lack of water and electrolytes, which affect the transmission of muscle and nerve signals, resulting in continuous muscle spasm during or after exercise.
The prevention method is to fully warm up and stretch before vigorous exercise, and then supplement water and electrolytes in time, including some electrolytes, sports drinks and salt pills..
