Precautions for cycling
1. The posture should be correct and the mood should be relaxed. When riding a bike, you usually have to lean forward slightly,Keep your arms straight, keep your eyes level-sighted, and concentrate. When pedaling, use the forefoot and keep your body balanced without shaking. When facing uphill and headwinds, lean forward; when going downhill or downwind, keep your body upright and pay attention to safety when going downhill. At the same time, the breathing should be well coordinated with the speed of the car. Use abdominal breathing , and try to breathe through the nose.
2. Pay attention to changing postures. When riding a bicycle for a long time, pay attention to changing the riding posture, so that the center of gravity of the body is shifted to prevent a certain point of the perineum from focusing on for a long time. Standing for 10 minutes a day is a must-do for mountain bike riders. This is also important for those who ride bicycles on flat ground.
3. The force must be balanced. When riding a bicycle, sit upright with the hips and balance the force of the two legs to prevent the formation of a swelling due to excessive force on one side. When stepping on the pedals, try to ensure that your knees are not fully extended, because that will shift the center of gravity to the person's crotch and cause physical injury. When riding a bicycle, you should lift your body frequently to promote blood flow.
4. The seat should be suitable. The seat of the bicycle is not easy to be too high. If the seat is too high and the cyclist is shorter, not only will the body feel uncomfortable and uncoordinated when riding the bicycle, but also because the cyclist can barely swing up and down. Step on the ground to make the perineum and the car seat continue to rub. A comfortable seat position should be level or slightly inclined downward. If the seat is tilted up, even the best material will compress the buttocks artery. It is best to choose those with a wider seat. The seat area is large, and it is the pelvis that bears the force, which will not affect other parts.
