The Minister of Transport wants to make Germany a cycling country by the year 2030. The main purpose of the sport’s goal is to delay climate change. But that is not the only advantage of a bike. When used correctly, it will keep your body and mind healthy and fit.
Why is cycling healthy?
More and more Germans prefer bicycles as a means of transportation in their country. In total, they cover 11 percent of all trips. Corona got worse. According to the Motorcycle Industry Association, the number of bicycles sold in Germany in 2020 was about 700,000 more than in the previous year. Cycling, on the other hand, is emission-free and therefore climate-friendly, which benefits the planet. On the other hand, especially in big cities, people often get the value of money because they can often reach their destination faster than a car. Cycling is also very good for your health.
Cyclists are less stressed
Researchers at the University of Zurich have found that cycling has a positive effect on health. In your study, they asked more than about approximately 8,800 people from seven countries about preferred transportation and health for two years. Bicycle use was found to have the strongest positive effect in all analyses. Cyclists felt healthier, more energetic, and less stressed than those who did not ride their bicycles like those who ride their cars like the Honda SUV.
Cycling Helps You Lose Weight
It is a well-known fact that cycling can reduce calories as well as stress. In 30 minutes, you can burn up to 250 kcal at speeds of 15-20 kilometers per hour.
Easy to Cycling with Joints
Pedaling with joints is especially easy, whether it is an electric bike, an ergometer, or a bike. It also benefits from the same benefits as other endurance sports, such as strengthening the cardiovascular and the immune systems. This makes cycling a wise and gentle fitness workout, especially for those overweight or obese people. The saddle weighs up to 80 percent, which puts less strain on the knee joint than jogging. The periodic movement of the legs also optimally supplies oxygen to the articular cartilage.
