Driving the bicycle – not only pleasure, but also useful pastime. Not only that this sport develops endurance and well influences the cardiovascular system, so during it various groups of muscles are involved.
What muscles develop in driving time by bicycle
On influence on the figure the bicycle not for nothing is equated to run. During driving on it different groups of muscles of the lower part of the trunk develop and become stronger. So, at torsion of pedals the big loading is the share of gastrocnemius muscles and popliteal sinews.
Also the largest muscles of legs located on the hip - quadriceps and bicepses aren't less involved. The first are located in the top part of the hip and develop generally when lowering pedals – their work can especially well be experienced at rise uphill. And the second are located in the lower part of the hip and load of them is necessary during lifting of pedals.
In addition, during driving the bicycle, gluteuses perfectly become stronger – they work along with quadriceps. That is why such sport especially suits women. Much less loading is the share of prelum abdominale muscles, however in this case nevertheless not to do without them in any way. They are involved in the basic during bending of the case forward or its deduction in direct situation. In either case they work together with back muscles. Least of all during driving on this transport muscles of hands are involved. Though when driving the mountain bicycle on the cross-country terrain they develop not worse, than muscles of the lower body. Nevertheless at professional cyclists of the leg are always more developed in comparison with the torso. The bicycle also gives load of podvzdoshny muscles which help to unbend hips and to bend legs in knees. They are located from the groin on each side. During driving it is very important not to damage them as they are quite vulnerable. That is why it is necessary to lower loadings or at all to stop driving if in this area the severe pain began.
As it is correct to sit by bicycle during driving
That driving by bicycle brought benefit, it is necessary to do it correctly. It is necessary to go by this transport with the hands relaxed and slightly bent in elbows. Brushes have to clasp freely the wheel from above, and wrists not to sag. It is periodically useful to change a little the arm position that they didn't flow. The back has to be a little inclined forward as at the vertical or horizontal position it pretty fast begins to grow dumb and hurt. If correctly it is impossible to hold the back, the frame of the bicycle means can be for you too long or short. The neck has to be continuation of the back, but isn't inclined forward or cast away. Legs have to reach pedals when they are in the lower point completely.
