How To Stop Mountain Biking Pains and Strains
Mountain Biking and indeed cycling in general is one of the most popular sports in the world. In can be used both as part of a fitness regime, commuting to work, in competitive sports, or just as a bit of fun. However, if you don’t take necessary precautions, cycling can lead to quite nasty pains in injuries, especially for mountain bike riders who often ride quite aggressively. Here we examine the causes and preventive measures for 3 of the most common cycling-related injuries.
Wrist Injury. When you are traveling over bumps or uneven ground, the force is usually transmitted through the forks and into the wrists. What’s more, as your upper body weight is usually pushing down on your wrists, they can often be put under a lot of strain and become inflamed or injured. A good way to avoid this is have decent suspension on the bike to absorb a lot of the pressure, or alternatively find a bike that is made out of impact absorbing material such as the Trek Madone.
Pain In The Backside. This is one of the most common complaints and is basically a result of repetitive pressure on the gluteus maximus (backside) muscle and surrounding sensitive areas. It can actually become quite serious if left untreated and if you want ensure that you can still have children, it’s worth taking precautions. Buying a decent bike saddle is the number one thing to do and you should test ride one for a good few miles before you buy one. You can also purchase specialised cycle clothing such as padded shorts which act to dampen the effect of harmful pressure.
Knee Problems. A large number of cyclists report suffering from inflamed knee joints or damage to the cartilage in the knee. If you lock out your knees when you are cycling this can cause problems, but most often knee problems are a result of the bike. Try making sure all your bike components have shock-absorbing qualities, such as specialized road shoes which reduce the amount of force transferred through the knee joint.
