The pain caused by arthritis in the world troubles millions of people. In severe cases, the pain can only be temporarily relieved by taking medicine. In recent years, a study abroad found that cycling can not only relieve the pain caused by arthritis, but also prevent the occurrence of arthritis.
Some senior cyclists may know that cycling can prevent muscle atrophy caused by aging and increase muscle mass. Some medical experts also recommend that patients can maintain about 30 minutes of cycling every day to observe the effect on arthritis.
Dr. Rob Middleton of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital in the UK found that non-load bearing exercise may be more effective than stem cell therapy or nanotherapy in repairing joints. At the same time, this discovery is not only made by Dr. Middleton. A report on the Livestrong.com website pointed out that a study conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States showed that cycling every day can prevent arthritis and relieve pain in arthritis patients.
Cycling itself is a favorite sport of Dr. Middleton, who explains that while arthritis is primarily caused by wear and tear of bones and cartilage, it is also related to muscles. He adds that while professional cyclists also have arthritis, their symptoms worsen as soon as they stop cycling.
