Morzine-mtb.com Publishes Info About Avoiding Biking Injuries

MORZINE, France - Feb. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- Mountain Biking is celebrated the world over as one of the most health sports. It certainly has a lot of healthy benefits, such as: improves cardio-vascular endurance; it helps prevent obesity, arthritis, coronary heart disease and helps the body in many ways. The reality of Mountain Biking also includes the risk of injuries. The team over at Morzine-mtb.com has put together some useful Tips to avoid injuries. The first Tip they offer is to see a physician to make sure there are no underlying health problems that would preclude you from this sport.

•  Warm-Up and Stretch: This is a very important thing to do before each riding session. Warming-up increases the heart rate and the body temperature, which makes it ready for the exercise. Stretching the muscles makes them ready for the exercise by increasing their flexibility and warming them up. People that simply jump-in to exercising or sports without doing a warm-up are the ones that get injured first.

• Wrist and Hand Injuries: Bike riders always have to contend with possible wrist and hand injuries. This area of the body has to absorb many shocks and impacts during the ride. Just holding the hands in the same position for a long period of time can cause hand and wrist trauma, this is similar to carpal-tunnel syndrome for computer users. It is important to let go of the handlebar and shake-out the hands to improve circulation. Gloves are a useful aid for hand protection.

Another important tip from Morzine-mtb.com is to stay hydrated. Just because the weather may be on the cool side does not mean that water should not be consumed throughout the ride. Hydration is vital to every cell in the human body. Muscles, Tendons and Ligaments all work better with proper hydration, have less injuries and will heal faster. With a little caution, Mountain Biking can be a super-pleasurable sport with lots of fresh air.
