Cycling keeps YOU moving

Cycling on land or in a swimming pool or therapeutic pool relieves pain and improves athletic performance. Since cycling is a form of long-term training, this exercise is particularly beneficial for developing endurance, leg strength, and lower extremity strength. It aids in the strengthening of the lower extremities and improves cardiorespiratory function.

Cycling reduces knee and/or hip osteoarthritis related inflammation and pain, including joint stiffness, function, symptoms, everyday functioning, and quality of life. Nevertheless, the bicycle seat must be correctly adjusted. Consequently, stationary cycling may not improve knee range of motion (ROM) enough.¹⁸ Having the proper seating position stabilizes the knee while training it across a broad range of motion.

Low-impact exercise will increase physical activity while avoiding the potential negative side effects of high-impact exercise.¹⁷
