Ways to be tired
Tuesday, May 6, 2008 | | |Bicycles are tired before the journey,
Cyclists are tired after the journey.
Thanks to Adam Rice, Jessica L. Mosher, Garry Jones, David Martin, Jim Balter, WR Chan, Bob von Moss, Brian O'Brien, and Bill Yoder suggestions. I have known all these forms of fatigue personally, with the exception of hypothermia, and have blackened a few times.
When sedentary people are tired, there is only one solution: take a nap, so most people think it is just a type of fatigue. In fact, there really are many ways to become tired, each in both the production of fatigue or loss of energy, but each type of fatigue has its own cause, consequences, and healing. It is extremely important for the cyclist to be able to diagnose the type of fatigue occurs and to respond with countermeasures against before serious side effects result.
Drowsiness
1) The drowsiness, the most common form of fatigue, is caused by lack of sleep. The symptoms are yawning, nodding head, dreaminess, and a slight reduction in energy costs. For a cyclist, is the least important cause of fatigue, but it can reduce the speed of a mile or two per hour. The only remedy is a nap, although people sometimes use drugs to keep more alert. Several cyclists reported nearly falling asleep or hallucinations. Certainly, stop for a nap in these circumstances; recent reports suggest that other methods to stay awake are not safe. Also, if there is no real cause to be drowsy or if the problem persists, see a specialist in sleep disorders.
Skin Burn (Sun Burn Burn or Wind)
2) burn the skin is caused by too much sun and sometimes by too much wind. The symptoms are red or blush skin hot to touch, a feeling washed away, dizziness and mild. Wind burning produces only mild effects, but sunburn can be life-threatening and is a leading cause of cancer. Even mild forms are much worse than missing a few hours of sleep. Burning the skin can easily be avoided by the use of sunscreen, clothing (and hats), and limiting sun exposure, especially by stopping in the middle of the day. The only cure for skin burn healing is slow, although skin creams can help.
Heart fatigue
3) Heart fatigue is caused by pushing too hard for your fitness level. The symptoms are a beating heart, breath away, lack of energy on the hills, a sense of internal stress, and more flush with the heat. This problem is more likely to occur after the journey beyond the normal and distance learning is most likely to occur when climbing a hill. The remedy is to stop, cool, pause and give the heart a chance to recover. Prevention may come from cycling at a slower pace or training to a higher level of fitness.
The muscular exhaustion
4) muscle exhaustion is caused by the burning of energy stored in muscles, sometimes called bonk. If fatigue heart comes mainly from pushing too hard, this problem occurs mainly pushing too far. The symptoms are difficult to ride, a desire to shore, and sometimes cramps. The effects of muscular exhaustion can last more than a day. Take a break, ingest sugars, travel at a slower pace, and training.
Pain
5) pain, if not caused by (2) or (4), is caused by poor adjustment or position on the bike, too rigid a position, hammering the road, or a few muscles not in as good form as others. Sometimes, sleeping position, an injury or mild arthritis may be involved. Clothing, shoes, and parts of the motorcycle may also be responsible. Very dry skin can cause cracks. Some areas that are most likely to become painful are the neck, back, hands, arms, shoulders, feet, crotch and down. The muscles may also cramps. Pain should not be neglected, because it worsens few real problems can follow. The solution varies from one state to another, but in general, the cure consists of 1) and off the bike and make periodic mild exercise during these times, 2) and extends slightly varying the position of body when riding, 3) adjusting the handlebars and seat positions and heights, 4) using another seat, the handlebars synthetic gloves and / or shorts, 5 ), While more horseback, 6) using strengthening exercises off the bike, 7) reduce the amount of daily cycling, and 8) change the type of bike. Some creams and ointments may provide some relief. Note: It is better to try the cheaper solutions first. It is also noteworthy: everyone some pain from time to time.
The heat fatigue
6) The heat fatigue is caused by high temperatures, humidity, and / or hot sun. The symptoms are an almost complete loss of energy, hot skin, dizziness, nausea and / or inability to eat. A lack of fluids in these circumstances is very dangerous. It is a life-threatening: the bike down immediately, take shade, cool off with wet towels, and drink liquids. To avoid this problem in the future, drive only in the morning and evening, during very hot weather.
Fatigue cold
7) cold, fatigue is caused by riding at low temperatures and cools. A headache can be a side effect. A greater variety, hypothermia, a life is in danger of lowering body temperature, and can sometimes occur fairly quickly when not wearing enough clothes at high altitude or in the rain. The only symptoms are fatigue, lack of energy, fatigue, skin and cold, hypothermia is often accompanied by drowsiness and confused thinking. The solutions are more warm clothes and come in a friendly atmosphere.
Dehydration
8) Dehydration is caused by not drinking enough fluids. Hot and dry or hot and humid and hot sun can cause rapid loss of cash. The symptoms are thirst, dizziness, and washed-out feeling, though sometimes thirst is deleted. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, wet your clothes, and rest out of direct sunlight. A myth is that the urine yellow indicates dehydration: yellow urine is caused by vitamins and other dissolved solids, not dehydration. Waiting until you need to urinate or even, until you are thirsty is unwise; making a habit in hot weather sipping of water constantly and stop frequently for beverages.
Oxygène fatigue
9) Oxygen fatigue is a lack of oxygen reaching the brain. It can be caused by overwork complicated by a sharp rise, fatigue and / or blood is diverted to the stomach. The symptoms are dizziness and points in front of the eyes, like a migraine. Stopping to rest is important, because dresser or a blackout May result. No other treatment is necessary. Oxygen fatigue is completely different from the oxygen debt, which is insufficient oxygen reaches muscles, leading to huffing and puffing.
Boredom
10) The trouble seems to be a minor problem, but it can cause fatigue-like symptoms and can lead to failure in a bike trip. The causes are the monotony in the landscape, no one to talk, nothing to think, and nothing to do except pedal. The speed decreases, and each hill is higher. The remedy is to find a way to reinvent or hiking trip in order to make it interesting.
Stress
11) The stress fatigue is a common problem on employment, it can produce extreme fatigue in a short period of time without any exercise or work. Cycling normally reduces stress on the tensions that can be released, but some days when traffic is bad, real strain can set in. This stress can lead to fatigue or muscle fatigue. The best solution is to get off the bike and relax.
Fatigue bones
12) Bone fatigue is probably a combination of the foregoing, the need to sleep to stress. This is the bonk to end all bonks; the accident which prohibits companies. Find a place to stop as soon as possible and get some real rest.
The real solution
When cycling on the road and the feeling of fatigue is first barely perceptible, pay attention, is the cause, and implement a solution immediately, following the Velocio rules: eat until you're hungry , Drink before you're thirsty, coverage before you are cold, and rest before being able to sleep. More miles, an average speed higher, and a happy trip will be the result.
