Cycling with arm soreness? These points are easy to solve!

Cycling with arm soreness? These points are easy to solve!
2024/3/30 12:35:00

Most friends who have ridden long distances have encountered this situation. When you encounter a long downhill and need to turn or brake, you suddenly find that your hands are sore or even unconscious. You have to concentrate all your strength on your hands and try to squeeze the brake to stop. Mild arm pain is common during cycling, so we often overlook it. However, persistent hand pain can affect cycling and endanger personal safety. So, let's explore together the causes and solutions of hand soreness.



01

Inappropriate equipment

Everyone needs specific factors such as height, leg length, arm length, etc. The purpose of exercise varies, and the suitable bicycle also varies. Inappropriate equipment is one of the causes of hand soreness. The frame size is too large, the seat cushion is set too high, and the handlebars are too long or too short. These factors can cause the body to lean forward, putting all the weight on the arms. Riding gloves that are too small, too large, or without protective pads can make the grip more difficult and result in poor blood flow. Factors such as heavy backpacks, tight cycling clothes on the shoulders, and tight sleeves can cause hand soreness and numbness.

Solving these problems is also very simple, that is, before purchasing cycling equipment, it is necessary to understand in advance and choose trustworthy brand products like Xidesheng. If it is your first time purchasing, you can choose to try riding or trying it out at an offline store. Online shopping can also measure your height, arm length, shoulder width, and other data in advance, and ask customer service to recommend a suitable bicycle and other cycling equipment for you.



02

Incorrect posture

If there are no major issues with your equipment, then you need to consider whether your riding posture is incorrect. Many beginners do not change their cycling mindset when they first encounter mountain bikes or road bikes. Even if professionals tell them about the height of the seat cushion, the way they step on it, and the techniques for changing gears, they still feel indifferent. A seat cushion that is too high can cause the body to lean forward, arbitrary grip methods can lead to uneven distribution of hand strength, and riding with an external or internal figure can cause muscle tension in the body, all of which can lead to hand soreness.

To solve these problems, the first step is to change the concept of cycling, treat it as a rigorous sport, learn more about cycling knowledge, and seek advice from experienced cyclists. The correct riding posture should be: parallel legs, step on the pedal with the forefoot, gently grasp the handle with slightly bent arms, and lower the body's strength to the back of the body. Relax the upper body, so that the hands are not easily sore.



03

Insufficient core strength

Core strength refers to the strength of our lower back and abdominal muscles. Although cycling involves bending down and holding the handlebars with both hands, the upper body does not actually exert much force. If you need to support the handlebars with both hands, then you may have insufficient strength in your core muscle group.

Check the strength of the core muscle group, you can release your hands on the cycling platform to see if you can maintain balance. Exercise core muscle groups by doing more exercises such as hard pulls, squats, push ups, sit ups, and pull-ups.



04

Cold weather and strong wind

Although we all have a heart of chasing the wind and chasing the day, if we encounter cold weather, the wind that comes face to face is like a knife cutting. Riding in the cold wind, the surface temperature drops rapidly, but the body temperature gradually rises again. Once stopped, the body temperature will drop rapidly. One cold and one hot, muscles are strongly stimulated and prone to fatigue. Especially in the hands, they are susceptible to wind, causing numbness and soreness.

To solve this problem, the first step is to avoid cycling in cold weather as much as possible. The second step is to take measures to keep your hands warm, wear full finger riding gloves, and wear a thermos to warm your hands. You can also drink hot water at any time to raise your body temperature.



05

uneven surface

For mountain bikes, bumpy roads are a common occurrence, and they use more force from their hands, so soreness is very common. In fact, for road vehicles, bumps are inevitable. Some cement roads may appear flat, but noticeable vibrations can be felt during high-speed cycling. When going downhill at high speeds, these subtle vibrations cause the front of the car to become unstable, requiring you to exert all your hand strength to maintain direction, and your arms are particularly prone to soreness.

To deal with this situation, we first need to strengthen the exercise of hand muscles and improve their fatigue resistance. Then, we need to improve the configuration and replace your car with better front suspension components.

The hands are an important component of our cycling control and a relatively vulnerable area. Using the above methods to reduce hand soreness can greatly improve cycling safety and bring us a better riding experience. Xidesheng reminds riders to wear sleeves and gloves during cycling, protect their hands, and enjoy a healthy and happy ride.
