Las dos principales ventajas f\u00edsicas de un calentamiento de calidad son: <strong>Prevenci\u00f3n de lesiones y mejora del rendimiento.<\/strong>\nUn buen calentamiento consiste en <strong>Preparaci\u00f3n de los m\u00fasculos para el movimiento.<\/strong> al aumentar el flujo sangu\u00edneo y, por lo tanto, el suministro de ox\u00edgeno, al tiempo que eleva la temperatura muscular, lo que mejora la flexibilidad y la eficiencia del movimiento. Esto prepara el cuerpo para el ejercicio y ayuda a mejorar el rendimiento al <strong>activando el sistema nervioso central,<\/strong> lo cual cobra especial importancia en el entrenamiento de alta intensidad. Al preparar las conexiones entre los nervios y los m\u00fasculos, podr\u00e1s ser m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido y fuerte durante el entrenamiento. Una combinaci\u00f3n de estiramientos din\u00e1micos y movimientos cardiovasculares de baja intensidad permite <strong>Mayor amplitud de movimiento, lo que reduce la tensi\u00f3n en los tendones y las articulaciones, al tiempo que prepara los sistemas circulatorio y respiratorio para la actividad que se va a realizar.<\/strong>\nSe ha demostrado que un calentamiento de entre 5 y 10 minutos es especialmente beneficioso para las actividades de resistencia, velocidad y fuerza.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_quote\" ><p>Consejos:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Utiliza un calentamiento para ir aumentando gradualmente la intensidad del entrenamiento.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Calienta durante 5 a 10 minutos.

Con todo el mundo practicando el distanciamiento social, es el momento ideal para empezar a montar en bicicleta. Pero, incluso al margen de esta terrible pandemia, ir al trabajo en bicicleta es una de las mejores decisiones que puedes tomar. Para que te animes a seguir leyendo el art\u00edculo, aqu\u00ed tienes cuatro razones fant\u00e1sticas por las que deber\u00edas cambiar tu forma de desplazarte al trabajo:\n\u00a0\n\nSalud Mantener una rutina de ejercicio regular es dif\u00edcil. \u00a1Pero no tiene por qu\u00e9 serlo! Si dejas el coche o el transporte p\u00fablico, puedes hacer dos sesiones de cardio al d\u00eda sin perder tu valioso tiempo libre. Despu\u00e9s de aproximadamente un mes yendo al trabajo en bicicleta, empezar\u00e1s a sentirte m\u00e1s en forma, tu cuerpo (especialmente si llevas una vida relativamente sedentaria) estar\u00e1 m\u00e1s tonificado y, en general, te sentir\u00e1s m\u00e1s sano y con m\u00e1s energ\u00eda.\n\u00a0\n\nDinero: un coche es caro. Todo ese dinero en gasolina, aceite, mantenimiento, reparaciones y aparcamiento. Ir al trabajo en bicicleta puede suponer un gran ahorro. Las estimaciones ascienden a 9000 d\u00f3lares por persona y a\u00f1o en Estados Unidos.\n\u00a0\n\nTiempo Si est\u00e1s en forma, ir al trabajo en bicicleta puede ahorrarte tiempo. Atascos, cortes de carretera y b\u00fasqueda de aparcamiento en tu coche, trenes y autobuses cancelados o retrasados y metros abarrotados en el transporte p\u00fablico: puedes evitar todo eso con una bicicleta. Por no hablar de la reducci\u00f3n del estr\u00e9s. Y, dependiendo de tu estado f\u00edsico, para desplazamientos de hasta 8 kil\u00f3metros, a menudo ser\u00e1s m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido si vas en bicicleta.\n\u00a0\n\nFelicidad Numerosos estudios han demostrado que el ejercicio regular reduce el estr\u00e9s y alivia los s\u00edntomas de ansiedad y depresi\u00f3n. Pero ir en bicicleta puede levantarte el \u00e1nimo de muchas m\u00e1s formas. La capacidad de montarte en tu bicicleta y usar tu propio cuerpo puede darte una enorme sensaci\u00f3n de logro que un coche nunca te puede proporcionar. Adem\u00e1s, ir en bicicleta provoca en muchas personas una intensa sensaci\u00f3n de libertad. \u00bfRecuerdas cuando montabas en bicicleta de ni\u00f1o? \u00bfCuando por fin dejaste las rueditas y fuiste al colegio en bicicleta? \u00a1Ir al trabajo en bicicleta te permite revivir esas experiencias! Y, por \u00faltimo, montar en bicicleta te har\u00e1 m\u00e1s consciente. Empezar\u00e1s a fijarte en el canto de los p\u00e1jaros, en la sensaci\u00f3n del fr\u00edo, del calor, en el viento que te roza. Simplemente, hay menos distracciones cuando vas en bicicleta.\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sportstyle\/bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now\/\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">leer la historia<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A menudo se pasa por alto la importancia de realizar un calentamiento y un enfriamiento adecuados.

The two major physical benefits to a quality warm up are \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;injury prevention and enhanced performance.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nA good warm up is all about \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;priming muscles for movement\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; by increasing blood flow and therefore oxygen supply while also raising muscle temperature resulting in improved flexibility and movement efficiency.\\nThis prepares the body for exercise and helps to improve performance by \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;firing up the central nervous system,\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; which becomes especially important for high intensity training. By priming the connections between your nerves and muscles you will be able to be faster and stronger during your training.\\nA combination of dynamic stretches and low intensity cardiovascular movement allows for \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;greater range of motion, reducing stress on tendons and joints while prepping the circulatory and respiratory systems for the activity to come.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nA 5-10 minute warm up is found to be especially beneficial for endurance, sprint and strength activities.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\",\"firstletter\":\"\",\"gradient\":\"none\",\"spacing\":true,\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"className\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;Tips:\\u0026lt;\/p\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;- Use a warm up to gradually build into a workout\\u0026lt;\/p\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;- Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
