Cois Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 After a visit to running inn I heard the words cycling shortens muscles. Now this ain't the first time I heard this. So any Mythbuster out there who can point me or others that heard this and want to know the truth in the correct direction. Many thanks girls and guys.
Vinnydabutcher Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Nice one crank bro!!!!! Apparently it has something to do with the fact that the hamstring especially, never fully extends trough the movement. That`s all I know
Cois Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 May I never look like those blokes... I heard that it effects the lower leg as well.
stewie911 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 It doesn't shorten the muscle. It's just because you don't use your hamstring as much if you only cycle. If you lie on the couch the whole day, all your muscles will shortenDo hamstring stretches and you should be fine. Better yet, if you were at RUNNING Inn, you've already found the solution...RUNNING
KaKa Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 from what I read all sports will shorten the muscles, that is why all trainerswill insist on stretching
