It’s common for most people to have one bike, a more economical one, for training on indoor trainers, especially during the winter months. This can be a big mistake, as the bike used for the trainer may not have the correct dimensions!
If the components and bicycles are not identical, it is impossible to transfer the measurements from one bicycle to another. In other words, different bicycles, different components, different measurements.
There are 3 points of contact with the bicycle: the saddle, the hands, and the feet. And as a rule, when you use a secondary bicycle for the rollers, the saddle is different, as are the handlebars and shoes.
All of these situations completely change the athlete’s relationship with the bicycle.
This can lead to discomfort in the hands, shoulders, neck, back, and feet. It can also cause injuries to the joints and, more commonly and dangerously, to the prostate.
Since training on a stationary bike typically “forces” an even more static position than usual, remaining seated for a longer period than normal can cause significant discomfort in the perineal region. In men in particular, this can result in inflammatory processes in the prostate. Estando o selim numa posição incorreta, agrava ainda mais situação.
