First, any bike-based exercise is a great altertive for those who are unable to do other forms of cardio like running on a treadmill or using an elliptical. For example, if you have a rolled ankle or a quad or hip flexor strain, an air bike provides a good option for exercising safely. It’s a great tool for rehabilitation as it provides safe movement with no impact. It also allows the area of the injury to move and provide blood flow to the area to aid in recovery.
Its operation is based on air resistance: the more force we use, the greater the resistance it will offer us. It adapts to the specific needs of each user thanks to its individualised adjustments. As there are not two equal athletes, the possibilities of customisation and types of training are endless. You can maintain a smooth rhythm that stabilizes your heart rate, you can measure the time and distance you want to reach or you can jump, instantly, to a session of high intensity intervals. The possibilities are unlimited.
