Spin bike History
Spin bike History
In and out of the gym, the bike never seems to leave the spotlight.
In 1791 in France, a two-wheeled wooden wheeled vehicle was manufactured based on a horse-drawn carriage.
As a means of transportation, bicycles seem to have a long history, but they are still not as good as exercise bikes that go into the room.
A device called the Gymnasticon was invented in 1741. This device consisting of pedals, hand cranks, and flywheels was once used to assist in the treatment of symptoms such as muscle atrophy, paralysis, and joint rheumatism, and even directly affected the development of physical therapy after the 19th century.
However, there is still a distance between this and an exercise bike with a scientific exercise program.
Until 1993, South African bicycle racer Johnny Goldberg designed an indoor exercise bike with adjustable resistance to simulate real road conditions, and developed a series of exercise courses based on it, which is also the origin of the spinning bike brand Spinning.
Since then, cycling, as an effective way of exercising, has become a trend to go indoors.
The popularity of cycling fitness may also be related to its extremely friendly exercise mode for novices.
The structure of the indoor exercise bike greatly increases the area where the user's body is supported when exercising. And cycling fitness, more only involves the body's knee extension and knee flexion in the sagittal plane.
In addition to meeting the needs of fitness beginners in terms of functionality, the immersive fitness atmosphere created through music, lighting, and venues may also weaken the anti-human nature of fitness.
Generally speaking, whether it is the simple exercise mode determined by the structure of the bicycle equipment, or the immersive fitness experience created by the bicycle gym for users, it is showing favor to fitness novices.
