AI Article Synopsis

  • Female cyclists in the U.S. now account for nearly half of all cyclists, marking a shift from the activity being male-dominated.
  • Cycling offers numerous health benefits, but it also poses risks for both traumatic and nontraumatic injuries.
  • Recognizing how bicycle design relates to female anatomy can aid in reducing injury risks, particularly concerning chest, breast, and pelvic injuries.

Article Abstract

Previously a male-dominated activity, female cyclists now make up nearly half of all cyclists in the United States. Although cycling provides a significant number of health benefits, it is an activity that carries risk of injury, both traumatic and nontraumatic. Sex differences are seen in chest trauma and breast injury, as well as pelvic, given the inherent differences in anatomy. Understanding the relationship of the bicycle to the anatomy of the rider can help mitigate risks for injury.

Background: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major public health concerns linked to cognitive decline with aging. Prior work from our lab has demonstrated that short-term high fat diet (HFD) rapidly impairs memory function via a neuroinflammatory mechanism. However, the degree to which these rapid inflammatory changes are unique to the brain is unknown.
