Commuting by bicycle (vs. by car) is associated with improved aerobic power, microvascular function and diminished CO2 output in the atmosphere
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This study found that people who commute by bicycle have better cardiorespiratory fitness, microvascular function, and skeletal muscle oxidative metabolism compared to car commuters. Switching from car to bicycle commuting for 6 months led to improvements in several physiological measures and reduced CO2 emissions.
