自行车骑行对健康的影响及相关政策研究进展

New Development of the Researches on Cycling and Health and Related Policies

自行车骑行是一项有利于健康的运动项目,在日常生活中鼓励人们更多地采用自行车代步出行和骑车锻炼对于促进公共健康、降低慢性疾病发病率具有重要意义。近年来许多国家和地区在大力推行自行车骑行和自行车复兴的政策、项目和规划。但自行车骑行同时也存在一些不利于健康的负面因素,通过在道路骑行中采取一些保护措施可以在一定程度上抵消道路骑行对健康的负面影响,达到骑行健身的效果。综述了近年来有关自行车骑行对健康的促进作用、与骑行有关的负面影响,以及国内外自行车骑行的现状,为与自行车有关的健康研究和政策制定提供理论依据。

Cycling is a sport conducive to health. Encouraging people to travel by bike in their daily life plays an important role in improving public health and reducing the incidence of chronic diseases. In recent years, many countries and regions have been promoting cycling and working out policies, projects and programs for the revival of cycling. Yet cycling has some negative effects on health, which can be eliminated to some extent by adopting some protective measures. Thus the effect of riding for fitness can be achieved. The paper summarizes the recent researches on the positive and negative effects of cycling on health and the status quo of cycling at home and abroad so as to provide theoretical basis for health research and policy making about cycling.
