Episode 29: Cycling Can Wreak Havoc on Your Bones - Take Action Today - with Dr. Eimear Dolan

Bone injuries can end your athletic season and even your athletic career - yet bone is often an after thought.

If you're having repetitive bone stress injuries, there are likely other things going on with your nutrition and training that need further investigation. It's never too late to intervene with bone health.

As a cyclist, poor bone health can often go unnoticed due to the non weight bearing nature of the sport. It's often not until someone crashes, and gets a bone density scan as a result, that poor bone health is revealed.

Today my guest Dr. Eimear Dolan and I dive many topics around cycling, running and bone health.

Dr. Eimear Dolan, is an exercise physiologist and sports science researcher out of University of San Paolo, Brazil. During this conversation Dr. Dolan walks us through the role of bone in our bodies,  discusses factors associated with cycling and endurance sports that could be problematic for bone health and how athletes and coaches can take action to prevent bone loss.

You'll learn what signs to look for that may indicate potential bone health concerns and learn about the power of nutrition and certain types of exercise in building and maintaining healthy bone mass. You'll also learn:

The importance of bone in youth and teen years.

Nutrition strategies you should consider around training hours.

What is osteoporosis and osteopenia? 

How could  poor bone health impact my performance?

Are calcium losses through sweat a concern?
