Endurance training builds incredible cardiovascular fitness — but it can also come with a hidden cost.
Cyclists and other endurance athletes are at an increased risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis due to the repetitive, low-impact nature of their sport. Without targeted strength training and proper fueling, this can lead to decreased performance, higher injury risk, and reduced long-term athletic longevity.
