E-bike and health

We presented preliminary data from our e-bike trial at the La Trobe Rural Health Annual Conference in Jul 2023 showing that, after 4-weeks of unsupervised e-biking, participants that cycled greater distances presented larger reductions in body mass and diastolic blood pressure. Also, those with larger initial blood glucose also presented larger reductions in glucose levels. These results highlight the importance of maximasing the usage of e-bikes to obtain the best benefit from the physical activity provided by these vehicles.
