Exercise has a similar effect on the brain as ADHD medication</a> by improving motivation</a>, concentration</a>, releasing endorphins</a> and inducing a sense of calm</a>.</p>Some of these benefits include:</p>Improved focus &#x1f9d8;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;</li>Improved cognitive functioning &#x1f9e0;</a></li>Decreased levels of stress and anxiety &#x1f630;</li>Improved impulse control and reduced compulsive behavior</a></li>Enhanced working memory &#x1f9d0;</li>Improve executive function (ability to plan and organise) &#x1f4c6;</a></li>Increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (used for learning and memory) &#x1f913;</li></ul>&nbsp;</p>How much exercise is really needed for the best effect?</h3>Exercise is important for everyone but even more beneficial for those with ADHD. The OpentraX team have spent years refining their knowledge on how much exercise, when, the best types and how to actually get and keep people engaged in it. Meeting the Australian guidelines of physical activity ( 150- 300 minutes of moderate physical activity a week) helps decrease the risk of comorbidities and some chronic diseases &#x23f1;&#x1f3c3;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f;. Leading an inactive lifestyle has been shown to significantly increase your risk of developing many preventable health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and a number of other chronic health conditions - all of which are significantly reduced with regular activity, like OpentraX offer in their Outdoor Allied Health and Adventure Programs.</p>Exercise Modalities OpentraX Uses To Maximum Effect</h3>The best type of exercise is that which you enjoy and that suits your lifestyle. OpentraX offers a range of outdoor activities to suit all interests from mountain biking and hiking to kayaking! &#x1f929; This allows you to get your daily dose of exercise while out exploring, having fun and learning new skills. OpentraX specialises in identifying specific interests</a>, hobbies or likes for each participant and leverages these to make their experience maximally rewarding, enjoyable and most importantly, FUN!!! &#x1f3cc;&#xfe0f;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;&#x1f6f9;&#x1f3ae;&#x1f3ba;[/column_text][edgtf_button size=\"medium\" type=\"\" target=\"_self\" icon_pack=\"\" font_weight=\"700\" text=\"Applications Open Now | OpentraX RIDES ©\" link=\"https://opentrax.com.au//pages/opentrax-rides-application-page/\" font_size=\"30\"]</p>What to consider &#x1f914;</h3>People with ADHD face a number of unique barriers &#x1f6a7;  to being active such as difficulty focusing, boredom, anxiety, forgetfulness and absent-mindedness. OpentraX is one of the leading service providers in this area with its innovative and personalised approach</a> to care. Parents, carers and those close to participants know them best and can help with specific details during the assessments or sessions &#x1f64b;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f; Our practitioners</a> are highly experienced working with many different types of disabilities and needs levels &#x1f91d;</p>How You Can Get Started, Right Now &#x1f6b5;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;</h3>If you or someone you know has ADHD, it’s worth tagging or sharing this post with them or a family member</a>. The number of times a quick tag, comment or share has changed someones life by putting them in touch with one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists &#x1f393;&#x1f600; (AEPs</a>) is astounding.  By doing such a small simple yet powerful act, you may be the one who sparks the idea of ‘ XYZ Should actually give this a go’.</p>Then sit back, watch and enjoy as the person gets involved, gets so much out of the programs and finds a lifetime joy or hobby that will keep them fit, make them happier and have a more fulfilling life</a>. You have that power….right now.</p>Yeah...sure….you could just find anyone to take them out for these kinds of adventures...but we’re very different. There\'s a reason we’re nearly always at full capacity.</p>Our AEPs are highly experienced allied health professionals that have the expertise to prescribe appropriate exercise for ADHD. We ensure participants aren’t overdoing it or training themselves into imbalances or injury; and set them up with rock-solid, scientific evidence-based programs that help them achieve their goals &#x1f64c;</p>We understand the perceived barriers to physical activity in those with ADHD, and can provide a safe and specific exercise program</a> and report</a> on improvements over time through our re-assessments</a> &#x270d;&#xfe0f;&#x1f4dd; These reports are helpful when it comes to NDIS plan review time. Our AEP\'s consider many many different factors when prescribing exercise for those with ADHD, the tip of the iceberg things we look at are:</p>Common comorbidities such as ASD</a>, obesity and epilepsy</li>Medication</a> side-effects and implications to exercise</li>Stage of motor development</a> to target appropriate exercise interventions</li>Cognitive ability and learning style to enhance motor skills and control</li></ul>\"We do things differently, a very good kind of different!\"</em></p></blockquote>Initially, a session may not always look like a ‘traditional’ exercise routine. Movement modifications are made to support the individual’s needs, and also – to make it fun&#x1f929;  We cap the number of participants that each of our AEP\'s</a> work with to ensure they have the capacity to prioritise each individual</a> and give them the time and attention they deserve.

Exercise has a similar effect on the brain as ADHD medication</a> by improving motivation</a>, concentration</a>, releasing endorphins</a> and inducing a sense of calm</a>.</p>Some of these benefits include:</p>Improved focus &#x1f9d8;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;</li>Improved cognitive functioning &#x1f9e0;</a></li>Decreased levels of stress and anxiety &#x1f630;</li>Improved impulse control and reduced compulsive behavior</a></li>Enhanced working memory &#x1f9d0;</li>Improve executive function (ability to plan and organise) &#x1f4c6;</a></li>Increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (used for learning and memory) &#x1f913;</li></ul>&nbsp;</p>How much exercise is really needed for the best effect?</h3>Exercise is important for everyone but even more beneficial for those with ADHD. The OpentraX team have spent years refining their knowledge on how much exercise, when, the best types and how to actually get and keep people engaged in it. Meeting the Australian guidelines of physical activity ( 150- 300 minutes of moderate physical activity a week) helps decrease the risk of comorbidities and some chronic diseases &#x23f1;&#x1f3c3;&#x200d;&#x2642;&#xfe0f;. Leading an inactive lifestyle has been shown to significantly increase your risk of developing many preventable health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and a number of other chronic health conditions - all of which are significantly reduced with regular activity, like OpentraX offer in their Outdoor Allied Health and Adventure Programs.</p>Exercise Modalities OpentraX Uses To Maximum Effect</h3>The best type of exercise is that which you enjoy and that suits your lifestyle. OpentraX offers a range of outdoor activities to suit all interests from mountain biking and hiking to kayaking! &#x1f929; This allows you to get your daily dose of exercise while out exploring, having fun and learning new skills. OpentraX specialises in identifying specific interests</a>, hobbies or likes for each participant and leverages these to make their experience maximally rewarding, enjoyable and most importantly, FUN!!! &#x1f3cc;&#xfe0f;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;&#x1f6f9;&#x1f3ae;&#x1f3ba;[/column_text][edgtf_button size=\"medium\" type=\"\" target=\"_self\" icon_pack=\"\" font_weight=\"700\" text=\"Applications Open Now | OpentraX RIDES ©\" link=\"https://opentrax.com.au//pages/opentrax-rides-application-page/\" font_size=\"30\"]</p>What to consider &#x1f914;</h3>People with ADHD face a number of unique barriers &#x1f6a7;  to being active such as difficulty focusing, boredom, anxiety, forgetfulness and absent-mindedness. OpentraX is one of the leading service providers in this area with its innovative and personalised approach</a> to care. Parents, carers and those close to participants know them best and can help with specific details during the assessments or sessions &#x1f64b;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f; Our practitioners</a> are highly experienced working with many different types of disabilities and needs levels &#x1f91d;</p>How You Can Get Started, Right Now &#x1f6b5;&#x200d;&#x2640;&#xfe0f;</h3>If you or someone you know has ADHD, it’s worth tagging or sharing this post with them or a family member</a>. The number of times a quick tag, comment or share has changed someones life by putting them in touch with one of our Accredited Exercise Physiologists &#x1f393;&#x1f600; (AEPs</a>) is astounding.  By doing such a small simple yet powerful act, you may be the one who sparks the idea of ‘ XYZ Should actually give this a go’.</p>Then sit back, watch and enjoy as the person gets involved, gets so much out of the programs and finds a lifetime joy or hobby that will keep them fit, make them happier and have a more fulfilling life</a>. You have that power….right now.</p>Yeah...sure….you could just find anyone to take them out for these kinds of adventures...but we’re very different. There\'s a reason we’re nearly always at full capacity.</p>Our AEPs are highly experienced allied health professionals that have the expertise to prescribe appropriate exercise for ADHD. We ensure participants aren’t overdoing it or training themselves into imbalances or injury; and set them up with rock-solid, scientific evidence-based programs that help them achieve their goals &#x1f64c;</p>We understand the perceived barriers to physical activity in those with ADHD, and can provide a safe and specific exercise program</a> and report</a> on improvements over time through our re-assessments</a> &#x270d;&#xfe0f;&#x1f4dd; These reports are helpful when it comes to NDIS plan review time. Our AEP\'s consider many many different factors when prescribing exercise for those with ADHD, the tip of the iceberg things we look at are:</p>Common comorbidities such as ASD</a>, obesity and epilepsy</li>Medication</a> side-effects and implications to exercise</li>Stage of motor development</a> to target appropriate exercise interventions</li>Cognitive ability and learning style to enhance motor skills and control</li></ul>\"We do things differently, a very good kind of different!\"</em></p></blockquote>Initially, a session may not always look like a ‘traditional’ exercise routine. Movement modifications are made to support the individual’s needs, and also – to make it fun&#x1f929;  We cap the number of participants that each of our AEP\'s</a> work with to ensure they have the capacity to prioritise each individual</a> and give them the time and attention they deserve.

However, it can be difficult for people to find out about the wide range of solutions on offer. That\'s why we have our program options section available on the OpenTrax website.</p></p></p>The numerous benefits of cycling</em> </strong>are incredible. If you’re still on the fence about picking up this particular activity, then please allow me to provide you with the many reasons why cycling regularly is a great idea.</p></p></p>&nbsp;</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Quality of Life Benefits</h2></p></p>You shouldn’t be surprised that cycling regularly can be beneficial to your health. However, it may surprise you to learn just how good for your body this activity is.</p></p></p>1. Improves Your Heart Health</h3></p></p>You encourage your heart to get in gear when you ride your bike regularly. Regular exercise conditions the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout your body. Also, since you can dictate the intensity of your exercising, there will be no need for you to push your heart. Riding with OpenTrax is so enjoyable, exciting and fun that most of the time participants forget that they are working pretty hard (relative to their level) so improving fitness and other ideal outcomes is not a grind.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>2. Strengthens Your Lungs</h3></p></p>Bike for long enough, and you should start to feel a satisfying slight burning sensation in your chest. That’s an indicator of your lungs working. Keep going at your own pace while biking in order to condition your lungs better. Your AEP will be able to instruct you as to what level is going to be most appropriate.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>&nbsp;</p></p></p>3. Increases Your Stamina</h3></p></p>Because of the positive impact biking can have on your heart and lungs, you can also expect this activity to profoundly increase your stamina level. If you found yourself getting tired after just biking for about 30 minutes or so when you first started out, that should improve as you bike more frequently. OpenTrax is an active adventure program which means that it\'s going to have participants using and developing their body, strength, endurance and many other neural and motor control capabilities...this can quickly make any of your daily activities feel like a breeze. Oh, and for all that hard work you\'re going to be doing, don’t forget to drink a lot of water!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>4. Burns Your Body Fat</h3></p></p>Cycling is a good activity to take up if you want to burn more calories regularly. With so many parts of your body in motion, you can’t help but expend those calories you have consumed. Cycling is especially effective for getting rid of belly fat, so give it a try if you’ve been trying to get rid of your excess mass there.</p></p></p>Tip: </strong>If you want to track all the calories, you are burning, map your ride, speed, elevation and other great data points. Be sure to read the article about using Strava.</em></p></blockquote></p></p></figure></p></p>5. Strengthens Muscles and Improve Functional Range Of Motion & Flexibility</h3></p></p>Many forms of exercise target only specific muscle groups. Things are different when you’re cycling because you’re engaging more muscles. All that cycling will work to strengthen the muscles and the constant motion will also improve their range of motion and your flexibility. As a part of the program, participants are also provided with a clinical exercise physiologist designed:</p></p></p>Pre-ride stretch, mobility and activation program, and</li>Home and/or gym exercise program to improve strength and endurance for rides</li></ul></p></p></figure></p></p>6. Helps Your Joints Stay Healthy</h3></p></p>Joint pain is something most people will have to deal with at some point in your life, especially when you are a senior or an older adult.  However, cycling will help delay the onset of it by a significant amount of time. Unlike running, you can control the impact on your joints by cycling, making it a significantly better option to consider. Our allied health professionals regularly see the outcomes from years of high-impact activities like running in their day-to-day rehabilitation sessions with our injury clients...we advocate for cycling as one of the best low-impact options.</p></p></p>Tip:</strong> Check out our programs</a> section to find exercise programs designed by our Clinical Exercise Physiologists - you can do them at home or gym with little or lots of equipment to</em> keep your body seriously healty and fit. If you would like a tailormade, individually designed program you can book an online initial assessment here</a> - after which your AEP will be able to provide you with a program that has an app with video demonstrations, detailed pictures and instructions, outcome & session tracking, session reminders, live chat to your AEP. </em></p></blockquote></p></p></figure></p></p>7. Exercise Without Causing Pain, Inflammation and Further Injury</h3></p></p>The ability to control the intensity level of cycling means that you don’t have to push your body to its limits. You can get a full workout in by cycling without having to deal with an aching body the day after. Sure you might be a little bit stiff, but only enough to remind yourself what a great session you\'d done the day before!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>8. Protects Against Injuries</h3></p></p>Injuries can happen with just about every kind of physical activity. With cycling though, we are able to decrease risk participants of compensatory injuries due to poor movement patterning and movements by optimizing and re-patterning motor patterns to be optimal. And, the fact that you will always be able to ride at the intensity of your choice enables you to avoid injury from pushing it too hard (which won\'t happen with an AEP around!).</p></p></p></figure></p></p>9. Improve The Richness Of Your Life</h3></p></p>People who get out into nature are happier. It\'s a fact. Just getting out amongst the trees, the birds singing and watching the wallabies hop around and koalas lazily chewing the tips of gumtrees, filling your lungs with the freshest oxygen-rich air coming straight out of the leaves, has significant benefits of their own. As humans, we have a connection to the outdoors having survived and evolved in it for millions of years - it\'s a real thing, and people who embrace this fact reap the rewards. Any of our participants will tell you why they love to get out onto the trails!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>10. Makes It Possible for People to Live Longer</h3></p></p>A study conducted by researchers at the University of Glasgow looked at how the method of commuting affected the lifespans of numerous individuals. Of the 263, 450 participants, those who commuted via cycling were the individuals who were least likely to be deceased. So, people who ride more, tend to live longer! Simple.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Disease-Preventing Benefits</h2></p></p>Cycling will do more than just improve your health. Participants that ride with OpenTrax regularly, will also improve their chances against several modern-day diseases that are tearing through the world...</p></p></p></figure></p></p>1. Improves Your Cholesterol Levels</h3></p></p>The doctor said you need to decrease your cholesterol? You\'re on so many tablets that it\'d be nice to have a few fewer? Well, riding can help with that. There are two types of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol is the one you want to reduce, while high-density lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol is the one that protects your body. By biking more, you can lower the level of LDL cholesterol in your body. That activity will also boost your HDL cholesterol levels which is what your doctor would like to see!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>2. Regulates Blood Pressure</h3></p></p>High blood pressure is an issue many people deal with as they age and even for younger people with particular medications (ADHD, ASD, Autism etc). There’s medication for it, but that alone won’t be enough. Exercising is important as well and cycling just happens to be among the forms of exercise that can seriously combat high blood pressures. Aside from lowering it, cycling also makes it easier to maintain an ideal blood pressure level. Doing even a 10-minute bout of aerobic activity can drop your BP by 10mmHg immediately afterward. We\'ll take that, thanks!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>3. Lowers the Risk for Heart Disease</h3></p></p>Considering that cycling helps with improving your cholesterol levels and regulating your blood pressure, you’ve probably already guessed that it also protects you against heart disease.</p></p></p>According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Cycling will help lower the chances that you are also victimized by that disease.</p></p></p></figure></p></p></figure></p></p>4. Fights Obesity</h3></p></p>Along with helping you burn calories and fat, cycling also boosts your rate of metabolism. All those health benefits of biking will help with the cause of you shedding the pounds. For individuals dealing with the difficulties of obesity, cycling will make it easier to get back on track.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>5. Prevents the Onset of Type 2 Diabetes</h3></p></p>It is believed that more people growing inactive is contributing to more cases of type 2 diabetes. Cycling will encourage people to get moving without tiring them out too much.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>6. Steers People Clear of Cancer</h3></p></p>To be more specific, getting on your road bike, gravel bikes, mountain bike, tandem or adaptive bike more often is expected to lower your risk for developing colon and bowel cancer. For women, this healthy habit will also reduce the risk level for breast cancer. With 1-in-2 men and 1-in-3 women experiencing some form of cancer in their life, it\'s a benefit that is worth riding for.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>7. Eliminates Certain Issues with Your Digestive System</h3></p></p>Constipation may be a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, but it can really make you feel uncomfortable. Cycling more gets the muscles inside your body moving and that will lead to more regular bowel movements. Feel less bloated, full, gassy or clogged up, go for a ride and you can drink less Metamucil.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>8. Provides a Better Way to Cope with Arthritis</h3></p></p>Arthritis can be incredibly painful and the last thing some people will want to do when they have it is to exercise. Gentle cycling provides people with a way to still get their joints moving without having to subject them to the high amounts of pressure that can cause pain. In fact, moving the joint through the range of movement required on a bike thoroughly lubricates the joint with nutrient-rich synovial fluid which encourages healing, repair, and decreases pain over time.</p></p></p>In the case of arthritis or injuries it’s extra important you use a bike that properly fits your body. Our AEP\'s can assist you with a bike size chart for this, or they can perform a proper biomechanical bike fitting on you.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>9. Reduces Fatigue</h3></p></p>Compared to other types of exercise, cycling is not as hard on your body. That is especially true if you don’t bike with great intensity. Seeing that the program is individually tailored to your personal experience, fitness, and many other factors, you will be just the right amount of tired after your rises with us.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>10. Deeper, More Restful Sleep</h3></p></p>There were rumblings not too long ago that cycling can create powerful changes for your sleep.  Research indicates that cycling more can improve the quality of our sleep through a number of different processes.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>The Mental Health Benefits</b></h2></p></p>Cycling does more than just improve the condition of your body. This activity can also offer different kinds of mental health benefits.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>1. An Ally Against Alzheimer’s Disease</b></h3></p></p>Unfortunately, there is still no known cure for Alzheimer’s Disease, but there are ways to fight against its symptoms. Staying active through cycling will help delay the symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease. Cycling will also prevent brain cells from becoming tangled. There has been a lot of research showing many positive benefits around exercise improving Alzheimer\'s disease.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>2. Lowers Your Risk Level for Developing Parkinson’s Disease</b></h3></p></p>The prospect of developing Parkinson’s Disease is understandably frightening. There is no guarantee that cycling will keep Parkinson’s Disease away from you for good, but simply carrying out that activity at a moderate or vigorous pace more frequently can decrease your risk factor. Strengthening and regularly using your neural pathways, the nutrients, and oxygen transport to the brain with powerful antioxidants can also help in keeping this disease at bay.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>3. Helps You Break Free of Addictions & Negative Behaviour Cycles</b></h3></p></p>Some people are more prone to getting addicted either to substances or to activities. Getting rid of those addictions can be a challenge, but cycling can help. The runner’s high you can obtain from cycling can take the place of your previous addiction and as long as you manage your level of activity, you can also avoid getting addicted to cycling.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>4. Alleviates Anxiety</b></h3></p></p>Anxiety disorders are quite prevalent and they can also be crippling. Aerobic exercises can help alleviate anxiety. You can bike with more intensity to get rid of anxiety faster, but even gentler cycling should help you reach a better mental state. Just like your session in this program, research has shown that regular exercise can have a significant on people\'s anxiety levels. In your 1-on-1 sessions, you will be with your friendly AEP (and if applicable your support worker/family member/carer), peace, quiet and just ride. Riding has the profound ability to literally leave your anxiety behind on the trails. Yes, please!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>5. Serves as an Anti-Depressant</b></h3></p></p>Along with alleviating your anxiety, cycling can also help you deal better with depression. Adopting a more active lifestyle will reduce your chances of developing depression. Even if you have already been diagnosed with depression, becoming more active by cycling should help improve your mental health. Some participants are able to get off their anti-depressant medications with the supervision of their doctors after they start riding regularly with us. This is fantastic because it means they save money, they no longer experience common side effects of the drugs like significant weight gain, emotional numbness, and/or suicidal thoughts.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>6. Frees You from Stress</b></h3></p></p>Living life means that you are exposing yourself to stress. You need to do what you can to reduce your stress or else it may eat you up alive. Hop on one of our premium provided \'Giant\' brand bikes and pedal the stress away.  It doesn\'t take long to get rid of the stress that has been building upon you.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>7. Lightens Up Your Mood</b></h3></p></p>Cycling aids with anxiety, depression, and stress. By virtue of being freed from those debilitating mental health impediments, you will gradually notice your mood change for the better. Participants regularly report that they have never felt better. The program is so much more than just \'going for a ride\'. It\'s an experience. With social events and group catchups, it\'s a super fun way to meet people who enjoy the same thing you do. An easy instant conversation.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>8. Boosts Your Self-Esteem</b></h3></p></p>Cycling can do so much to improve your current state of life, ranging from getting you in better shape and staving off mental health issues. Even if it is already going pretty well! You can feel like a changed person after becoming a cyclist and it’s a change for the better, one you will look back on fondly and realize that it was actually a big turning point in your life. It\'s a common occurrence.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>9. Sharpens Your Focus</b></h3></p></p>You need to properly execute a variety of tasks at the same time whenever you are riding a bike. To accomplish all those things, you have to work at building remarkable focus. The ability to focus better when you’re on top of a bike is something you can utilize when tackling other tasks in everyday activities.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>10. Ignites Your Creativity</b></h3></p></p>Aerobic exercises like cycling can work to increase your creativity. Do you enjoy music, painting, drawing, singing or something else creative? Keep a bit of energy left in the tank because after your ride, so that you can still create a masterpiece when you get home. This kind of exercise really sparks our brain\'s creativity and is such a great feeling!</p></p></p></figure></p></p></figure></p></p>The Social Benefits</h2></p></p>Even your social life can benefit immensely from taking up the habit of cycling. Listed below are some of the ways in which this activity can help improve your social life.</p></p></p>1. OpenTrax Participant Meet-Ups / Group Rides</h3></p></p>OpenTrax often creates social events for participants of different ages, with families with picnics & barbeques in Karawatha Forest Park\'s Discovery Centre Parkland. Participants can make friends through the program on group rides. All group ride participants need to have completed a number of 1-on-1 sessions with their AEP before this is possible so their skill, experience, and fitness levels can be accurately assessed.</p></p></p>2. Biking Trips with Friends</h3></p></p>When friends get together, they usually want to head somewhere special. If you and your friends are all avid riders, then all of you can hop on your bikes and discover new destinations together. We are so lucky in South East Queensland to have so many beautiful and varied landscapes and areas to ride. The council has done a pretty good job with many bike paths being rejuvenated and turned into very user-friendly paths around Brisbane. Mountain biking and road/path cycling alike have many options for participants to get out with friends for rides too.</p></p></p>3. Stronger Familial Bonds Can Be Built Through Biking</h3></p></p>Siblings may all use the same bike as they grow up. As the bicycle is passed down, that gives siblings a better chance to spend more quality time together. Not only that, often one sibling teaching another a new skill can break down barriers even if it\'s only for a little while.</p></p></p>4. Teaching Opportunities</h3></p></p>You can pass down your biking knowledge to friends, family and even potentially your own children when the time comes for them to get their own two-wheeler. Teaching someone a skill is a skill in itself and a very useful one at that. Boosting confidence, ability, and knowledge, riding with OpenTrax is often the confidence boost participants have needed.</p></p></p>5. Become a Role Model</h3></p></p>It’s important for young adults to have a role model to look up to. Habits rub off on young minds...if they are surrounded by fit, healthy, and active people, they naturally become encouraged to adopt healthier habits. By becoming part of any of our OpenTrax programs, leading a healthy lifestyle is possible and easily achievable when you have the right advice!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>The Economic Benefits</h2></p></p>Cycling can do more than just improve your health and social life. It will also help you save more money by helping trim your list of expenses.</p></p></p>1. More Affordable than a Car</h3></p></p>You may end up having to take out loans and saving money for years just to have enough money to buy a car. Bicycles are way more affordable and they can still get you around town effectively.</p></p></p>2. No Need to Spend on Fuel & Transport</h3></p></p>All you need to get your bike in motion are your legs. You can say goodbye to your worries about fuel prices by riding places. Of course, you may not be able to ride everywhere all the time but you can certainly do a lot of local trips.</p></p></p>3. Parking Expenses Greatly Reduced</h3></p></p>Whenever you’re heading out with your car, you always have to factor parking expenses into your budget. Many establishments will offer free parking for bikes. Even those that charge for bike parking are still way more affordable.</p></p></p>4. Cut Down on Exercise Expenses</h3></p></p>You will have to spend a bit of money to maintain your bike, but the cost of doing so is nothing compared to how much you may have to pay for a gym membership. Take the</p></p></p>5. Inexpensive Maintenance</h3></p></p>Compared to how much you will have to pay to get work done for a car, the cost of maintaining a bike is significantly cheaper.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>The Environmental Benefits</h2></p></p>You’ll be hard-pressed to find any mode of transportation that’s better for the environment than bikes.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>1. Reduces Your Carbon Emissions</h3></p></p>According to the EPA, a “typical passenger vehicle” produces around 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Needless to say, bicycles don’t get anywhere close to that level.</p></p></p>2. Assists with Smog Reduction</h3></p></p>By riding your bicycle to and from work on a daily basis, you are no longer contributing to the production of smog that can be harmful to the atmosphere.</p></p></p>3. Does Not Make Use of Batteries</h3></p></p>Used-up batteries can still pose a threat to the environment when not disposed of properly. You don’t have to worry about that if you’re using a bike. An E-Bike, however? Some of these are being made with recycled batteries now which are helping the environment.</p></p></p>4. Does Not Make Use of Fossil Fuels</h3></p></p>Using a mode of transportation that is not reliant on fossil fuels is a good thing. If more cyclists emerge, mankind’s dependence on fossil fuels can be significantly reduced.</p></p></p>5. Creates a More Peaceful Environment</h3></p></p>People who live near major thoroughfares know all about how disruptive car noises can be. By cycling more often, you are doing your part to contribute to a more peaceful world - and you are finding peace within it while riding.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Other Notable Health Benefits of Cycling</h2></p></p>1. Spend Less Time in Traffic</h3></p></p>I saw a recent infographic that highlights just how costly getting bogged down in traffic can truly be. On top of that, being stuck in a car, taxi, or public transport for extended periods of time is not good for either your physical or mental well-being. Bike riders don’t have to get caught up in the issues caused by traffic.</p></p></p>2. Maximize Your Time</h3></p></p>Since cycling allows you to spend less time in traffic, you can use those extra minutes and hours completing other tasks at work, college or chores at home or just decompressing after a long day.</p></p></p>3. Easier Travel</h3></p></p>Most people have to rent cars when they are travelling to a different state or to a different country. If you know how to ride a bike, then you can just bring that along with you and use that to travel through your new location.</p></p></p>4. Gives You a Better Sense of Self</h3></p></p>Many people struggle with finding a hobby that truly resonates with them. Cycling can fill that void in your life by giving you a highly enjoyable activity you can sink numerous hours into.</p></p></p>5. Brings More Joy into Your Life</h3></p></p>After reading through all the many benefits of bike riding listed above, it’s not hyperbolic in any way to suggest that adopting this hobby can make you a happier person. If you haven’t given a try yet, then you should do so in the near future.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Conclusion</h2></p></p>Biking truly is more than just another hobby that you can pick up to kill time. By giving cycling a larger role in your daily routine, you are improving your life in numerous ways.</p></p></p>It’s time for you to fully embrace the many health benefits of riding a bike and use them to lead a healthier and happier life.</p></p>','TOP 50 LIST: Bike Riding Benefits - NDIS Participants','','publish','open','closed','','top-50-list-bike-riding-benefits-ndis-participants','','','2023-04-10 15:46:04','2023-04-10 15:46:04','',0,'https://v2.opentrax.com.au/?p=11792',0,'post','',0),(11793,1,'2021-11-04 09:47:34','2021-11-04 09:47:34','															</p>The ability to control one\'s emotions is an important skill we all need in our lives &#x1f642;&#x1f622;&#x1f620;&#x1f92f;</p>Emotional regulation can be one of the biggest challenges for young people with various \'conditions\' or \'disabilities\', most commonly ADHD and ASD.

However, it can be difficult for people to find out about the wide range of solutions on offer. That\'s why we have our program options section available on the OpenTrax website.</p></p></p>The numerous benefits of cycling</em> </strong>are incredible. If you’re still on the fence about picking up this particular activity, then please allow me to provide you with the many reasons why cycling regularly is a great idea.</p></p></p>&nbsp;</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Quality of Life Benefits</h2></p></p>You shouldn’t be surprised that cycling regularly can be beneficial to your health. However, it may surprise you to learn just how good for your body this activity is.</p></p></p>1. Improves Your Heart Health</h3></p></p>You encourage your heart to get in gear when you ride your bike regularly. Regular exercise conditions the heart to pump blood more efficiently throughout your body. Also, since you can dictate the intensity of your exercising, there will be no need for you to push your heart. Riding with OpenTrax is so enjoyable, exciting and fun that most of the time participants forget that they are working pretty hard (relative to their level) so improving fitness and other ideal outcomes is not a grind.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>2. Strengthens Your Lungs</h3></p></p>Bike for long enough, and you should start to feel a satisfying slight burning sensation in your chest. That’s an indicator of your lungs working. Keep going at your own pace while biking in order to condition your lungs better. Your AEP will be able to instruct you as to what level is going to be most appropriate.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>&nbsp;</p></p></p>3. Increases Your Stamina</h3></p></p>Because of the positive impact biking can have on your heart and lungs, you can also expect this activity to profoundly increase your stamina level. If you found yourself getting tired after just biking for about 30 minutes or so when you first started out, that should improve as you bike more frequently. OpenTrax is an active adventure program which means that it\'s going to have participants using and developing their body, strength, endurance and many other neural and motor control capabilities...this can quickly make any of your daily activities feel like a breeze. Oh, and for all that hard work you\'re going to be doing, don’t forget to drink a lot of water!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>4. Burns Your Body Fat</h3></p></p>Cycling is a good activity to take up if you want to burn more calories regularly. With so many parts of your body in motion, you can’t help but expend those calories you have consumed. Cycling is especially effective for getting rid of belly fat, so give it a try if you’ve been trying to get rid of your excess mass there.</p></p></p>Tip: </strong>If you want to track all the calories, you are burning, map your ride, speed, elevation and other great data points. Be sure to read the article about using Strava.</em></p></blockquote></p></p></figure></p></p>5. Strengthens Muscles and Improve Functional Range Of Motion & Flexibility</h3></p></p>Many forms of exercise target only specific muscle groups. Things are different when you’re cycling because you’re engaging more muscles. All that cycling will work to strengthen the muscles and the constant motion will also improve their range of motion and your flexibility. As a part of the program, participants are also provided with a clinical exercise physiologist designed:</p></p></p>Pre-ride stretch, mobility and activation program, and</li>Home and/or gym exercise program to improve strength and endurance for rides</li></ul></p></p></figure></p></p>6. Helps Your Joints Stay Healthy</h3></p></p>Joint pain is something most people will have to deal with at some point in your life, especially when you are a senior or an older adult.  However, cycling will help delay the onset of it by a significant amount of time. Unlike running, you can control the impact on your joints by cycling, making it a significantly better option to consider. Our allied health professionals regularly see the outcomes from years of high-impact activities like running in their day-to-day rehabilitation sessions with our injury clients...we advocate for cycling as one of the best low-impact options.</p></p></p>Tip:</strong> Check out our programs</a> section to find exercise programs designed by our Clinical Exercise Physiologists - you can do them at home or gym with little or lots of equipment to</em> keep your body seriously healty and fit. If you would like a tailormade, individually designed program you can book an online initial assessment here</a> - after which your AEP will be able to provide you with a program that has an app with video demonstrations, detailed pictures and instructions, outcome & session tracking, session reminders, live chat to your AEP. </em></p></blockquote></p></p></figure></p></p>7. Exercise Without Causing Pain, Inflammation and Further Injury</h3></p></p>The ability to control the intensity level of cycling means that you don’t have to push your body to its limits. You can get a full workout in by cycling without having to deal with an aching body the day after. Sure you might be a little bit stiff, but only enough to remind yourself what a great session you\'d done the day before!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>8. Protects Against Injuries</h3></p></p>Injuries can happen with just about every kind of physical activity. With cycling though, we are able to decrease risk participants of compensatory injuries due to poor movement patterning and movements by optimizing and re-patterning motor patterns to be optimal. And, the fact that you will always be able to ride at the intensity of your choice enables you to avoid injury from pushing it too hard (which won\'t happen with an AEP around!).</p></p></p></figure></p></p>9. Improve The Richness Of Your Life</h3></p></p>People who get out into nature are happier. It\'s a fact. Just getting out amongst the trees, the birds singing and watching the wallabies hop around and koalas lazily chewing the tips of gumtrees, filling your lungs with the freshest oxygen-rich air coming straight out of the leaves, has significant benefits of their own. As humans, we have a connection to the outdoors having survived and evolved in it for millions of years - it\'s a real thing, and people who embrace this fact reap the rewards. Any of our participants will tell you why they love to get out onto the trails!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>10. Makes It Possible for People to Live Longer</h3></p></p>A study conducted by researchers at the University of Glasgow looked at how the method of commuting affected the lifespans of numerous individuals. Of the 263, 450 participants, those who commuted via cycling were the individuals who were least likely to be deceased. So, people who ride more, tend to live longer! Simple.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Disease-Preventing Benefits</h2></p></p>Cycling will do more than just improve your health. Participants that ride with OpenTrax regularly, will also improve their chances against several modern-day diseases that are tearing through the world...</p></p></p></figure></p></p>1. Improves Your Cholesterol Levels</h3></p></p>The doctor said you need to decrease your cholesterol? You\'re on so many tablets that it\'d be nice to have a few fewer? Well, riding can help with that. There are two types of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol is the one you want to reduce, while high-density lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol is the one that protects your body. By biking more, you can lower the level of LDL cholesterol in your body. That activity will also boost your HDL cholesterol levels which is what your doctor would like to see!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>2. Regulates Blood Pressure</h3></p></p>High blood pressure is an issue many people deal with as they age and even for younger people with particular medications (ADHD, ASD, Autism etc). There’s medication for it, but that alone won’t be enough. Exercising is important as well and cycling just happens to be among the forms of exercise that can seriously combat high blood pressures. Aside from lowering it, cycling also makes it easier to maintain an ideal blood pressure level. Doing even a 10-minute bout of aerobic activity can drop your BP by 10mmHg immediately afterward. We\'ll take that, thanks!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>3. Lowers the Risk for Heart Disease</h3></p></p>Considering that cycling helps with improving your cholesterol levels and regulating your blood pressure, you’ve probably already guessed that it also protects you against heart disease.</p></p></p>According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Cycling will help lower the chances that you are also victimized by that disease.</p></p></p></figure></p></p></figure></p></p>4. Fights Obesity</h3></p></p>Along with helping you burn calories and fat, cycling also boosts your rate of metabolism. All those health benefits of biking will help with the cause of you shedding the pounds. For individuals dealing with the difficulties of obesity, cycling will make it easier to get back on track.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>5. Prevents the Onset of Type 2 Diabetes</h3></p></p>It is believed that more people growing inactive is contributing to more cases of type 2 diabetes. Cycling will encourage people to get moving without tiring them out too much.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>6. Steers People Clear of Cancer</h3></p></p>To be more specific, getting on your road bike, gravel bikes, mountain bike, tandem or adaptive bike more often is expected to lower your risk for developing colon and bowel cancer. For women, this healthy habit will also reduce the risk level for breast cancer. With 1-in-2 men and 1-in-3 women experiencing some form of cancer in their life, it\'s a benefit that is worth riding for.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>7. Eliminates Certain Issues with Your Digestive System</h3></p></p>Constipation may be a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, but it can really make you feel uncomfortable. Cycling more gets the muscles inside your body moving and that will lead to more regular bowel movements. Feel less bloated, full, gassy or clogged up, go for a ride and you can drink less Metamucil.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>8. Provides a Better Way to Cope with Arthritis</h3></p></p>Arthritis can be incredibly painful and the last thing some people will want to do when they have it is to exercise. Gentle cycling provides people with a way to still get their joints moving without having to subject them to the high amounts of pressure that can cause pain. In fact, moving the joint through the range of movement required on a bike thoroughly lubricates the joint with nutrient-rich synovial fluid which encourages healing, repair, and decreases pain over time.</p></p></p>In the case of arthritis or injuries it’s extra important you use a bike that properly fits your body. Our AEP\'s can assist you with a bike size chart for this, or they can perform a proper biomechanical bike fitting on you.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>9. Reduces Fatigue</h3></p></p>Compared to other types of exercise, cycling is not as hard on your body. That is especially true if you don’t bike with great intensity. Seeing that the program is individually tailored to your personal experience, fitness, and many other factors, you will be just the right amount of tired after your rises with us.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>10. Deeper, More Restful Sleep</h3></p></p>There were rumblings not too long ago that cycling can create powerful changes for your sleep.  Research indicates that cycling more can improve the quality of our sleep through a number of different processes.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>The Mental Health Benefits</b></h2></p></p>Cycling does more than just improve the condition of your body. This activity can also offer different kinds of mental health benefits.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>1. An Ally Against Alzheimer’s Disease</b></h3></p></p>Unfortunately, there is still no known cure for Alzheimer’s Disease, but there are ways to fight against its symptoms. Staying active through cycling will help delay the symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease. Cycling will also prevent brain cells from becoming tangled. There has been a lot of research showing many positive benefits around exercise improving Alzheimer\'s disease.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>2. Lowers Your Risk Level for Developing Parkinson’s Disease</b></h3></p></p>The prospect of developing Parkinson’s Disease is understandably frightening. There is no guarantee that cycling will keep Parkinson’s Disease away from you for good, but simply carrying out that activity at a moderate or vigorous pace more frequently can decrease your risk factor. Strengthening and regularly using your neural pathways, the nutrients, and oxygen transport to the brain with powerful antioxidants can also help in keeping this disease at bay.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>3. Helps You Break Free of Addictions & Negative Behaviour Cycles</b></h3></p></p>Some people are more prone to getting addicted either to substances or to activities. Getting rid of those addictions can be a challenge, but cycling can help. The runner’s high you can obtain from cycling can take the place of your previous addiction and as long as you manage your level of activity, you can also avoid getting addicted to cycling.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>4. Alleviates Anxiety</b></h3></p></p>Anxiety disorders are quite prevalent and they can also be crippling. Aerobic exercises can help alleviate anxiety. You can bike with more intensity to get rid of anxiety faster, but even gentler cycling should help you reach a better mental state. Just like your session in this program, research has shown that regular exercise can have a significant on people\'s anxiety levels. In your 1-on-1 sessions, you will be with your friendly AEP (and if applicable your support worker/family member/carer), peace, quiet and just ride. Riding has the profound ability to literally leave your anxiety behind on the trails. Yes, please!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>5. Serves as an Anti-Depressant</b></h3></p></p>Along with alleviating your anxiety, cycling can also help you deal better with depression. Adopting a more active lifestyle will reduce your chances of developing depression. Even if you have already been diagnosed with depression, becoming more active by cycling should help improve your mental health. Some participants are able to get off their anti-depressant medications with the supervision of their doctors after they start riding regularly with us. This is fantastic because it means they save money, they no longer experience common side effects of the drugs like significant weight gain, emotional numbness, and/or suicidal thoughts.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>6. Frees You from Stress</b></h3></p></p>Living life means that you are exposing yourself to stress. You need to do what you can to reduce your stress or else it may eat you up alive. Hop on one of our premium provided \'Giant\' brand bikes and pedal the stress away.  It doesn\'t take long to get rid of the stress that has been building upon you.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>7. Lightens Up Your Mood</b></h3></p></p>Cycling aids with anxiety, depression, and stress. By virtue of being freed from those debilitating mental health impediments, you will gradually notice your mood change for the better. Participants regularly report that they have never felt better. The program is so much more than just \'going for a ride\'. It\'s an experience. With social events and group catchups, it\'s a super fun way to meet people who enjoy the same thing you do. An easy instant conversation.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>8. Boosts Your Self-Esteem</b></h3></p></p>Cycling can do so much to improve your current state of life, ranging from getting you in better shape and staving off mental health issues. Even if it is already going pretty well! You can feel like a changed person after becoming a cyclist and it’s a change for the better, one you will look back on fondly and realize that it was actually a big turning point in your life. It\'s a common occurrence.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>9. Sharpens Your Focus</b></h3></p></p>You need to properly execute a variety of tasks at the same time whenever you are riding a bike. To accomplish all those things, you have to work at building remarkable focus. The ability to focus better when you’re on top of a bike is something you can utilize when tackling other tasks in everyday activities.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>10. Ignites Your Creativity</b></h3></p></p>Aerobic exercises like cycling can work to increase your creativity. Do you enjoy music, painting, drawing, singing or something else creative? Keep a bit of energy left in the tank because after your ride, so that you can still create a masterpiece when you get home. This kind of exercise really sparks our brain\'s creativity and is such a great feeling!</p></p></p></figure></p></p></figure></p></p>The Social Benefits</h2></p></p>Even your social life can benefit immensely from taking up the habit of cycling. Listed below are some of the ways in which this activity can help improve your social life.</p></p></p>1. OpenTrax Participant Meet-Ups / Group Rides</h3></p></p>OpenTrax often creates social events for participants of different ages, with families with picnics & barbeques in Karawatha Forest Park\'s Discovery Centre Parkland. Participants can make friends through the program on group rides. All group ride participants need to have completed a number of 1-on-1 sessions with their AEP before this is possible so their skill, experience, and fitness levels can be accurately assessed.</p></p></p>2. Biking Trips with Friends</h3></p></p>When friends get together, they usually want to head somewhere special. If you and your friends are all avid riders, then all of you can hop on your bikes and discover new destinations together. We are so lucky in South East Queensland to have so many beautiful and varied landscapes and areas to ride. The council has done a pretty good job with many bike paths being rejuvenated and turned into very user-friendly paths around Brisbane. Mountain biking and road/path cycling alike have many options for participants to get out with friends for rides too.</p></p></p>3. Stronger Familial Bonds Can Be Built Through Biking</h3></p></p>Siblings may all use the same bike as they grow up. As the bicycle is passed down, that gives siblings a better chance to spend more quality time together. Not only that, often one sibling teaching another a new skill can break down barriers even if it\'s only for a little while.</p></p></p>4. Teaching Opportunities</h3></p></p>You can pass down your biking knowledge to friends, family and even potentially your own children when the time comes for them to get their own two-wheeler. Teaching someone a skill is a skill in itself and a very useful one at that. Boosting confidence, ability, and knowledge, riding with OpenTrax is often the confidence boost participants have needed.</p></p></p>5. Become a Role Model</h3></p></p>It’s important for young adults to have a role model to look up to. Habits rub off on young minds...if they are surrounded by fit, healthy, and active people, they naturally become encouraged to adopt healthier habits. By becoming part of any of our OpenTrax programs, leading a healthy lifestyle is possible and easily achievable when you have the right advice!</p></p></p></figure></p></p>The Economic Benefits</h2></p></p>Cycling can do more than just improve your health and social life. It will also help you save more money by helping trim your list of expenses.</p></p></p>1. More Affordable than a Car</h3></p></p>You may end up having to take out loans and saving money for years just to have enough money to buy a car. Bicycles are way more affordable and they can still get you around town effectively.</p></p></p>2. No Need to Spend on Fuel & Transport</h3></p></p>All you need to get your bike in motion are your legs. You can say goodbye to your worries about fuel prices by riding places. Of course, you may not be able to ride everywhere all the time but you can certainly do a lot of local trips.</p></p></p>3. Parking Expenses Greatly Reduced</h3></p></p>Whenever you’re heading out with your car, you always have to factor parking expenses into your budget. Many establishments will offer free parking for bikes. Even those that charge for bike parking are still way more affordable.</p></p></p>4. Cut Down on Exercise Expenses</h3></p></p>You will have to spend a bit of money to maintain your bike, but the cost of doing so is nothing compared to how much you may have to pay for a gym membership. Take the</p></p></p>5. Inexpensive Maintenance</h3></p></p>Compared to how much you will have to pay to get work done for a car, the cost of maintaining a bike is significantly cheaper.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>The Environmental Benefits</h2></p></p>You’ll be hard-pressed to find any mode of transportation that’s better for the environment than bikes.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>1. Reduces Your Carbon Emissions</h3></p></p>According to the EPA, a “typical passenger vehicle” produces around 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. Needless to say, bicycles don’t get anywhere close to that level.</p></p></p>2. Assists with Smog Reduction</h3></p></p>By riding your bicycle to and from work on a daily basis, you are no longer contributing to the production of smog that can be harmful to the atmosphere.</p></p></p>3. Does Not Make Use of Batteries</h3></p></p>Used-up batteries can still pose a threat to the environment when not disposed of properly. You don’t have to worry about that if you’re using a bike. An E-Bike, however? Some of these are being made with recycled batteries now which are helping the environment.</p></p></p>4. Does Not Make Use of Fossil Fuels</h3></p></p>Using a mode of transportation that is not reliant on fossil fuels is a good thing. If more cyclists emerge, mankind’s dependence on fossil fuels can be significantly reduced.</p></p></p>5. Creates a More Peaceful Environment</h3></p></p>People who live near major thoroughfares know all about how disruptive car noises can be. By cycling more often, you are doing your part to contribute to a more peaceful world - and you are finding peace within it while riding.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Other Notable Health Benefits of Cycling</h2></p></p>1. Spend Less Time in Traffic</h3></p></p>I saw a recent infographic that highlights just how costly getting bogged down in traffic can truly be. On top of that, being stuck in a car, taxi, or public transport for extended periods of time is not good for either your physical or mental well-being. Bike riders don’t have to get caught up in the issues caused by traffic.</p></p></p>2. Maximize Your Time</h3></p></p>Since cycling allows you to spend less time in traffic, you can use those extra minutes and hours completing other tasks at work, college or chores at home or just decompressing after a long day.</p></p></p>3. Easier Travel</h3></p></p>Most people have to rent cars when they are travelling to a different state or to a different country. If you know how to ride a bike, then you can just bring that along with you and use that to travel through your new location.</p></p></p>4. Gives You a Better Sense of Self</h3></p></p>Many people struggle with finding a hobby that truly resonates with them. Cycling can fill that void in your life by giving you a highly enjoyable activity you can sink numerous hours into.</p></p></p>5. Brings More Joy into Your Life</h3></p></p>After reading through all the many benefits of bike riding listed above, it’s not hyperbolic in any way to suggest that adopting this hobby can make you a happier person. If you haven’t given a try yet, then you should do so in the near future.</p></p></p></figure></p></p>Conclusion</h2></p></p>Biking truly is more than just another hobby that you can pick up to kill time. By giving cycling a larger role in your daily routine, you are improving your life in numerous ways.</p></p></p>It’s time for you to fully embrace the many health benefits of riding a bike and use them to lead a healthier and happier life.</p></p>','TOP 50 LIST: Bike Riding Benefits - NDIS Participants','','inherit','closed','closed','','11792-revision-v1','','','2023-04-10 15:46:04','2023-04-10 15:46:04','',11792,'https://v2.opentrax.com.au/?p=11794',0,'revision','',0),(11795,1,'2023-04-10 15:46:04','2023-04-10 15:46:04','															</p>The ability to control one\'s emotions is an important skill we all need in our lives &#x1f642;&#x1f622;&#x1f620;&#x1f92f;</p>Emotional regulation can be one of the biggest challenges for young people with various \'conditions\' or \'disabilities\', most commonly ADHD and ASD.

RIDES© is a flexible adventure therapy program for all ages tailored to each participant’s goals, wants and needs. Designed and run by experienced Accredited Exercise Physiologists means that this program continues to achieve significant, lasting, positive changes to participants’ lives, becoming hugely popular in a short amount of time.</p>We perform comprehensive initial assessments to attain participants’ current experience, skill, confidence level and medical and other relevant information. Our AEP’s then build a suitable home or gym-based exercise program (including ride technique, ride sessions, mobility, pre-activation, strength and endurance work) to achieve participant goals. Our AEP’s drive to participants’ homes or meet at agreed locations to deliver the ongoing program.</p>OpentraX provides competition grade mountain bikes for participants that are unable to provide their own for use during sessions. These are standard 2-wheel mountain bikes with Adaptive and E-Assist bikes to be implemented in the future for participants. The program currently requires participants to be able to ‘ride a 2-wheeled bicycle unassisted for at least 30 metres’ and requires verbal communication for safety.</p>Disabilities and conditions of participants within the program are generally combinations of ADHD, ASD, Early Onset Dementia, ABI’s, Mental Health (Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder etc). While experience working with a disability is not a requirement, personal background or work experience within disability would help applicants.</p>Participants feel like they are ‘just going for a nice enjoyable ride!’, meanwhile significant calculated, measurable improvements and changes are taking place in the participants’ mind, body and spirit – quantifiable through our assessments.

Candidates require mountain-bike specific experience, ability and skills. Auscycling or MTB Aus course L0 and or L1 is highly beneficial.</p>How To Apply</h2>																	[gravityform id=\"4\" title=\"true\"]</p>The Program</h2>We encourage participants to ‘Grab Life By The Handlebars’ with our RIDES© program, specifically designed for NDIS participants, was started by an Accredited Clinical Exercise Physiologist who grew up amidst disability within his own immediate family. RIDES© is a flexible adventure therapy program for all ages tailored to each participant’s goals, wants and needs. Designed and run by experienced Accredited Exercise Physiologists means that this program continues to achieve significant, lasting, positive changes to participants’ lives, becoming hugely popular in a short amount of time.</p>We perform comprehensive initial assessments to attain participants’ current experience, skill, confidence level and medical and other relevant information. Our AEP’s then build a suitable home or gym-based exercise program (including ride technique, ride sessions, mobility, pre-activation, strength and endurance work) to achieve participant goals. Our AEP’s drive to participants’ homes or meet at agreed locations to deliver the ongoing program.</p>OpentraX provides competition grade mountain bikes for participants that are unable to provide their own for use during sessions. These are standard 2-wheel mountain bikes with Adaptive and E-Assist bikes to be implemented in the future for participants. The program currently requires participants to be able to ‘ride a 2-wheeled bicycle unassisted for at least 30 metres’ and requires verbal communication for safety.</p>Disabilities and conditions of participants within the program are generally combinations of ADHD, ASD, Early Onset Dementia, ABI’s, Mental Health (Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder etc). While experience working with a disability is not a requirement, personal background or work experience within disability would help applicants.</p>Participants feel like they are ‘just going for a nice enjoyable ride!’, meanwhile significant calculated, measurable improvements and changes are taking place in the participants’ mind, body and spirit – quantifiable through our assessments. Our AEP’s coach participants on important lifelong skills around the importance of and how to implement mobility, activation and resistance training to further enrich their lives and reach their goals, further enhanced by the social connections participants are able to make through group sessions.</p>Program Director, Chris spent years running multiple clinics and realised that there was an opportunity to provide a better-allied health care model. Our practitioners have a small capped number of clients, who are able to work very hard to achieve significant positive outcomes.</p>Each AEP has a capped maximum client load ensuring a balance between face-to-face client time and home office time spent behind the scenes writing programs, researching the best evidence-based practices for new or changing conditions.</p>The Organisation</h2>At OpentraX, we utilise unique generally outside-the-box activities to enrich people’s lives, completely changing how health care is delivered. OpentraX provides exceptional mobile allied health and therapeutic support services throughout South East Queensland. Our practitioners currently focus on using cycling, mountain biking, hiking and outdoor activity as a modality to deliver these critical services.</p>We deliver adventure-based sessions for NDIS participants from ages 4+ years old. Our practitioners work tirelessly to ensure that every participant gets the opportunity to achieve their full potential through a tailor-made service specific to each participant’s goals.</p>New graduates are encouraged to apply.</p>															</p>','Social-traX© Group Ride Practitioner Position | Accredited Exercise Physiologist','As an OpentraX NDIS Adventure Therapy Practitioner, you will be responsible for planning and leading outdoor adventure activities and programs for NDIS participants.

The activity develops strength, fitness and stamina, and is a great way to get younger people involved and enjoy physical activity while building strong foundations in a number of important developmental areas.Children can start mountain biking as soon as they can pedal on a bike, from as early as 3 years old. At OpentraX we start working with children as young as 6 years old. Stamina and physical strength are not required to master the fundamental skills of mountain biking. All these can be taught and practised in a safe, friendly, social environment, using teaching aids we designed especially for this purpose. Keeping it fun, games-based and enjoyable keeps engagement high.Our programs for kids focus on eye-body coordination, balance, MTB specific skills, as well as social skills (dialogue with coaches and peers, mutual help, praise, games, friendly contests, etc).Often creative approaches are needed to overcome a few unique challenges with young kids. Occasionally, complex mountain biking skills cannot easily be described in words, concentration and attention that reasonably cannot be expected from very young kids so we adapt how we get important information across.</p>','Kids in OpentraX RIDES© Programs','Many parents often believe that mountain biking is more of a teenage or adult sport, ruling it out as an option for their child.

Riding your bike won’t protect you against injury, ensure good full-body condition, or guard you against developing physical imbalances.</p>Of course, you want to spend as much time as possible riding your bike</a>, but a little time in the gym — or working out at home — is well worth the small investment of time that it costs. Small changes</a> regularly become big!</p>Inconspicuous pain, tightness and discomfort at the start or end of a ride can be easily ignored and managed by subtle compensations. In time, however, biomechanic inefficiencies reveal themselves and impact not only cycling, but also functional activities in daily life. These can often be helped significantly by the practitioners prescription of your Home Exercise Program (HEP).</p>The most common sites of pain in cyclists that we see are low backs, hips, knees and necks. While not always a major source of pain, a limitation in hip mobility is often the underlying cause of cycling injuries. After all, the hips are the driving force when riding, so discrepancies between right and left hips can lead to problems elsewhere in the body and put excess stress on neighbouring joints of the knees and low back.</p>In addition, a stiff&nbsp;thoracic spine</a>—the large section of the spine from the base of the ribcage to the tops of the shoulder blades—can result in discomfort in the shoulders and neck when riding.</p>Why do cyclists need to do off-the-bike conditioning?</strong></p>Cycling is predominantly one motion — pedalling — with a limited range of movement, using the same muscles repeatedly. This can lead to imbalances. Riders assume they&nbsp;can cycle their way to fitness, but it’s not fitness in the holistic sense. If you don’t address imbalances with exercises and conditioning, your injury risk increases.</p>What are the most common issues in cyclists?</strong></p>Generally, it’s tightness and stiffness, particularly for cyclists who sit a lot and have desk jobs — they’re always sitting, either on a bike or at their desk. While seated, the hip is in its shortest position, the hip flexors aren’t working, meaning they can get really tight, same for the hamstrings.</p>As a martial artist, you need flexibility, but is it really important for cyclists?</strong></p>It’s true that the range of motion needed in cycling is relatively limited. But what you need to look at is how a lack of flexibility will impact your biomechanics.</p>If you’re particularly tight in one area, it’ll have a knock-on effect in another area, which can make you susceptible to injury. Having poor flexibility also hampers your ability to hold an aerodynamic riding position.</p>Most people treasure their time. How do you convince them that this type of workout is really worthwhile?</strong></p>Prevention is better than cure. A little time invested regularly means you’ll avoid time off the bike with injuries. What’s more, you need a strong core for stability — in order to transfer power efficiently to the pedals. To really develop that strength, you need to isolate certain muscles and develop them specifically.</p>The mobility exercises and stretches can help prevent injury and keep you healthy this riding season and many more to come. Chances are that you’re riding earlier in the morning or later in the day as it cools off, and you have not been moving much prior to the ride.</p>Unless you sleepwalk and perform hip flexor stretching in the middle of the night, I’d recommend performing at least 2-3 of the following mobility exercises before hopping on the bike</strong>. Put down the phone and/or computer and do your joints and soft tissues a favor with a 10-minute mobility session while drinking a cup of coffee (if well hydrated) or water (if not) before your ride.</p>In general, you want to focus on&nbsp;hips and thoracic spine</strong>; picking one exercise from each category is a quick and easy way to warm up before you hop in the saddle.</p>The stretches are all dynamic, not static, as you need to prepare your body for movement. As such, stretching should be mobile, moving in and out of the stretch to hydrate tissues and improve joint mobility.</p>Hip Mobility:</strong></p>Hip Flexor and Quad Stretching:</strong> In a kneeling lunge position, reach up and overhead as you move your hips forward and back 10 times. If there’s one thing you can do daily, this is it!</li>Offset Child’s Pose:</strong> On all fours, with your right knee ahead of your left, move your hips back to your heels 10 times. Repeat to the other side.</li>Deep Squat:</strong>&nbsp;This can be difficult, but in time will improve. You might need to support yourself by holding onto something as you drop down into a squat, butt towards the ground. Once in position, take 5 deep breaths expanding the ribcage and low back.</li>Posterior Lunges:</strong> Step back with your right leg, keeping the left forward. Repeat to the other side.</li></ul>Thoracic Spine Mobility:</strong></p>Doorway Stretch:</strong> Put your forearms in a doorway, lean into the stretch to open up chest while tucking chin.</li>T-Spine Mobility:</strong> On all fours, lean back into child’s pose while straightening your right arm forward. Take your left hand and move it to the right, under your chest. Repeat to the other side.</li></ul>A Few Other Things To Remember:</strong></p>Form:&nbsp;</strong>At the start of the ride, think tall spine, relaxed shoulders. Keeping yours eyes on the road (obviously), draw your chin back as if making a double chin. Maintain a nice high cadence and smooth pedal stroke, knowing that at some point you’ll probably go down into your drops or aero bars for harder race efforts. I find initiating the ride with good form carries over to times when you have to hammer in a more flexed position.</li>Foam Rolling:</strong>&nbsp;Most of us have a love/hate relationship with the foam roller. Trust me. It will help. Focus on the quads and thoracic spine to loosen up muscles before the ride and for recovery after.</li>Strength Training:</strong> After your weekend-long rides, if you have time, I recommend doing some squats, lunges and planks. A quick strength session, 20-30 minutes, can help improve power at the end of a ride when it’s most important. I find that it equalizes mobility in the joints and tissues as we tend to favour a stronger, less fatigued side of the body as the hours in the saddle go on. Your body will thank you for the next morning.</li></ul></p>Many parents often believe that mountain biking is more of a teenage or adult sport, ruling it out as an option for their child.

I did a bit of research and was impressed with the programs that they offered.</p>\"I talked to Chris, a lovely man from OpenTrax, who answered my many questions and gave me much needed reassurance. He explained that he had been a high school PE teacher and had a lot of experience with Outdoor Education centres before becoming an Exercise Physiologist\", Jan said.</p>\"I felt much better about him going out and doing something so \'out-there\' if it was going to be with qualified OpenTrax Physiologists (AEP\'s). I had seen one before for my knee problems before and loved their professionalism and knowledge. Knowing AEP\'s run the program put my safety concerns and other worries about the people taking him riding to rest.\"</p>\"We applied, waited for a few days, he was accepted into the program on Monday and had his first face-to-face session booked for Wednesday\", she said.</p>\"\'It\'s been a few months since he started and he has taken to it all like a duck to water.

Having that shared experience of being a part of the same program doing the same activity seems to break the ice and make it easier to strike up a conversation,” Janet said.</p>His love of the great outdoors has also seen Tyler take up photography...and he isn\'t half bad!</p>“Tyler\'s AEP comes out at 6 am. They went out for two and a half hours along the waterfront at Manly to ride and take photos; they have even ridden to Redcliffe too,” she said.</p>“Tyler uses a professional computer program for photo editing and he is saving up to buy his own camera with his own funds soon; a hobby he never would have thought of without the NDIS or having such beautiful scenery to document. He has snapped a few great shots of the wildlife in Karawatha with a background of the sun rising”.</p>The fact that the OpenTrax staff are so committed to seeing the people they work with improve, has helped both Tyler and Janet to see a direct correlation with Tyler\'s improvements since starting.</p>\"The OpenTrax programs are something I\'d definitely recommend to anyone who wants to experience plenty of adventure at their own pace, not being rushed or pushed into anything you don\'t want to do\", says Tyler.</p>\"It was very eye-opening for me to see how much I had improved over time.\"</p>Program director, Chris Higgins explains why they measure and track outcomes, \"Think of it a bit like losing weight...It\'s not always easy to see your improvement because the changes are small and incremental and you see, feel and experience these all day, every day. It\'s hard to detect that small amount of constant change.</p>We can look at the data and show someone that they are improving, and by how much. It\'s fantastic to be able to show participants, parents, and carers exactly how much someone is improving in their fitness, strength, mental health, anxiety, symptom flare-ups, and so many more aspects.\"</p>\"Not only does the data show the participant that what we are doing is measurably improving their lives and it certainly makes securing a participant\'s next round of funding significantly easier. When you can show the NDIS that you\'ve used \'X\' amount of funding and it has directly led to \'Y\' results, they look it as money well spent and it then becomes an investment that they are willing to make again.\"</p>\"There are plenty of people out there that offer \'Mountain Biking\' and other outdoor activities for NDIS participants...unfortunately most of them are unqualified, uninsured, have no formal training about different disabilities or the contraindications that someone\'s conditions, medications or physical and mental state factor into the equation. It can go wrong very quickly when a provider doesn\'t know what their doing, has not planned everything out, done their risk assessments or have numerous safety processes in place. I\'ve seen it happen, it doesn\'t end well. You\'re better off with a qualified allied health professional who are held to very high professional standards by their governing medical association and Medicare, even if it\'s not with Evolution Allied Health as we usually run at max capacity, I\'d recommend that people stick with allied health professionals.\"</p>Answering the questions about a range of different areas gives a very accurate idea of how improvement and outcomes are tracking\"</p>“He used to play when he was at school but since his left hand is hard to use since his stroke, he\'s needed the NDIS supports to help him re-engage with activities again, and it’s been like a kind of therapy for him.”</p>Before his stroke, Tyler was studying Engineering at university and is hopeful of going back to studying again soon.</p>“Tyler is planning on undertaking more studying to enable him to use his knowledge and experience to create adaptive equipment solutions for people with disabilities in the future.”</p>Tyler received assistance to apply for and implement his NDIS funding from one of the recommended OpenTrax NDIS Local Area Partners in the Community Program for the Brisbane region.</p>Janet said when Tyler\'s Local Area Coordinator (LAC) explained what the NDIS could do for him, she cried.</p>“Before all this, Tyler was staying at home, with an undesirable future ahead of him, because of his disability; but thanks to OpenTrax and what they do there, now he has all these fantastic strategies in place and his progress speaks for itself,” she said.</p>“He is going out with friends, playing basketball and going to Bribie for breakfast with friends that he\'s met through the programs.</p>“Tyler has many positives in his life now.

He has snapped a few great shots of the wildlife in Karawatha with a background of the sun rising”.</p>The fact that the OpenTrax staff are so committed to seeing the people they work with improve, has helped both Tyler and Janet to see a direct correlation with Tyler\'s improvements since starting.</p>\"The OpenTrax programs are something I\'d definitely recommend to anyone who wants to experience plenty of adventure at their own pace, not being rushed or pushed into anything you don\'t want to do\", says Tyler.</p>\"It was very eye-opening for me to see how much I had improved over time.\"</p>Program director, Chris Higgins explains why they measure and track outcomes, \"Think of it a bit like losing weight...It\'s not always easy to see your improvement because the changes are small and incremental and you see, feel and experience these all day, every day. It\'s hard to detect that small amount of constant change.</p>We can look at the data and show someone that they are improving, and by how much. It\'s fantastic to be able to show participants, parents, and carers exactly how much someone is improving in their fitness, strength, mental health, anxiety, symptom flare-ups, and so many more aspects.\"</p>\"Not only does the data show the participant that what we are doing is measurably improving their lives and it certainly makes securing a participant\'s next round of funding significantly easier. When you can show the NDIS that you\'ve used \'X\' amount of funding and it has directly led to \'Y\' results, they look it as money well spent and it then becomes an investment that they are willing to make again.\"</p>\"There are plenty of people out there that offer \'Mountain Biking\' and other outdoor activities for NDIS participants...unfortunately most of them are unqualified, uninsured, have no formal training about different disabilities or the contraindications that someone\'s conditions, medications or physical and mental state factor into the equation. It can go wrong very quickly when a provider doesn\'t know what their doing, has not planned everything out, done their risk assessments or have numerous safety processes in place. I\'ve seen it happen, it doesn\'t end well. You\'re better off with a qualified allied health professional who are held to very high professional standards by their governing medical association and Medicare, even if it\'s not with Evolution Allied Health as we usually run at max capacity, I\'d recommend that people stick with allied health professionals.\"</p>Answering the questions about a range of different areas gives a very accurate idea of how improvement and outcomes are tracking\"</p>“He used to play when he was at school but since his left hand is hard to use since his stroke, he\'s needed the NDIS supports to help him re-engage with activities again, and it’s been like a kind of therapy for him.”</p>Before his stroke, Tyler was studying Engineering at university and is hopeful of going back to studying again soon.</p>“Tyler is planning on undertaking more studying to enable him to use his knowledge and experience to create adaptive equipment solutions for people with disabilities in the future.”</p>Tyler received assistance to apply for and implement his NDIS funding from one of the recommended OpenTrax NDIS Local Area Partners in the Community Program for the Brisbane region.</p>Janet said when Tyler\'s Local Area Coordinator (LAC) explained what the NDIS could do for him, she cried.</p>“Before all this, Tyler was staying at home, with an undesirable future ahead of him, because of his disability; but thanks to OpenTrax and what they do there, now he has all these fantastic strategies in place and his progress speaks for itself,” she said.</p>“He is going out with friends, playing basketball and going to Bribie for breakfast with friends that he\'s met through the programs.</p>“Tyler has many positives in his life now. He\'s now able to live the life he wanted!”</p>OpenTrax can support you with our many programs.
