Biking Doesn’t Impair Male Reproduction

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Biking Doesn’t Impair Male Reproduction By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs When Miguel Indurain won the Tour de France five times from 1991 to 1995, he may not have had fatherhood on his mind. But his two sons, Miguel and Jon, born shortly after his last victory, seem to validate a study debunking the often-reported damage that cycling can do to a man's reproductive and urinary systems. The study, which appeared in the Journal of Urology, included 2,774 recreational and intense cyclists, 539 swimmers, and 789 runners. Special: [World's Most Anti-Inflammatory Food?]( High-intensity cyclists had been pedaling more than two years, more than three times per week, averaging more than 25 miles daily; the low-intensity group met none of those criteria. The researchers gathered participants' responses to a variety of health assessments and surveys, as well as questions about urinary tract infections, urethral strictures, genital numbness, and saddle sores. Cyclist generally had the same sexual and urinary health as swimmers and runners, and high-intensity cyclists scored better on erectile function than did low-intensity cyclists.
