Common Questions from Cyclists

Why is bone health monitoring crucial for cyclists?

Studies show that up to 66% of competitive cyclists may have lower bone density compared to other athletes. Regular DEXA scans help monitor this critical health marker, allowing you to make informed decisions about cross-training and nutrition.

How often should cyclists get DEXA scans?

We recommend scanning every 8-12 weeks during training seasons, with special attention to bone density trends. More frequent monitoring may be advised for cyclists with existing low bone density or those training at high volumes.

Can DEXA scans help with weight management for cycling?

Absolutely! DEXA provides precise measurements of muscle mass and body fat, allowing for strategic weight management that preserves both muscle and bone density while improving power-to-weight ratio.

How does DEXA help prevent cycling-specific injuries?

By tracking bone density alongside muscle mass, DEXA scans can identify early signs of bone loss, helping prevent stress fractures and other bone-related injuries common in cycling. This data enables you to adjust training and nutrition strategies proactively.

How can DEXA scans help with nutrition and energy balance?

DEXA scans provide precise measurements of your body composition and energy needs. This helps prevent under-fueling - a common issue in cycling that can lead to reduced performance, bone density loss, and metabolic issues. Our data helps you optimize your caloric intake to match your training demands.

Riley P.Los Angeles, CA

I've been working out & eating on a calorie deficit, but my scan showed I was actually burning muscle (not fat). A few changes to my diet made a HUGE difference!
