There is hardly anything more beautiful than&nbsp;clocking up some kilometres&nbsp;in bright sunshine under a blue sky.&nbsp;The sun also&nbsp;supports our health and fitness, because its&nbsp;UVB rays&nbsp;are essential for our&nbsp;organism&nbsp;to&nbsp;produce the vital vitamin D.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But too much&nbsp;\u201csolar power\u201d may have&nbsp;considerable side effects&nbsp;\u2013 immediate&nbsp;sunburn,&nbsp;medium-term premature skin aging and skin cancer&nbsp;in the long run. A veritable sunburn&nbsp;is comparable&nbsp;to an injury or inflammation which the organism fights against with all means and&nbsp;whose healing consumes energy.&nbsp;As a consequence, the athletic performance suffers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially outdoor athletes like road&nbsp;cyclists should therefore attach great importance to good&nbsp;sun&nbsp;protection so that training and&nbsp;touring&nbsp;in the sun do not have any after-effects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before applying sunscreen for the first time, you should find out about the current UV index and your personal skin type.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;is&nbsp;quite&nbsp;simple.&nbsp;You\u2019ll get information on the&nbsp;UV index&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;(German)&nbsp;Meteorological Service&nbsp;and there are guidelines for determining&nbsp;your&nbsp;skin type.&nbsp;Those two factors plus&nbsp;the planned duration of your&nbsp;outdoor stay will help you choose the&nbsp;right sunscreen product.&nbsp;It is supposed to&nbsp;extend&nbsp;the time your&nbsp;skin&#8217;s&nbsp;protected against the sun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sun protection factor depends on your skin type.&nbsp;Light skin, e.g.,&nbsp;will only protect&nbsp;you from the sun&nbsp;for an estimated 10 minutes before it&nbsp;gets sunburnt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use sunscreen with&nbsp;sun protection factor 15 on it,&nbsp;you\u2019ll increase the time&nbsp;in which you could theoretically be exposed to the sun by a factor of 15, i.e.&nbsp;to 150 minutes. However, these are&nbsp;just&nbsp;numbers&nbsp;games, as in these&nbsp;calculations and tests&nbsp;sunscrren&nbsp;is&nbsp;applied thickly and&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;smeared&nbsp;or diluted by sweat and clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to be on the safe side, halve the theoretical value and use sun protection with a sun protection factor of more than 20.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for sun protection&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Dr. med. Christoph&nbsp;Abels, dermatologist and Medical Director at Dr. August Wolff, gives valuable tips on how&nbsp;road&nbsp;cyclists can protect themselves from the sun:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trust&nbsp;experts:&nbsp;<\/strong>Meanwhile,&nbsp;there are special products&nbsp;available&nbsp;that are not only waterproof but also sweat-resistant. &#8220;Furthermore, they should be absorbed quickly and, if possible, leave no white&nbsp;marks&nbsp;or a greasy film on the skin,&#8221; says&nbsp;professor&nbsp;Abels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The more, the better: <\/strong>A typical mistake is to use&nbsp;too little&nbsp;gel, lotion or&nbsp;cream.&nbsp;The skin must be properly&nbsp;covered. Especially if the sunscreen is &#8220;wiped away&#8221; by clothing, movement or sweat. It is important to re-apply&nbsp;sunscreen&nbsp;every now and then. However, the total amount of time you can be exposed to the sun is not prolonged by re-applying&nbsp;sunscreen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Apply underneath&nbsp;the jersey:<\/strong> Fabric does not always protect&nbsp;you&nbsp;against dangerous UV radiation. &#8220;Thin&nbsp;summer&nbsp;jerseys are better ventilated but can also be very UV-permeable. If the manufacturer doesn&#8217;t particularly point out UV protection, athletes should always apply sunscreen underneath&nbsp;the jersey,&#8221; says&nbsp;Abels. That&#8217;s why pro&nbsp;riders&nbsp;use sunscreen even underneath&nbsp;thin race&nbsp;jerseys or summer jerseys&nbsp;with large mesh inserts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thin air and&nbsp;heavy&nbsp;radiation: <\/strong>In the mountains, the air layer that protects&nbsp;you&nbsp;against UV&nbsp;radiation&nbsp;decreases more and more the higher&nbsp;a road&nbsp;cyclist gets. According to studies, UV radiation increases&nbsp;by 15-20 percent per 1,000 meters of altitude difference.&nbsp;Abels&nbsp;advises: &#8220;Even&nbsp;when the sky is overcast, you should&nbsp;apply sunscreen, because even under these conditions UV radiation is so high that it can cause sunburn&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First aid:<\/strong> In case of sunburn, cyclists should avoid the sun and place moist compresses on the affected skin areas,&nbsp;Abels&nbsp;recommends.&nbsp;Be aware that&nbsp;&#8220;Not only sunburn, which is an acute tissue damage, is problematic. Chronic UV-induced&nbsp;photo&nbsp;damage can also change cells in the long term and&nbsp;cause&nbsp;skin cancer,&#8221;&nbsp;says&nbsp;Abels.&nbsp;Photo&nbsp;damage&nbsp;prevents&nbsp;cells&nbsp;from classic recovery by the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sexy knee: <\/strong>In addition to the neck, back of the foot, shoulders, ears and scalp, the back of the knee is one of the most&nbsp;sun-exposed areas&nbsp;of your body&nbsp;on a&nbsp;road&nbsp;bike.&nbsp;&#8220;These areas are partly very&nbsp;sun sensitive&nbsp;since they are otherwise&nbsp;hardly ever exposed to it,&#8221; says&nbsp;Abels&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Road cycling in the sun!
