A new study from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Verona confirms what many of us already feel when we get on our bikes outdoors: nature does something special to both body and mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n The study asked participants to walk at the same pace in three environments – nature, city and gym – while researchers measured mood, stress and physical strain. The results were striking: <\/p>\n \ud83c\udf3f Participants had lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol<\/strong> after exercising in nature. The researchers also found that the body recovers faster after activity in nature – the heart calms down faster and the nervous system activates the processes that create balance and well-being. For those of us who love cycling, the conclusion is obvious: It’s health, happiness and energy – wrapped in pure nature.<\/p>\n So maybe it’s time to swap one of your weekly indoor workouts for a trip outdoors? #CopenhagenBikeShow #Cycling #Health #OutdoorMotion #MentalHealth #GreenLifestyle #University of Copenhagen #NatureIsMedicine<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kategori-MTB.png” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/science.ku.dk\/presse\/nyheder\/2025\/motion-i-naturen-er-byen-og-fitnesscenteret-overlegen” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Read more” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New studie\ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29077,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1066],"tags":[1412,1425,1424],"ug_messe":[1407],"layouts":[458,461],"class_list":["post-29084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-copenhagen-bike-show-en","tag-cphbikeshow-en","tag-cycling","tag-nature","layouts-cbs-menu-og-footer","layouts-headeroverskrift"],"acf":{"oversigt_divi_modul":false,"oversigt":false,"overskrift_oversigt_en":"","udstilling_kommentar":[1407],"filterquery_kommentar":"udvalgte","filterquery":"","kommentarer_rute":false,"visning":"element_presentation_list","bredde_logo_listevisning":"150|125|100","kommentarer_janej":false,"bredde_kommentar":"50|50|100","overskrift_kommentarer_janej":false,"overskrift_kommentar":"","vaelg_udstillere_moduler":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29084"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29086,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29084\/revisions\/29086"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29084"},{"taxonomy":"ug_messe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ug_messe?post=29084"},{"taxonomy":"layouts","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nordicbikeshows.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/layouts?post=29084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\ud83d\ude0a They felt happier, more relaxed and less tired<\/strong>.
\ud83d\udc9a And they were significantly more likely to repeat the activity<\/strong> in nature than in the city or indoors.<\/p>\n
In short: Nature boosts both physical and mental health.<\/p>\n
When you choose the bike and head out into the countryside, you get much more than exercise. You get a break from the pace of everyday life<\/strong>, fresh air in your lungs and a mood that rises with every pedal stroke. <\/p>\n
Your body – and your head – will thank you for it \ud83c\udf33\ud83d\udeb4\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n
