Scientific Abstract
SiFAr-Stress investigates the impact of cycling on stress level in older adults. Uncertainty due to change to motorized bicycle or fear of falling can be perceived as stressors for cyclists. Stress activates different physiological signal cascades and stimulate for their part low-grade inflammation, which in the long-term can be associated with negative health outcomes. The aim is to analyse inflammatory processes as well as the activity of stress systems.
