Also the cross country cyclists can have stenosis of the artery in the pelvis (iliac artery stenosis) due to the position of cyclist during racing for huores, esp. those who starts cycling in early age and for long time . Another problem sometimes face the marathon runners , is the bloody diarrheas before or after racing , which was explained by the fact that during long running , the blood is mostly directed to the muscles on the expense of the intestine, which receive only 20% of the amount on her blood during vigorous exercises ,this makes ulceration of the intestine which give the bloody diarrhea. professor Mahmuod Salah emphasized that there is no definite way for prophylaxis, yet the key of success is the early diagnosis , ignore the wrong impression that arterial diseases are only for the old sick people .
