In outdoor activities, if a person can protect his knees, it does not depend on how many mountain climbing experiences you have, or whether you are an old donkey or a new donkey, but rather how much knowledge you know about protecting your knees, and whether you respect scientific knowledge. And correspondingly stricter self-discipline.
Scientific mountaineering is accomplished by the muscles of the thighs and calves, as well as the ligaments, and the periosteum of the knee. The periosteal of the knee is the last line of defense. The strength of these muscles and ligaments is produced through long-term, step-by-step exercises, not congenital.
Therefore, when hiking long distances or carrying weight, please use trekking poles. A single stick is easy to cause uneven force on the legs, which makes the muscle strain of the legs different, and it will cause damage. If you are used to a single stick, please try to use it as much as possible. One more thing to keep in mind: if the periosteum is damaged, it cannot be repaired.
The doctor's point is to avoid using knee braces as much as possible, because no one wears that gadget at the Olympic Games, even if it is worn with pain. If you need to rely on knee pads to participate in outdoor sports, it is recommended not to travel well, it is better to wear it at home, raise joints, cultivate after a few months before traveling.
Except for dangerous sports such as ice skating and rock climbing that damage the knee, most sports do not need to wear knee pads. There is also a case where knee pads are used when the knee is maintained after the knee is injured. A pair of healthy knees, if you wear a pair of knee pads when running, it will have the opposite effect.
Reasons for not wearing knee pads:
The function of the knee brace is to help fix the joints and allow the joint head to move on a fixed track as much as possible. Therefore, the knee brace is only a supplement to the function of the muscles and ligaments. It only plays a role when they cannot function normally.
