Are knee pads really useful?

Knee pads have three functions, one is braking, and the other is heat preservation. Not much to say about keeping warm, the knee is very easy to catch cold, and many knee diseases are related to the cold of the knee, especially in mountainous areas, where the mountain wind is very cold and hard, and the leg muscles often feel very hot because they have been exercising, while the knee is not hot because there is no muscle movement. When people feel comfortable cooling their legs, their knees actually catch cold. At this time, if they wear knee pads, the thermal insulation function of the knee pads can be reflected.

Mainly talk about the braking function of knee pads. Knee joint is the intersection of thigh bone and calf bone, with meniscus in the middle and patella in front. The patella is stretched by two muscles and suspended in front of the intersection of leg bones, so it is very easy to slide. In normal life, the patella can move normally in a small range because it is not affected by external forces and does not exercise vigorously. Due to the excessive pressure on the knee in mountaineering and the strenuous exercise in mountaineering, it is easy to pull the patella away from its original position, thus causing knee joint diseases. Wearing knee pads can fix the patella in a relatively stable position and ensure that it is not easy to be injured. What is mentioned above is the gentle braking effect of the knee pad without injury to the knee joint. After the knee joint is injured, the knee pad with heavy braking can reduce the knee bending, keep it in a straight line from thigh to calf, and reduce the knee bending, thus protecting the knee joint from aggravating the disease.

1. Knee pads are flexible to wear, and the advantage of putting them inside is good stability, which can play the role of "braking" to the greatest extent; The advantage of using it outside is that it is easy to wear and adjust, but the braking performance will be reduced. Usually, when the environmental changes are not obvious and it is not necessary to adjust or remove the knee pads at any time, it is best to put them inside, and vice versa.

2. Ordinary sports don't need kneepads. Because ordinary knee pads usually have the function of keeping warm, and after wearing them, they will form a certain pressure on the patella in front of the knee, which will affect the exercise effect.

Knee pads should also be worn outdoors for a short distance. Rome was not built in a day. After walking and cycling for a long time, the knee will still get sick. Therefore, protect your knee joint from 0 km. If the knee joint is sick, it will be too late to wear knee pads.

4. Wear knee pads in summer, especially when riding. The temperature is high in summer, and the skin pores expand much more than in winter. If you don't wear knee pads, the knee joint is more vulnerable to the impact of high-speed wind and has a greater chance of getting sick.

5. You don't have to choose a knee pad with special function, because the stronger the knee pad, the better the protection and support effect, the greater the impact on the exercise effect, and the effect of using muscles for a long time will be greatly reduced.

6. Most people don't need professional knee pads. Professional knee pads are generally used by people with knee injuries. Because of the knee injury, lack of strength. When exercising, they need to protect their knees with the help of reinforcing strips on both sides. The most fundamental thing is to exercise regularly, increase muscle strength, equip yourself with a scientific and reasonable load, and keep your movements reasonable in activities.

To protect knees, the most fundamental thing is to exercise regularly, increase muscle strength, equip yourself with a scientific and reasonable load, keep reasonable movements during activities, and use knee pads when necessary, so as to make knee pads play their greatest role.
