First of all, it should be clear that knee pads are only an auxiliary tool. If your knees are normal, you don't need to wear them. Because to protect your knees, the most important thing is to rely on your own muscle strength.
For general sports knee pads, it is not recommended to wear them for a long time. In addition, long-term wearing is not only detrimental to the normal function of muscles around the knee joint, but also makes the body more dependent on the support of knee pads.
It is generally recommended that the wearing time of knee pads should not exceed 1 hour. If you want to exercise for a long time, you must take it off halfway and rest for about 10 minutes. When resting and sleeping, you must not wear knee pads, because this is not conducive to the recovery of the knee joint.
How to choose knee pads:
The type of protective equipment depends on the severity of the injury. If the knee joint is seriously injured, you need to choose rehabilitation kneepads, and choose the appropriate models and corresponding functions according to your own situation. For those who have slight knee joint injury or have been injured before, in order to prevent knee joint injury again, you can choose sports knee pads.
There are three common sports kneepads:
1, fully wrapped warm kneepad: This kneepad is suitable for people who need to keep their joints warm.
2. Opening kneepad: This kneepad is designed with an opening at the position of the bone. The purpose of this is to strengthen the fixation of bones and reduce the friction caused by exercise. Some sports with high knee joint mobility are also suitable for wearing this kind of kneepad.
3. Hip compression belt: This protector is belt-shaped and is used to fix the tendon under the bone.
