Cycling and running will hurt your knees, which is bigger?

If our body proportion is well-proportioned or our weight is not overweight, exercise will not cause too much damage to our knees. However, if we are obviously overweight, running will do more harm to our knees than riding a bike. Being overweight may put a lot of pressure on our knees and increase the wear between them. If we persist in this way for a long time, our kneecaps will be greatly damaged. But riding a bike won't be like this, because riding a bike mainly focuses our body's pressure on the bike, so that our knees will relax a lot. However, if we want to exercise by running, we can also alleviate the knee injury caused by running in the following ways:

1, do enough exercise before running.

First of all, we can do some exercise before running, so that the joints of the body can enter the adaptive state in advance, which can greatly reduce the damage of exercise to our joints. As for the specific activities, we can do whatever we want, as long as we can ensure that our joints can achieve the purpose of activities. If you really don't know how to do it, you can do the stretching exercise you learned at school.

2. Bring some protective equipment.

When we are running, if we are afraid of hurting our knees, we can also solve it through some wearable devices, such as buying some knee pads with better quality, which can protect our knees well. However, it should be noted here that when choosing to breathe, try to buy those big brands with better quality, because inferior products can't protect our views.

3. Reduce running time

Running hurts your knees because of the wear and tear caused by running for a long time. Therefore, if we are overweight, we can try to reduce some running time every day, and then slowly increase the running time after we gradually lose weight, which can greatly reduce the injury of running to our knees.
