Secondly, look at the purpose of your purchase of knee pads. The market is mainly divided into sports and rehabilitation. Exercise is to prevent injuries in sports. Rehabilitation is aimed at some athletes. Even if their muscles have been damaged, they still insist on a lot of training to protect the damaged parts. Rehabilitation type is generally more expensive because of its strong pertinence, ranging from several hundred to 5,000 RMB.
Finally, it depends on the material. Inferior materials will decompose in less than two years. You get what you pay.
If you just want to keep warm, choose wool knee pads to resist rheumatism, arthritis and falls. They are delicate and soft, and have good warmth retention. Wear it when you go out in winter to protect your knees from arthritis.
Knee pads have two functions. One is the brake. The other is heat preservation. Let alone keep warm. The knee is very easy to catch cold, and many knee diseases are related to knee diseases. Especially in mountainous areas, the mountain breeze is very cold and hard, and the leg muscles often feel hot because they have been exercising, but the knees are not hot because there is no muscle exercise. When we feel comfortable radiating heat from our legs, our knees actually catch cold. At this time,
This paper mainly talks 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 bones and hangs 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 has no strenuous exercise. 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 ilium in a relatively stable position, so as to 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 joint bending, and keep it in a straight line from thigh to calf, thus reducing the knee joint bending and protecting the knee joint from aggravating the disease.
According to different functions, two kinds of climbing knee pads are recommended. One is thick, with a big hole in the front exposing the knee, usually tied, and then fixed with adhesive buttons. This kind of kneepad can make the knee not bend easily after binding, and the thigh and calf are always in a straight line, which is very suitable for the impermeability of its material and is not easy to be used for daily protection of the knee. The other is put on it. It has some elasticity. After wearing it, the knee can still move freely, but you can obviously feel the patella tightening slightly. This kind of knee pad with light braking can be used to protect the knee in normal exercise, and it is very breathable, so you will hardly feel any inconvenience when wearing it. Therefore, this light brake kneepad is recommended for every mountaineering activity.
Knee pads are sometimes placed inside pants and sometimes outside. The advantage of putting them inside is that they are stable and 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 decrease.
Generally speaking, 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.
Whether it is knee pads or trekking poles, it only provides auxiliary protection. Protecting your knees is fundamental, and you should exercise regularly to increase the strength of your flesh and blood. You should equip yourself with a scientific and reasonable burden and keep your movements reasonable in the activities. Knee injury in outdoor sports has become a very common problem. For the sake of your knee health and outdoor activities, please strengthen your awareness of prevention and protect your knees!
