Usage of knee pads What are the functions of knee pads

Knee pads refer to a piece of fabric used to protect people’s knees. In modern sports, knee pads are widely used. What are the specific ways to use them? The following is the content I compiled about the use of knee pads. I hope you like it!

How to use knee pads

When using knee pads, they are sometimes placed inside the pants. Sometimes it's left outside. The advantage of putting it inside is that it has good stability and can maximize the braking effect; the advantage of using it outside is that it is easy to wear and adjust, but the braking performance will be reduced. Generally speaking, when the environment does not change significantly and there is no need to adjust or take off the knee pads at any time, it is better to leave them inside. On the contrary, it is better to leave them outside. Whether it is knee pads or trekking poles, they only provide auxiliary protection. To protect your knees, the most fundamental thing is to exercise regularly, increase muscle strength, equip yourself with scientific and reasonable weight-bearing, and maintain reasonable movements during activities. Knee injuries during outdoor sports are a fairly common problem.

Considering that the knee is one of the most important parts of outdoor activities, and the activities of the TREEKER family are often "four-wheel drive" (another name that requires the simultaneous efforts of all four limbs), it is relatively easy to be injured. Knees, so we recommend the use of "knee pads". The knee is not only an extremely important part in sports, but it is also a relatively fragile part that is easily injured. It is also extremely painful and slow to recover when injured. Some people may even experience a dull pain on rainy and cloudy days. Knee pads made of thick felt material that can be purchased in almost all sporting goods stores can reduce and avoid injuries to a certain extent. They can also protect against cold when used in winter and are not expensive. I am not recommending knee pads as a must-have item here, but it is a fact that they are widely used in all sports activities.

Travel enthusiasts all know the function of knee pads, but not many know how to use them correctly and the consequences of improper use. Knee pads on the market are roughly divided into professional knee pads and non-professional knee pads. Here we only refer to non-professional knee pads.

There are two types of non-professional knee pads, long and short. According to the season, they can be divided into summer and autumn knee pads (short knee pads) and winter and spring knee pads (generally leather on the outside and long hair on the inside). The quality and price of various knee pads vary greatly, and motorcycle friends can choose one according to their own needs and economic conditions.

Some travelers wear knee pads when traveling for long distances, but they often do not wear them for short distances. Who knows? Three feet of ice does not last in a day? If you ride short distances frequently and for a long time, your knee joints will still get sick. Therefore, I would like to remind motorcycle friends to protect your knee joints from 0 kilometers. If your knee joints It's too late to regret wearing knee braces after a disease has occurred.

Some travel friends think that wearing knee pads is only for winter and does not need to be worn in summer. This view is wrong. Because the temperature is high in summer, the pores of the skin expand much larger than in winter. If you ride without wearing knee pads, your knee joints will be more susceptible to high-speed wind, and the chance of getting sick will be greater. Characteristics of knee pads

The functions of knee pads are threefold, one is braking, the other is heat preservation, and the third is health care. Not much to say about thermal insulation. Knees are very susceptible to cold. Many knee joint diseases are related to cold knees. Especially in the mountains, the mountain wind is very cold and hard. Often the leg muscles will feel very uncomfortable due to constant exercise. Hot, but the knees are not hot because there is no muscle movement. When people feel that the heat dissipation in the legs is very comfortable, the knees are actually getting cold. At this time, if they are wearing knee pads, the heat preservation effect of the knee pads can be reflected. .

Mainly talk about the braking effect of knee pads. The knee joint is where the upper and lower leg bones meet. There is a meniscus in the middle and a patella in front. The patella is stretched by two muscles and is suspended in front of the intersection of the leg bones. It is very easy to slide. In normal life, it is not subject to external force. There is no impact, and there is no strenuous movement, so the patella can move normally in a small range in the knee area. Because mountaineering puts too much pressure on the knees, coupled with the strenuous exercise during mountaineering, it is easy for the patella to be pulled away from its original position, thus causing knee joint diseases. Wearing a knee brace can fix the patella in a relatively stable position to ensure that it is not easily injured. What is mentioned above is the mild braking effect of the knee brace when the knee joint is not injured. After the knee joint is injured, using a heavily braking knee brace can reduce the bending of the knee, maintain it in a straight line from the thigh to the calf, and reduce the bending of the knee joint. Bend to protect the knee joint from aggravating the condition. Knee pad selection strategies

According to different functions, knee pads are basically divided into two types.

One type is the thicker one commonly seen in physical stores

It has a big hole in the front to expose the knees. It is usually bundled and fixed with Velcro. of knee pads. This kind of knee brace can prevent the knees from bending easily after being tied tightly. The thighs and calves are always in a straight line with the knees. Therefore, it is very suitable for severe "braking" after knee injuries. Moreover, due to the airtightness of its material, it is not easy to be used as a brake pad. Daily knee protection.
