How to run to protect the knee Running knee pain is what happened

May 20, 2023
The knee is a very problematic part of the running movement, and the health of the knee directly affects your running performance, so protecting the knee has become something runners need to focus on, here are some suggestions on how to protect the knee in running.

Wear shock-absorbing running shoes

A good pair of shock absorbing running shoes can absorb most of the impact of the ground, reducing the pressure and wear on the knee joint and relieving pain in the leg muscles. Many running shoes use very high-tech materials that can absorb the shock while giving rebound, allowing you to run more effortlessly and lightly.

Adjust your running posture

Most runners with knee injuries are caused by incorrect running posture, especially keeping the toe direction and knee direction in line, otherwise it will lead to a steep increase in knee pressure and a high risk of injury.

Strengthen the muscles around the knee joint

The stronger the muscles, the stronger and more stable they are, and the greater the load they can carry. Strengthening the muscles around the knee is an important means of protecting them safely. Here we recommend static squat training against the wall, static training, convenient, safe and effective.

Wearing knee pads

Knee pads are the equivalent of external muscles, like a pair of hands holding your knee, making it more stable and effective in preventing knee injuries, quickly and effectively.

Remember to warm up

When it comes to warming up in fact every runner is aware of its importance, but often the excitement and perfunctory attitude leads to a warm-up that does not achieve the effect of warming up. It is recommended to jog before running, so that the main muscles that will be involved in the exercise later are activated, while the internal organs are mobilized to adapt to the intensity of the exercise that will begin.
