Some people say that exercise is a kind of exercise for knee function; others worry that exercise will cause knee joint wear and tear, which is harmful to knee health. So is exercise and running good or bad for the knee? How should weprotect the knee when we are exercising?
There's no running knee
The knee joint is one of the joints that the human body moves most and bears the most weight. Generally speaking, torsion is the most likely cause of knee joint injury, such as running, the route is straight, and the injury will be less. But regular runners worry about running knees. Is that right?
Yang Yuping said: "in fact, there is no" running knee ". At least in clinical practice, the concept of" running knee "is not mentioned. If you feel discomfort, it is generally cartilage damage, tendon end disease, synovitis and so on. " "In fact, as long as the amount of exercise is well controlled, running rarely causes damage, the key is whether you are overweight. The joint is just like the pulley. The upper side is pulling it, and the greater the weight below, the greater the parallel force component on the leg. "
To solve the problem of knee over strain, Yang Yuping explained, "all sports should be moderate. I sum up four words: do as you can. Professional athletes are training their muscle strength, body flexibility and so on every day. They usually have a strong medical and rehabilitation team. These conditions are not available to ordinary people. "
Treadmill is not recommended
Many people, especially white-collar workers, are keen to apply for fitness cards, run on treadmills in the gym, or purchase treadmills at home. One run is an hour. How much does running on the treadmill hurt the knee?
Yang Yuping said: "it's not recommended to use treadmills for running. Treadmills are particularly worn on the knees. The biggest problem with the treadmill is that it's fixed speed. If you slow down a little bit, you fall off the treadmill. "
"But if you think about it, can you stand running at the same speed for half an hour or an hour? If the coordination of knee joint and muscle can not keep up, it will cause concussion damage to meniscus and cartilage of knee joint. "
