Advice: The 3 types of exercise are equivalent to "punishing" the knee, so avoid it! Experts share knee pad experience

Young people are healthy and can try various sports. As we get older, our joints begin to degenerate. There is a layer of cartilage on our joints, but due to aging, poor life posture and other reasons, it will cause the degeneration and decrease of articular cartilage, and cause arthritis. If you continue to do some unreasonable exercises, not only will it not be beneficial to the body, but will increase the joint damage, which is tantamount to "punishing" the knee, especially for patients with knee arthritis. So which sports are bad for the knee joint?

These three types of exercise are equivalent to "punishing" the knee

1) Mountaineering

Mountain climbing is a sport that many middle-aged and elderly friends like, but when climbing, the patella and femur will be subjected to relatively large pressure, and will repeatedly rub and strain the joints, which can easily cause knee joint synovial damage and fat pad congestion. Especially when going downhill, because the weight of the whole body is clamped on one knee joint in turns, the pressure seems to be several times that of normal standing, so it is more likely to damage the knee joint. If you are healthy and like mountain climbing, you can warm up and wear knee pads before climbing. Choose a gentle mountain range and don't use it too frequently.

2) Runaway

When many mobile apps first launched step counting, many people ran into rankings every day in order to fight for the number of steps. At that time, news broke that someone had knee synovitis after 3 months of running violently. Although walking is a good way of exercise, excessive walking will increase the wear of the knee joint, especially for patients with arthritis, osteoporosis and other diseases.

3) Climb stairs

Climbing stairs is the same as climbing, and it is not recommended for patients who already have synovitis and arthritis. Especially climbing stairs with weights will further increase the pressure on the joints.
