Does wearing knee pads play a big role in running?
1. Wearing knee pads during running has a great protective effect on knees.

2. In view of the popularity of sports protective equipment, it is very important for people with knee injuries to wear knee pads when running. We ordinary people can't wear it without it. It's good for the knee to wear knee pads, especially for highly antagonistic sports, such as basketball, which should be mobilized, especially wearing knee pads.

3. Because exercise is inseparable from the rotation and impact of joints, it is easy to damage the knee joint. Knee pads can better adjust the range of motion of the knee, reduce the resistance impulse and avoid injury during exercise.

Extended data:

The benefits of kneepads to knees are:

1, keep warm: the knee joint is fragile in winter, so you can use knee pads to keep warm, cotton and soft knee pads to ensure the normal blood circulation of the knee. If you keep warm, you'd better choose wool knee pads, which have good thermal performance. Old people wear it when they go out in winter to protect their knees from arthritis, and long-term persistence can prevent and treat rheumatic knee joint diseases.

2. Health protection: due to various postures during exercise, it is easy to cause various injuries or strains to the knee joint. Knee pads are attached to the knee, which can stabilize the knee during exercise and guide the quadriceps femoris to contract, improve the desperate efficiency of quadriceps femoris and reduce knee pain.

3. Braking, traction and stretching: the knee joint is where the upper and lower bones of the calf meet, and there is a meniscus (meniscus, two half-moon cartilage, located at the junction of femur and tibia, which plays a role in buffering and dispersing weight. In addition, there is articular cartilage, which is like a smooth elastic lining, covering the top of the bone at the joint of the knee to minimize the friction when the bone ends move relative to each other.

4. Because the pressure of exercise on the knee is too great, it is easy to pull the patella away from its original position, thus causing knee joint diseases. Wearing knee pads can fix the patella in a relatively stable position and ensure that it is not easy to be injured.
