On October 12, 2016, there was a sporadic hazy rain on cloudy days. Today's left leg has a bit of a sore feeling. This feeling has lasted for several days, although it is not an injury suffered during a traversal, but several times the amount of physical activity. During the crossing, the left leg and knee have given me several warnings. Perhaps the knee needs a good rest. ◠The source of knee injury Posts posted here must be to illustrate sports injuries, for the growing outdoor sports, I exercise the problem of knees for several years, even because the knee injury gradually decreased, even withdraw from the outdoor sports circle, really a pity. So what caused the knee injury? One is that the shoes do not give sufficient support to the foot, which in turn causes the knees to be directly impacted by the ground. Second, because of improper exercise methods, such as running down the hill, causing a shock to the knees; the most important issue is inappropriately carrying too much weight. Backpack. The problem came up, how to solve? ◠Should we carry multiple packages? In outdoor circles there is a saying that backpacks should not exceed 1/3 of their weight. Most people use this famous quote to guide their weight-bearing when they enter the outdoor circle. Therefore, how many kilograms of their backs are compared and how fast they go... Unconsciously pushed himself to the edge of sports injuries. Here is not to discuss who summed up such a classic proportion, but if the newcomer directly according to this set, no more than 3 years, 1/3 of the people are back to sports injuries (I also summed up a 1/3 law). We assume that this law is summed up in Europe and the United States, but with different races, it must be changed. 1/3 should be regarded as the upper limit of long-distance crossing under an extreme condition. The initial physical condition is good, and the back 1/3 weight pack feels relaxed, but this will quietly give the body the root of the damage, after long-term loading, The knee is often the first part of the problem, and it is very slow to recover. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the backpack, at least to relieve the compression of the knee. Then I am an example: For a weight of 60 kilograms, a bag that used to carry 20 to 22 kilograms was not very tired (Knee “tired†is difficult to find. When you feel it, it means you have to stop outdoor sports. Need to cultivate knees). However, during this year's several masochistic traversals, I feel that the knees are already uncomfortable and there is a feeling that I cannot make full efforts and do not listen. When the weight of the backpack was reduced to 1/4 of the body weight, that is to say, when I was about 15 kilograms back, there was very little problem with my knee. This seemed to be a comfort to my heart, but the weight of 5 kilograms did indeed kill the knee. So I recommend doing this: Keep the backpack's weight at 1/4 of its weight, and limit it to no more than 1/3. Use knee pads as much as possible to reduce the impact and assist with the use of trekking poles. Let's return to nature, let us not damage our body and knees for a time's appetite, and we hope that when a friend with a knee injury recovers, look at the unnecessary FB items in the backpack and bite it and throw it away. !
