Avoid back pain and reduce knee wear after mountaineering
Medical experts said that the impact force on the knee was about five times of their own weight when they went downhill quickly.
If a person with a weight of 60kg comes down from a mountain 100 meters above sea level and needs to take 2 steps for every 1 meter of descent, our knees will bear 200 300 kg impacts.
If you climb a mountain at a higher altitude, your knees will suffer more and more impacts.
In the long run, it is easy to cause damage to knee joints and bare joints, which greatly increases the chance of suffering from arthritis and other diseases.
So don't underestimate this pole. It can offset the pressure on your lower limbs, avoid back pain and leg pain after climbing, and reduce knee wear.
After using the climbing stick, 90% of the muscles are involved, and the exercise intensity increases without decreasing.
Walking with a cane is actually equivalent to jogging.
It is easier to use the right climbing stick, but it is more dangerous to use the wrong one
Don't lay hidden dangers for yourself
Many mountaineers ignore the correct use of the climbing stick. They follow the lead of others. When they see someone poke a stick, they also take a stick and paint like a cat.
But in fact, the use of climbing sticks is very knowledgeable.
If you can't use the climbing stick correctly, it will not help you reduce the load, but will give you a hidden danger.
1. In places with slopes, teammates need to pull each other. In this case, it is absolutely not allowed to use the climbing stick as a power tool and let the other party pull the climbing stick to climb.
No matter how good the climbing stick is, it may fall off suddenly. This method of using the stick as a pulling tool is likely to cause accidents.
2. Some hikers are tired when walking, so they hold the climbing stick in their hands. The tip of the stick is not dragged on the ground, but is tilted up.
This practice is taboo.
The reason is that the tip of the staff is very sharp. Once the person walking behind falls forward carelessly, he or she may be stabbed by the tip of the staff, causing injury.
Therefore, in any case, the tip of the staff can only be downward, not upward.
3. Many sports enthusiasts do not have the habit of regularly checking the stability of climbing sticks.
Almost all the internal locking climbing sticks use thread expansion structure, and the thread will slowly loosen after a long time of use.
In particular, the left hand climbing stick will gradually unlock due to the habitual outward rotation of the arm.
Therefore, every time you walk for a while, you must stop to check the thread of the climbing stick and fasten it.
