The relationship between rampage and knees
Every night, pedestrians on the streets are walking at a rapid pace. This simple and effective form of exercise is considered by many to be a good remedy for maintaining good health. However, we should recognize that the knees, as the body's weight-bearing joints, are under tremendous stress when walking quickly. Especially for those who may have knee problems, going berserk may not be the wisest option.
The meniscus in the knee, like the body's "shock absorber", plays an important cushioning role, helping to distribute the weight and impact of the leg. However, under repetitive or excessive stress, the meniscus may wear or tear, causing pain, swelling, and even difficulty moving.
It's not about running at night, it's about understanding the concept of moderate exercise. In a regimen, moderation is the key to maintaining balance. While pursuing the effect of exercise, we should pay more attention to the reasonable protection of the body.
The structure of the knee is worn with the meniscus
The knee is one of the most complex joints in the human body and is made up of the patella, tibia, and femur. In this structure, the presence of the meniscus is particularly crucial. Located between the femur and tibia, the meniscus is a cartilaginous half-moon-shaped structure whose main function is to provide cushioning and stability, helping to distribute the pressure of the upper limbs on the legs.
However, when we overuse our knees or suffer a violent impact, the meniscus can suffer damage. This injury usually manifests as wear and tear and, in severe cases, can lead to knee joint dysfunction, causing pain and swelling. This is one of the reasons why rampage can be risky.
In order to prevent meniscus wear, we need to pay attention to the reasonable allocation of exercise intensity and time during exercise, and avoid long-term high-intensity exercise. Additionally, exercises that strengthen the muscles around the knee joint, especially the quadriceps thighs, can help provide better support and protection.
The right way to exercise your knees
First of all, we want to emphasize the choice of low-impact sports. Low-impact exercises are relatively knee friendly because they don't cause too much impact and damage to the joint structure. For example, swimming is an excellent option, and the buoyancy of the water can reduce the weight of the body and reduce the burden on the knees. Cycling and water walking are also good options.
Secondly, targeted strength training is an effective means of protecting the knee joint. Strengthening the quadriceps muscles of the thighs and the muscles around the legs can provide better support and stability to the knees. Simple leg exercises, such as squats and leg presses, can be effective in working these muscle groups and improving knee stability.
In this process, we cannot ignore the wisdom in the wellness scriptures. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" mentions: "Keeping it quiet, being soft and harmonious, can keep the qi and slow down the sun, and the weak can slow down." "Maintaining harmony between the mind and body is an effective way to prevent various health problems.
Let's take the ups and downs of life with a desire for health. In this wisdom of health, let us work together to protect this estate that belongs to us and enjoy a healthy and peaceful life.
