What are the effects of running on your knees?

Running is a sport that many people love very much. Every morning you can see many people, men and women, young and old, coming out for morning exercises. Many people choose to run, but some people say that running affects the knees. This makes many people who participate in the exercise feel confused. Isn’t running good for your health? So does running hurt your knees? Let’s analyze this issue below.

In fact, running is a very scientific sport. Studies have shown that people who run regularly are healthier, younger, have better skin, and age more slowly. Generally speaking, running will not cause harm to the knees. Even for overweight people, as long as they do not have joint diseases before jogging, they will not cause serious and irreversible damage to the knee joints.

However, it is worth reminding that everything has two sides, good and bad sides. Some sports competitions will cause great harm to athletes, but that is because the pressure caused by competition on athletes often leads to them over-training and enduring pain that ordinary people cannot bear, so many athletes will suffer knee injuries. For ordinary people, the intensity of exercise is far from that of competitive athletes, so people who exercise regularly or do morning exercises don’t need to worry at all.

First, there are still some things you need to pay attention to when running:

Second, when running, try to land as lightly as possible and allow for a cushioning process.

Third, try to run on the road if possible and avoid running on a treadmill.

Fourth, warm up before running, stretch your muscles and ligaments, and fully move your knee joints. Do not run beyond your physical capabilities.

From this we can see that there is nothing wrong with general morning exercises and jogging, and we don’t have to be afraid of injuring our knees and not dare to go running. As the saying goes, life lies in exercise. You should participate in more physical exercises to have a healthy body and maintain a slim figure. However, you must do it within your ability.
