Causes of knee injuries from running

We all know that every organ and tissue in the body is not static. When we exercise, not only can our bones become denser, but our muscles will also develop. However, it has an impact on our knees. This is mainly because the impact force of running directly acts on the knees, which can cause wear and tear on the knees. Therefore, athletes' knees are worn out relatively much. However, as long as we run scientifically, our knees will not be hurt.

Long-term exercise will make your bones denser and your muscles stronger. In other words, the more you exercise, the higher the wear resistance of your knees. However, when the wear and impact during running exceeds the capacity of skeletal muscles, or the increased intensity exceeds the growth rate of skeletal muscles, injuries will occur. If the muscles and bones are strong enough to withstand the wear and tear and impact, no injuries will occur.

Therefore, every time after a knee injury, the doctor's advice is to rest and not move; while some experienced runners suggest continuing to run, and there is also a saying that "jogging can cure knee injuries." In fact, both statements are reasonable and one-sided. The key lies in how to control the wear and impact force and the degree of bone and muscle growth and recovery.

The way to avoid knee injuries from running is to reduce wear and impact and increase the strength of bones and muscles. Instead of not running, if you don't exercise for a long time, your muscles and bones will degenerate, and osteoporosis or slight impact will cause various injuries. At the same time, the lack of effective aerobic training will cause various problems in cardiopulmonary capacity, resistance, blood pressure and other physiological functions. Therefore, you should never give up running simply because it may cause wear and tear on the knee joints. Any exercise can cause physical harm if done excessively or improperly.

The above is an analysis of the causes of knee injuries caused by running. I hope that those of you who like sports can pay attention to this and avoid excessive injury to the knees. As our quality of life improves, many friends will go to the gym to exercise, but you should pay attention to the speed of the treadmill and the running time to avoid symptoms such as knee injuries from running.
