What to do when knee pain occurs during mountain climbing?

Many people like to do some outdoor sports. Mountain climbing is an increasingly popular outdoor sport. In the process of mountain climbing, you can not only exercise your body and mobilize your body, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. It is a very pleasant way to exercise. However, many people feel very painful in their knee joints after climbing the mountain. What's going on?

Squatting pose causes knee injuries. A US study says that Americans are fatter than Chinese, and being overweight is more likely to cause arthritis in the knees. Survey data also show that Chinese elderly people are more likely to suffer from knee arthritis than American elderly people. This is because Chinese people have the habit of squatting frequently. The squatting posture over the years can easily cause knee damage, which can lead to knee arthritis in old age.

High heels cause knee arthritis. Relevant research shows that for women who wear high heels, the pressure on their knee joints is three times that of ordinary people. Especially when going downhill in high heels, the pressure on the knee joints can reach 7 to 9 times that of normal people. This extra pressure can cause degenerative changes in the bones and joints of the human knee, leading to knee osteoarthritis. Research from Harvard Medical School also stated that whether wearing pointed high heels or wide high heels, the pressure on the knee joints when walking is the same. Therefore, women should wear low-heeled shoes or flat shoes more often.

Excessive weight bearing can lead to osteoarthritis. Research by Dutch scientists shows that heavy physical labor increases the risk of osteoarthritis in unilateral or bilateral hip joints. This is because long-term weight-bearing in the joints causes the degeneration of cartilage, causing it to become thinner or disappear, resulting in a reduction in the joint's ability to absorb impact. As long as the joints are subjected to greater force or are used more frequently, pain will be felt. This change occurs in joints throughout the body.

There are many reasons that can cause joint pain. If your joints are not in good condition, or if you are elderly, you should pay attention to the intensity of exercise when climbing. Don't overexert yourself at one time. This may cause joint wear and tear, which is very serious. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.
