Should I wear a knee support when exercising?!


Question:

Should I wear a knee support when exercising?

I seem to suffer with my knees the day after i've done a few miles on my exercise bike and crosstrainer...would a knee support help? Any warm up techniques or advice? I do the above as it's less impact on my joints

Answers:

First, evaluate or check your knee rotation and range mvement. If you dont feel normal. you have to correct it first by some proper stretching and strenghthening technique ( go to yoga /pilates class). Especially if you really like biking and sort of aerobic activity, you should have a good knee joints : strong but flexible, And also knowing its function to your legs and body and which movement affect its health ( all can be learned with a competent trainer). Biking and cross training have less impact rather than running, but it doesnt mean that every one has used their joints ( ankles, knee and hips joints) properly while moving on those stations.
Then, if you like doing training in long haul , recognize more your body when it is in emergency situation or not. And right after the training , check it. Always finished every hard training session with a good and intense stretch to avoid future injury.
My conclution: get some rest, analysed your knee situation and consult to a competent trainer about some legs excercise to correct it. your legs needed to be strengthen and flexibilize only.
Cheers.
