When a person runs with full speed, maximum body weight is carried out by the knees. This body weight is 4-5 times than original. A continuous stress is also on the knees during running. So there is maximum possible chance to injure the knees severely. To reduce this risk of damage knee supports & braces are used. Any kind of sports need strength & support of the knees. From beginners to professionals one thing is most important in any kind of sports & that is safety.

Different types of knee supports are used for different kinds of injuries. For example in case of IT band syndrome, an IT band strap is used above the knee to give a pressure on the knee & reducing the strain by stimulating the blood flow. Similarly for jumpers’ knee, patella tendon straps are used.

Patella mal-tracking is one of the most uncomfortable injuries for the runner. In this runner will feel the pain in the front of the knee after a run. The knee support which should be used by the runner is the patella knee brace. This is circular in shape with thick foam padding in the front of the knee. It will stabilise the knee muscle & the chance of the injury will be minimized.

More severe & acute injuries like ligament & cartilage tears occur through falls or by the twists of the joints. Those who don’t want to take a long unwilling break from his/her career due to this type of injury, must use a lightweight stabilise support to reduce the tear & twisting of the knees. LP709 or LP X-Tremus would be perfect.

If anyone is recovering from the knee replacement surgery he/she must use knee supports so that the knees will be able to heal properly. Knee bags acts like airbag of the vehicles. Like airbags knees are also try to neutralise the impact & protect the leg bones & muscles from the acute injuries. So a knee support must be as suitable as that it can absorb the blows & protects the knee.

Most knee braces are made light in weight. Actually heavy braces are always very uncomfortable for athletes. Especially for long jumpers & runners. An extra pound of load is so difficult to carry & it also hampers their performances. Beside that heavy loaded knee supports can be damaging for the athletes.

If there is any knee problem like arthritis then one must to wear a knee support. It helps him/her to distribute the body weight by compressing the muscle & as a result the weight will not be concentrated in one area. So it will not cause any pain even it will not damage the knee by running or jumping.

The pad gripper of the knee support should be tight enough so that the padding is gripped on the knee properly & never been dislocated from its proper place at the time of sports due to vibration or motion.

So if you want to make your knees safe & secure use right & appropriate protection & “Get,Set, Go”!!
