4 common causes of knee pain after exercise. How to avoid it?
Knee pain can have various causes and should always be a stimulus for deeper analysis, and if it does not stop after a rest, visit a doctor. We have only one body. You have to respect them.
Let's move on to the most common causes of this disturbing ailment.
1. No depreciation during dynamic exercises
jumps, skips, burpees, clowns, etc. In this section, I do not mean to wear shoes, and the ability to cushion the body during landing on the ground. I will write it down. Some fall to the ground like a log, in spite of shoes for 500 zlotys, and others in a delicate way even barefoot. The weight of the body is not here to such great importance, though of course, high overweight or obesity combined with jumps is a big risk.
*Tip
After each jump, try to land in a noisy way. If your training makes the floor shake and your neighbors get mad, you can rest assured that your knees and spine are not lightweight.
2. Inadequate shoes
In my opinion it is less important than the first point, but worth mentioning about it. Conversom, Vansom, white fashionable sneakers, barefoot training we say - NO. I myself prefer a fairly hard sole for exercise, but remember the principle:
*Tip
More dynamic training (more jumping) - thicker sole with higher cushioning
Weight training, quiet sit-ups, drooping (no jumping) - just a thin sole
Exercises performed on the mat, at a calmer pace, belly, stretching - let the foot pooddycha (you can let the shoes off)

3. Incorrect technique
about which I wrote more than once. People are divided into two groups. Some are able to perform movement tasks by looking at another person and leaving them unmistakably, while others need correcting, guidance and time to do the same exercise.
*Tip
If you belong to the second group, I commit you to analyze your technique by the mirror. Better yet - your technicians will look at your professional trainer. The best experience, because it will just catch what is almost invisible to the eye.

Too often training
Even if you can jump like a tiger, you have great shoes and book techniques you will not avoid joint fatigue if you work too hard or are too busy. People who start their adventure with sport usually have less endurance, so the amount of workout is not so dizzy and ponds have time to adapt to the new style of spending time. There is still a group - training "upswing". A few weeks of systematic exercises are interwoven with weeks of complete laziness, where the only activity is getting to the car. When the bulb comes in a couple of hours a day, the joints are simply not prepared for such intense exercises, and the pain signals that fatigue.
*Tip
Do not skip the adaptation period - there are no short cuts. Remember the days spent resting. Take a relaxing bath, go to the sauna. Treat your body with respect.
Also do not forget about stretching and / or roll. Our bodies are made of anatomical tapes and often joint pain can be caused by muscle contractures that seemingly are not associated with the knee. We stretch the whole body.
I hope I helped those with knee pain, and the rest, I wish you continued health: D
