During hikes the knees are more loaded than during a regular walk around the city. This is due to the fact, that we walk on uneven terrain and steep slopes, with a heavy backpack on our shoulders. The quality of the shoes also affects the condition of the knees. Regularly making the same mistakes, as a result of constant physical activity, you can seriously damage your knees. Keep in mind that treating knee and joint injuries is a long and expensive process. And a competent prevention is much simpler and cheaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_48439\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48439\" class=\"wp-image-48439 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Endzakisar - Mount Kaputkogh\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?resize=1030%2C687&amp;ssl=1 1030w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?resize=705%2C470&amp;ssl=1 705w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.armgeo.am\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_6957.jpg?resize=450%2C300&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-48439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Knee pain during hiking<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Going down the mountain and each time putting the foot to the ground, the knee gets hit.
