"Winter is not far off, and therefore, it's time to start making preparations for the ski season. After the first days of skiing, many feel pain in the front of the knee joint, the so-called tandenite bundles of the patella. In Soviet medicine, such injuries were called and classified as overvoltage diseases. Therefore, doctors usually say that the best way to avoid such problems is a good physical form. The presence of one muscular mass is not enough - muscles must be functional. This means that they should be prepared.
Proper preparation for the ski season implies the use of statitional exercises (balancing platform). Due to such training, excellent prevention of damage to the knee joint and all body muscles in general is ensured. Also, when preparing for skiing, do not forget about such moments as warm-up and a hitch. For many, riding is associated with recreation, and they do not think that you first need to warm up, and immediately go to conquer heavy and dangerous descents. Although even experienced skiers require warming exercises. The first descents, as a rule, are fulfilled with training trails. It acts as a kind of warm-up.
However, the situation is even worse with the catch. After all, the workout is bad, poor people perform. But there are few people think about the need for entering exercises. Although it is precisely this option of gymnastics makes it faster and easier to recover after training.
One of the main problems that many are afraid is damage to the knee joint, including the ruptures of the cruciform ligament and meniscovers. Damage occurs according to the following scheme: the stop is fixed on the spot, and the body is twisted. If it happens so that the ski is not disassembled during the fall, then due to the peculiar lever, the force begins to increase, and the likelihood that the intra-articular damage will occur markedly.
So, in addition to the preparation of the body to riding, it is necessary to properly prepare and equipment. Ski itself should be easily unfastened. For example, you need to adjust the skis by 10 kg less than your weight. Some ski lovers also additionally use special orthopedic orthosis. Such do not remove the risk of injury, but at the same time it is noticeably minimized. Ortesa are widely represented in orthopedic stores, any consultant will help them pick them up. From the fitting, it is better not to refuse - because such an individual means of protection must be as defined as possible.
And, of course, you should take care of your knees during riding. In order to reduce the risk of development of injury, riding should be carried out on semi-baked legs. In this case, the muscles will receive the voltage they need, and during the fall it will work as a protective pillow, and the injury will be less likely. "
