Walking and Running for Fitness


Having a good knee brace is very important. Nobody wants to injure themselves further. I read some interesting stuff in an article recently:

"In running alone, 60% of all runners are injured in an average year and about one third of these sports injuries affect the knee.

Knee injuries are also the most common sports injuries sustained by school children, as they often occur during football, hockey and rugby.

Yet far too little is known by the general public about the advantages of knee support or the other simple steps that can be taken to help knee injury prevention.

The knee is the largest joint in the body, made up of bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments. A knee sports injury can involve any of these."
