Do you know how to use the trekking pole correctly?

Previously using crutches for hiking or climbing was often considered a symbol of age, but modern outdoor sports medicine studies have shown that using trekking poles can not only improve hiking efficiency, but also reduce sports injuries caused by long hiking and mountaineering, and There are also portable canopy tents, personal accounts, etc. The trekking poles can be used as camping columns to make hiking trips more lightweight. Next we will take a look at the advantages of using trekking poles and how to use them properly.


The benefits of using trekking poles for the body The greatest advantage of using trekking poles for the body is to use it to reduce the stress on the feet, especially to reduce the burden on the knee and thigh muscles. This is because climbing trekking poles with arms can be used to climb mountains. The rods share the weight of the upper body and can also use the arms and trekking poles to increase the upward force and reduce the muscle strength of the thighs when climbing. When using a trekking pole on a downhill slope, it is better to form a support in advance and reduce the impact on knees and ankles.
Correct use of trekking poles To maximize trekking poles, you must understand the correct method of use.
1. When using a trekking pole on any road or mountain, keep the upper arm and front arm as 90 degrees as possible in the most comfortable position.
2. When climbing uphill, shorten the length of the trekking pole to the most comfortable position for the individual, and use trekking poles without shock absorber effect. When downhill, the trekking pole with shock absorber effect is more comfortable to use and it is necessary to increase mountaineering. The length of the staff. The higher trekking pole design has the function of switching between shock absorbers and non-suspensions, and can be adjusted according to the terrain requirements.
3. The scale markings on trekking poles should be set before departure on each section of the road. Do not adjust while walking, nor do you need to adjust the length due to brief terrain changes.
4. It is better to use a double stick to walk in open terrain. When marching, double bars are used to match the rhythm of the pace. The trekking pole is in contact with the ground at an angle of 90 degrees with ease, and maintains a maximum angle of 60 degrees with the ground.
Choose a good trekking pole trekking poles of various types and styles, choose their own trekking poles, must consider the demand, activity type and terrain conditions.
Material: If the activity type is alpine hiking and wilderness activities, the material and function must be light, strong, comfortable and durable. Usually made of aluminum alloy, but aluminum alloys have different grades. Because high-end brands pay attention to the strength, they usually use T6 and T7 aluminum alloys.
In addition to aluminum products, there are also titanium alloys or carbon fiber materials. Titanium is lighter and more powerful than aluminum, but more expensive; carbon fiber products also have the advantages of lightweight, high strength, but the price is higher and more resistant to lateral Hit.

Structure: Most trekking poles are telescopic, but there are also sections that are assembled in sections. The general number of sections is three sections, and the storage volume is very short, which is conducive to carrying. Using two sticks at the same time is easier to maintain. Some trekking poles are designed with a shock absorber system, which is generally composed of springs. Higher-level models also use PU materials as shock-absorbing materials. In the pointed part, the cutting edge using tungsten steel products far exceeds the resistance of iron, very durable, but the price is higher; and the tip has a different pattern, which is designed to strengthen the grip.
The general surrounding hiking or gentle slopes do not have to be so stressful, and they do not need a suspension system, but they must be handy.

Grip: The grip is made of rubber, cork, EVA foam and plastic. The quality of grip is usually related to personal habits. In general, the texture of EVA is softer and it is more comfortable to hold; the hardness of cork and rubber is greater than that of EVA. Compared to the material of the grip, the shape is sometimes more important, so try to check it before buying to see if it is comfortable to hold. Some trekking poles have long grips, which can be changed at any time when the downhill gradient changes.


Wristbands: Most of the wristbands can be adjusted for tightness. This part can reduce the burden on the wrists. The advanced trekking pole wristbands have a three-dimensional design and are more comfortable to use, but they are more expensive.


Snow circle (mud block): It can prevent the trekking poles from falling into the snow or mud, but sometimes it will be caught in the bushes and cause inconvenience. Therefore, it is better to use quick disassembly.
