Dear Sir ,
I have seen many runners use knee caps even if it is niggling knee pain and it becomes more of a habit to run with the knee caps "on". Is it advisable to run with Knee caps for long-distances or detrimental in the long run ? Does prolonged use change the running style and effect running efficiency?
I would be grateful to hear your comments/advise on this .
Best regards,
Veera
Knee caps are not advisable in the long run. Its better to address the problem naturally by making your muscle balance correct. This should involve strengthening and stretching of muscles.
