You and the God are worse than a pair of off-road sticks
What you must know about walking sticks
1. How canes are constructed
Cross-country running sticks are usually composed of six parts: grips, wrist straps, poles, pole locks, pole tips, protective sleeves, pole supports, etc. The pole is the soul of the pole. The walking stick for trail running is generally two straight sticks. The material of the rod body is usually divided into aluminum alloy, carbon alloy, and titanium alloy, and the prices of the three are increasing.
2. The development of the cane
It was a happy thing to be able to pick up a handy branch when I walked through it in my early years.
The so-called hand weighing means that the diameter, length, weight, straightness, elasticity and durability are suitable for the hand. The diameter cannot be too thick, the thick one does not fit the hand, and it is heavy; it cannot be too short, the length can be cut off, and the short is useless; of course, the weight should be light; straight is better than the curve, of course, a little bending, with a little flexibility can also add points ;durable? The branches should not be too dry, and the inner core should not be hollow, otherwise they will break easily. Branches containing some water are usually more durable (but it is not recommended to break down from a living tree, just pick up the branches).
Until now, professional cane products, no matter from the improvement of quality functions or the division of subdivided fields, no longer have to hit Dayun to pick up branches.
Whether it is in hiking, mountain climbing, cross-country running, the role of the cane has been fully verified. The reasonable use of the cane can reduce the burden on the knees and legs, reduce sports injuries, extend the exercise time... and other benefits.
3. Functionality of the walking stick
Sharing the pressure: With the help of the cane, effectively use the strength above the core to share the pressure on the legs and knees.
Maintain stability: When you lose balance, you can use your cane to restore your body's balance quickly and improve your stability.
Protect the waist and spine: break down the single point of pressure and effectively use the muscles of the whole body to reduce the pressure on the waist and back.
Improve efficiency and reduce consumption: make the running last longer and more stable.
4. Characteristics of off-road walking stick
light
At present, the common cross-country poles on the market are mostly carbon in material, and the diameter of the pipe is also significantly smaller than the trekking pole. This result is that the weight of the special running stick is almost half of the trekking pole. Compared with cross-country running, mountaineering routes are much more "complex", gravel trees and river ditches, etc., so the design of trekking poles should be more durable, from the tip of the pole to the body of the pole.
I use a cane for cross-country running. I personally feel that it is positioned as auxiliary equipment (the main equipment is the legs of the runner), which is light in weight and does not increase the burden.
fast
When climbing, the up and down changes are usually not too frequent, and the hiking speed is relatively slow, so it is easy to adjust, and when running, especially in competitions, many adjustments need to be done in relatively "fast" sports, I In the actual game, the state of using a stick can be divided into four types, namely: running with a stick-running with a stick-holding a hand with a stick-running with a stick-the most ideal adjustment for these four stages is all Done in running,
Therefore, most of the common running poles are pull-type and folding fixed, and there is almost no rotation fixed common to hiking poles.
province
Cross-country running routes change a lot. Generally, there are long and gentle sections. In addition, during the starting stage or when the physical strength is good, many runners are also accustomed to put their canes away. After all, running on the hand will still increase the burden on the arm; and the running backpack Often, the size and volume are limited. Whether it is tied outside the package or within the income package, shorter storage length is welcome, and this four-section cane is more advantageous.
5. How to use off-road walking sticks
Use of wrist strap
It is more labor-saving to use the wrist strap. If the grip is exerted directly, the hand will be miserable; the correct method is to pass the wrist strap loop from the bottom to the top to adjust the length of the wrist strap, and then tighten the wrist strap backward. Just press the wristband forward, make a fist with your fingers, hold the wristband and the grip together, and press down on the wristband when you force it. You don't need to palm directly to exert pressure on the grip.
Use of grips
In normal use, you don't need to exert too much force on the grip, you can gently hold it; many grips have an extension area under the sponge material. This is a temporary use area, such as cross-cutting hillsides or zigzag rises on short distances. The length needs to be adjusted repeatedly, but one side is high and the other side is low, and the low side is used normally, the high side wrist presses the wristband, and the hand grasps the lower area. Simply get cross-country pole by the yard from manufacturers and suppliers.
Use when going up and down the mountain
The uphill stick can be adjusted shorter, the downhill length is longer, generally 10-20 cm; the uphill is usually slower, the cane is mainly used to reduce the consumption of the legs, the downhill speed is faster, the cane is mainly used to reduce the impact of the knee, And maintain the balance of the body during rapid movement; also need to pay attention to downhill, the position of the cane should be stable, for safety reasons, try not to put all the body weight on the stick.
6. Choice of off-road cane
The most traditional trekking poles are mostly one-piece telescopic inner sleeve structures. The weight is relatively large, and most of the storage lengths are in the range of 65-70 cm. Therefore, their carrying performance is not good. We do not recommend it. Almost all running trekking poles no longer use this type of design.
In recent years, the Z-shaped trekking pole that has just emerged has become popular. Its design is inspired by the avalanche detection pole. A hidden inner rope, push-pull button and single-pull quick sleeve have been used to build a quick folding easy assembly. The system can be disassembled into a three-section rod body to form a zigzag shape and close together to form a "three" shape.
