Poles, our great ally in the mountains<\/p>

Reduction of the workload <\/strong><\/p>

Several studies prove that\u00a0the reduction of the load on the legs <\/strong>during ascents is around 14%, while during descents it is around 20%. Therefore, the use of poles allows us to prevent muscle injuries in the joints, specifically in the knees.

Balance<\/strong><\/p>

Our balance improves because we have four <\/strong>points of support.<\/strong>The probability of falling decreases, especially on descents, and therefore increases our safety.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Performance<\/strong><\/p>

All this translates into better performance: we save forces that will allow us to complete our ascents or expeditions.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Upper Body<\/strong><\/p>

Naturally, the use of poles means a slight increase in effort in the upper body, if you use a good \"poling\" technique. The poles are not designed to be leaned on with our full weight.<\/p>


Technique<\/strong><\/p>

If we observe experienced climbers, we will see how the pole \"accompanies\" their movement, resulting in a harmonious step, in which the poles are an extension of their arms.

Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>

A climber who uses poles regularly will be in much better condition at the end of his career than one who has not used them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
