Does climbing have an effect on your knees?

Stair climbing has an effect on the knee joint because the knee joint flexion and extension activities during stair climbing are several times the normal standing load, which can cause damage to the knee joint. For normal people, the load can be adjusted and repaired in a short time, but for older people or those with knee disorders, overload activities can aggravate the knee disorder and cause bad effects. You should pay attention to protecting the knee joint in daily life, and try to do less strenuous exercises such as climbing mountains and stairs, and do appropriate physical exercises such as slow walking, swimming or pedaling to reduce the load of knee flexion and extension, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the knee joint.
