>>2668455>No, that's just one of the potential benefits and is rather difficult for any one person to measuresure thing i remember when in my country some 10 years ago was this trend about the health benefits of using walking poles, basically 90% of everyone between 40 and 75 bought a pair
nobody had no idea what they were for or what they should do with them but everyone had to use them while walking, most people just dragged them behind just because
i have a bum knee that ive loosened while hiking and my other one is not far away from beign broken too, both are because i have descended with a backpack and never gave any tough why it hurts so much to do so
week ago i was hiking and there was 20cm of snow and said knee gave up on me and i had to walk home trought the forest roads after one night, i would have paid anything to have hiking poles at that point
