1. Choose the right shoes
Not only according to the size. It is also necessary to consider the model of sneakers. Training versions differ from basic ones in many ways, but for joint health, the main thing is a firm foot lock and a flexible, shock-absorbing sole that makes sudden movements like jumping safer.

2. Remember to warm up and proper technique
Incorrect body positioning, such as putting your knees behind your feet or bringing them inwards during squats, leads to a redistribution of the load, and the joints have to strain more. Over time, their condition worsens. For example, improper jumping or running techniques can cause patellofemoral pain syndrome: the knee will whimper even when walking or sitting for long periods of time.
