Not necessarily. Of course, if you exercise improperly (such as bouncing at the bottom of a squat, in my opinion) you may injure your knees. Even assuming that you exercise properly, after several decades of training your knees may hurt a bit during exercise. This does not happen to everyone. If you always warm up properly and use perfect exercise technique, it may never happen to you. Exercise selection, too, is important. For example, it is a good idea never to do heavy leg raises because they really stress the knees.

Even if your knees eventually hurt during training, there may be ways to work around it. For example, if regular back squats hurt your knees, switch to box squats. Box squats are much more difficult, which means that you will use less weight; using less weight means less stress on your knees.

Is there any exercises to building strength in the knee quickly?

Strengthen your knees by doing traditional squats, lunges and step-ups. Strengthening muscles surrounding your knees, such as your quads, will help strengthen and protect your knees. Strengthen your quads by stretching your legs in front of you while perched at the edge of a chair. Keep your knees straight as you tighten and relax your thigh muscles.


Why do we bend our knees when jumping?

Bending our knees both contracts the hamstrings and extends the quads. This build up in tension is stored energy, when the muscles reverse, it releases that energy through our feet into the ground, propelling us upward.


What training do the racers of tour de France have to do?

I am a competitive cyclist and have followed many cyclists, and used coaches. For many it involves riding for about eight hours a day, this involves hills sprints and other during ride routines. Then there is weight, and/or resistance training. This is mostly quads, and calf workouts but a few arm ones to keep them in order. Most of the weight training is done twice a week like for say Tuesday and Saturday. Hope this helps

How do you strengthen your thigh muscles?

Squats target your thighs and gluts. Whether standing still or lunging these are great for building powerful thigh muscles. Sprinting also helps build your quads. (Ever check out the legs of any sprinters?)... :) hot! In college to strengthen my quads and therefore protect my knees, our trainer had me stand on a thick book or step with one leg and simply lower and raise my body without requiring me to bend my other leg. This is a nice way to begin building that muscle if you should have weaker knees. Lunges can be painful for someone that has bad knees...
