How to correctly adjust the length of trekking poles walking sticks?
⑴
① Stand on the flat ground with a Trekking pole in hand, and then unscrew all the Trekking pole, with the arms hanging down naturally,
② Using the elbow as the fulcrum, then lift the forearm at a 90 degree angle to the upper arm,
③ Then adjust the tip of the Trekking pole downward to contact the ground;
⑵
① Place the top of the Trekking pole 5~8cm under the armpit,
② Then adjust the tip of the stick downwards until it touches the ground;
③ Finally, lock all the supporting rods of the Trekking pole
Note: The adjustment should not exceed the maximum adjustment length displayed on the Trekking pole.
Usage of Trekking pole in Different Terrain
1. The flat and gentle ascent adopts the same rhythm as the normal walking. The right arm moves forward with the left foot forward, but the tip of the Trekking pole does not exceed the front of the body, and then pushes back against the ground. The left hand interacts with the right hand to do the same action.
2. The action of leaning steep slope is the same as normal walking, but the arm should put the Trekking pole forward in front of the body, and use the Trekking pole to support the body upward to reduce the pressure on the legs. If necessary, use two Trekking pole at the same time to climb. When pushing the body upward, the palm can be placed on the top of the stick to strengthen the pushing force.
3. When going downhill, because of the large impact force, it is necessary to use the multi function telescopic trekking pole to reduce the load on the legs; The position of the Trekking pole must be in front of the body, and it must touch the ground before the front foot to achieve the effect of sharing the force. At this time, the body must lean forward. This action is not a natural action for us to go downhill, so we need to practice frequently. At the same time, we should feel how far the Trekking pole must be placed to reduce the pressure on the legs, and it will not slow down the speed and rhythm of the original travel. When necessary, the length of the Trekking pole can be increased according to personal feelings.
