WHAT ARE SOME TIPS FOR MOUNTAINEERING?

1. Firstly, we should eliminate the simple idea that hiking is just a foot movement, as it can mobilize various organs around the body to work together. Walking on foot not only requires the walker to keep his body balance and pace by swinging his arms, but also to adjust his breathing and pace in a rhythmic state during walking. The best walking speed is to walk without panting, with a pulse rate of no more than 120 beats per minute. The shoulders should be heavy and the back should be straight, and the whole foot should touch the ground. Move from heel to toe, and try to maintain a constant speed.climbing


2. When walking uphill, the center of gravity should be in front of the soles of the feet, and the body should lean slightly forward. When going downhill, the center of gravity should be placed on the back soles of the feet, while lowering the center of gravity. The body should be slightly lowered. Regardless of whether going uphill or downhill, for places with larger slopes, a "zigzag" shape should be used to avoid straight ups and downs as much as possible.


3. The rest during walking also needs to pay attention to methods, usually a combination of short and long periods, with short and long periods being limited. It is best to control a short rest during the journey within 5 minutes, and do not remove equipment such as backpacks. Instead, rest while standing and adjust your breathing.

For example, if you want to increase endurance, you can use small steps, moderate speed, and deep breathing; If you want to enhance leg and foot strength, you can take medium or large strides, moderate speed, intermittent upward movements, walk for a while, make slight adjustments, and then walk for another section; If you want to practice speed, especially for young people, you can use a medium stride, high frequency, and interval running method, that is, running a section, walking a section, running another section, and walking another section.
