Not sure about that situation, I got them because I have calf pain at times and these offer my legs a mild compression support and warmth which helps with the pain and soreness.

Yes, they would work well for long boarding for direct impacts. As the pads have 3 sections, they do a good job of wrapping above and below your patella, and thus, provide good protection. If you have long sliding fall, they might shift though, as they are held on by 2 straps (i.e., as opposed to pads that have a 'sleeve' that wraps your leg and must be slipped on over the leg). While the sleeve type of pad may provide additional protection, they would be hotter to wear and are harder to put on, and thus, people would be less likely to put them on.

Absolutely, these are meant for holding a fall while rock/ice climbing. There is no falling impact involved in a yoga hammock, so these should do the job. highly recommend using climbing carabiners for attachment (NOT plastic clips).

Yes! At least that is what my husband uses them for --he is a High School Cross Country Coach. I ordered them at his request. Hope that helps.

For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line. If you really want to invest good money into saving your knees from years of squats, I would highly recommend going the extra mile with some Rehband knee sleeves or SBD knee sleeves. However, those sleeves are only for squatting and leg lifting weight exercises and might only be worth it if you squat frequently and with heavy weights. As for sleeping, you shouldn't be wearing these or any other sleeves when sleeping, I would suggest simply letting your knee air out during and relax during sleep but if you have a knee injury that really does hurt a wrap of some sort would most likely be better for compression. Hope this helps.

not a medical expert, but it will contract your hamstring. Maybe on low power you may get relief but on full, it will probably be fairly painful.

you probably can but they have a tendency to slide from left to right on your knee if you move around too much. They would give some comfort but probably not worth the effort of keeping them straight. One of the rectangular foam pads used for gardening etc. May be a better option.

I think they'd help provide support and stability while playing tennis. They are great for lifting. I wear mine for lifting and some of my plyo and conditioning work. I don't typically wear them for long distance running. Given your recent surgery and the quick changes in direction involved with playing tennis I think these would be beneficial to you.

Sri, I won't recommend that. They are tight enough but are not meant for active work out.

I'm not certain they will help your knees and hips, but they did help my ankles stop hurting.I think they are worth a try.

I wear one because my knee was taken out by an accident. I do not wear them everyday, but when I do they help and they do no harm.

I use them for strength training on my squat/dead days and they work great. They are a level 1, so it's gives light support, but it's mainly for mild compression and joint warmth to help with blood flow. I don't have any joint issues though, so these level 1 sleeves work for me.

I bought for my hamstrings. It gave me great support and relief while using.

i usually use them on heavy bench press days and sometimes on power cleans. They work good for that. If you just do not want your wrist to bend too much, then these are for you.

They help more in a mental aspect. I've moved more weight with them on. I think it just gives more confidence that your knees will track more correctly.
