Hyrox is an explosive mix of endurance, power and functional movements (wallballs, lunges, burpees broad jump). And with all those kilometers to run, lunges and repetitive movements… your knees take a lot of punishment.
So a little advice from the French accessory manufacturer: you need to preserve your joints, to improve your stability and gain in performance, and we’ve got just what you need. WODANDGO knee pads could become your best ally on your next Hyrox.
Why wear knee pads during a Hyrox race?
1. To protect your joints from repetitive movements
Between the walking lunges, broadjump burpees and wallballs at the end of the course, the knees are under constant strain.
A well-designed pair of knee pads goes :
- Reduce impact and tension on tendons,
- Stabilize the joint,
- Help you maintain good posture throughout the movement.
2. To keep the heat in your knees
Maintaining warmth in the joints helps prevent injury, especially during long, intense exertions like the Hyrox.
3. For greater efficiency
Yes, knee pads aren’t just a “cushion”. They’ll give you a slight bounce during your squat, so you’ll be able to do more repetitions. They also improve your perception of posture and movement.
The result: fewer placement errors and greater efficiency.
