I play a sport that requires me go to my knees hard and fast and then fight from a down position. Will these keep my knees safe from the fall?

Depends on the sport. Other martial arts may require more or less padding. I train Brazilan Jiu-jitsu and find that these stay on and protect adequately. Since BJJ has much ground techniques, these pads are very useful. Just be sure that you size them correctly according to the website.

It works fine for me for use in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. We use thick mats for the flooring. Not sure what sport you play but if you get slammed hard or do hard shoots you might feel it. Also depends on your knees. It does provide protection but I'm not sure what kind of sport you're referring to. Sometimes I do feel a little shock still.

Hi William - I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and we drill from feet to floor and grapple on the mat. I haven't had any knee issues when wearing these pads. I love them and will keep buying them when they need to be replaced. I hope this answers your question. Please take note that they are sold individually - so order 2!

I wouldn't run in them , I'm pretty sure they would fall off. They are just not made for high impact physical movement.

Hi, i think yes, because i play volleyboll and after every game i have sweat, first i put this protect patela after knee pad together, so is ok!!! ;)

I have these headphones and they seem to fall off my head easily. I would not recommend to use these while you play sports. I also highly doubt that they are sweat resistant.

My son and several teammates and opposing players use them for basketball and like them. As for older players I can only surmise the compression helps stabilize the knee. I wear compression sleeves myself on my knees every night and these seem of similar quality. Hope that helps

Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard... Have fallen on rocks hidden under snow without issue. I can 'take a knee' when i want to, need to. I'll not board without them.For the price, I'd suggest just trying them out. or perhaps, go to home depot, take a pair of knee pads and see if you're able to 'take a knee' without pain. I'd suspect that pain would be due to pressure of kneeling / pressure of weighting your knee, as opposed to any pressure of the ground puts on your knee. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if you were kneeling on a mattress, or concrete. Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard...

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

I think so. I have to get on my knees sometimes for my work and these really save my knees. Hope this helps.

I would say no due to the material being so soft and the mesh knee has a lot of space before actually touching the knee cap. I would suggest a brace that has metal inserts on the sides to prevent kneecap dislocations. It is what is recommended. Hope this helps.

I would think not. there is a different material underneath. I would not suggest wearing a knee brace/support other then it's original intention.

I don't know if it can prevent them, but it does help support the knee. It gives it that little extra support you may need.

Shouldn't make a difference, unless the person bruises easily. It works by cinching everything snugly just below the knee. It is adjustable, but works best when fairly snug.

Absolutely! At first they may seem very tight and restrictive as they are designed to protect your hand and wrist when you fall down on asphalt or cement which you do a lot of with street rollerskates but after a while they loosen up and your fingers can move very well but in the beginning they will be very tight.

I think they would be too thick/bulky for yoga. It would work to protect your knees but I don't think it would be good while doing the other postures unless you are taking them off and putting back on.

not really. there is quite a bit of velcro that makes them a bit stiff at the front closure. great for sparring, not so much for sleeping. my opinion

No they're not designed specifically for knee support and they're a mild compression overall. If you're serious about knee support in compression how about trying Jobst Men's Compression socks, thigh highs, or T.E.D. stockings.

If the pain is related to the movement of the joint then these would not be helpful. If you just need "impact" protection with flexibility...then they rock!!
