Check out the LEKI Makalu Lite CorTec poles. These are the poles that LEKI provided for my review. Honestly, they are the best poles I've ever owned: lightweight, flexible, easy to adjust, and the egg-shaped top to the grip is probably my favorite part. Such a pleasure on a steep descent.
Here are some articles I read about trekking poles before the interview. Although we did not discuss these findings in the episode, I found them really informative and interesting. If you are a student or instructor, you may find these valuable for your class:
- Article: The Science Behind Trekking Poles
- Article: The Science Behind Using Trekking Poles in Trail and Ultrarunning
- Review: Scientists Weigh in on the Great Trekking Pole Debate
- Here is the review article discussed above: Are Trekking Poles Helping or Hindering your Trekking Experience?
General findings include:
- You burn more calories
- You walk faster (or it feels that way)
- You take load off joints and muscles
- Counter arguments: Loading helps build up resistance to damage
- You balance better
- Counter arguments: Does this weaken your muscles?
