Function & Benefits of Telescopic Poles The use of telescopic poles relieves knee joints and the muscles of the legs. Scientific studies based on a mountain tour of 8 hours proved that the strain on the knees is reduced up to 250 tons. When using telescopic poles, ascending is less tiring. Arm and shoulder muscles support and relieve the leg muscles fundamentally. The regular walking rhythm with the pole leads to relaxed, calm breathing and increases stamina. Due to hiking in a more upright position, the lung function is ameliorated.
