From what I hear and I may well be mistaken, a knigget would train for most of his time in his armour, and would be well used to the weight and heft of it by the time a battle came around. On this great show that used to be on, called "Conquest" one of their shows was about how to defeat an armoured knight and they showed that a man in armour made specifically for him, trained it in extensively and used to its litt e"quirks" was actually surprisingly agile and could get up relatively easily if knocked down. Maybe not fast enough to dodge an angry peasant from getting a good kick in his nadgers, or a rock to the head but thats why you got a codpiece and a helm, mate! One of their guys, I think , was in plate armour, got knocked over and got up, unassisted.
