Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Are you running properly? Less motion through the joint means less wear and tearand improved efficiency during your runs. Using a shorter stride reducesthe movement within any joint (for running, this means the jointsof the ankles, knees, and hips), and less movement means a longer,healthier life for these joints. - Head looking down- Shoulders high and tight- Leaning too far forward- Hands too tight- Arms held too tight- Hips turned out- Stride too long- Landing on heel - Looking straight ahead- Shoulders relaxed- Upright torso- Hand held in unclenched fist-Arms relaxed, swinging at sides- Hips pointing straight ahead- Legs beneath body, knees slightly bent- Landing between heel and midfoot Leaping forward while you runis inefficient and an energy drain.Instead, stand tall and lean forward,and when you feel like you are goingto fall, step forward just enough tocatch yourself. This should be thelength of your stride. It takes lessenergy to fall than to reachyour foot in front of you. Avoid striking the pavement with yourheels: save that for your power walks.When you walk, you keep one foot in contactwith the ground, while running has a momentof weightlessness in the stride. Running with aheel landing can contribute to back and kneepain. Landing on your forefoot(instead of your heels) allows yourmuscles to catch the weight ofyour body in flight, reducing the effectsof impact on the joints andbones, how can you run faster, more efficiently and avoid injury? Sources: We can improve the biomechanicalmovements for runners by teaching the bodyand the mind the correct motor patterns.When you want to change a movement in yourbody it needs to be stored in your musclememory so you can repeat without thinking,particularly when you are tired.When you perform a motion the bodysends messages to the brainin a certain sequence. To create a permanent map in your brain and nervous systemyou need to repeat this motion many times until it is ingrainedin your muscles and your brain.1. The primary objective of motor learning is to train the Movement rather than the Muscle.2. Once we have taught the movement then improving the athletic performance of a runner isimperative in the pursuit of excellence and in injury prevention.3. The neuromuscular system then has to be stimulated to recruit and contract motor unitssimultaneously and to increase the strength of the contraction. http;//
