Improve Your Running Mechanics!
(CONTINUED FROM OUTSIDE)
have been noticing increased fatigue while running and can tell that you’re not striking your heels first on the ground, try to ease yourself into heel striking by starting your run on the heels of your feet, rather than your toes. It may help boost your energy and help you perform better! If you’re not sure how your feet hit the ground, come to ProMotion Rehab and Sports Medicine and one of our physical therapists can take a look at how you run and give you some pointers. 4. CADENCE. A recent research article published in the National Institutes of Health analyzed the effects of cadence (i.e. how fast or slow steps are) on a runner’s likelihood of sustaining an injury. Forty-five healthy runners were studied to determine how differences in cadence affected loading or pressure on the hip and knee joints. Results concluded that a quicker cadence “generally leads a runner to hit midfoot compared to runners with longer strides.” Hitting the ground with your midfoot first can potentially cause pain or injury. To improve your cadence, try making your strides longer to help prevent injury!
