Running Asymmetry, Loading Rate and Injury Risk
Asymmetry in the gait is common and is assumed to not necessarily be a good thing for a unidirectional activity such as running, especially if the asymmetry is in impact loads. Various intervention strategies are often used to make the gait more symmetrical, if the asymmetry is assumed to contribute to any injury or gait inefficiency that is present. There is always a few exceptions to these assumptions by appealing to the occasional elite runner who does run with an asymmetrical gait Continue reading
Impact Reduction Through Changing to Midfoot Strike Pattern vs Low Drop Footwear
There has been considerable interest recently in altering running technique to reduce impact loads and loading rates in the belief that this might reduce injury rates. There was a recent study I previously wrote about and now there is this one : Impact reduction through long-term intervention in recreational runners: midfoot strike pattern versus low-drop/low-heel height footwear Marlène Giandolini, Nicolas Horvais, Yohann Farges, Pierre Samozino, Jean-Benoît Morin European Journal of Applied Physiology April 2013 Impact reduction has become a factor of interest in the prevention of running-related injuries such as stress fractures. Currently, the midfoot strike pattern (MFS) is thought as a potential way to decrease impact Continue reading
Impact Reduction with Chi Running
When new research is published, its always intriguing to watch how different communities respond to it and the interpretation or spin that gets put on it¹. I already discussed the The ‘Running Shoes Causing Knee Osteoarthritis’ Debacle in a previous article and how the spinning and re spinning of false headlines lead to a myth Continue reading
