What is a healthy way to run?

When it comes to running, many people will sneer at it, because they think running is a sport that any child can do, so there is no need to talk about any method. But there are actually certain methods for running. Although everyone is running, if the running method is incorrect, it will cause muscle stretching and may also cause some sports injuries. Only by mastering the correct method of running can we exercise better. So what is the correct way to run?

1. Land softly

Some people hear a clicking sound when they run. This is because the soles of their feet touch the ground at the same time without letting their feet land softly. In fact, the correct way should be to land on the heel first, then the sole, and finally the toes. The key is to stretch the knee joints and relax the ankle joints.

The soft landing and lifting of feet and legs are divided into three stages, namely, the landing stage, the supporting stage, and the lifting stage. During the landing phase, you should make full use of the hip and knee joints to control the heel and land softly. During the supporting phase, you should make full use of the body weight to move forward. During the lifting phase, there should be a pushing action, and the leg in the air should move forward actively, and the arms should also swing actively. If these three stages are done well, the running movement will give people a springy feeling.

2. Pay attention to upper limb movements

People often ignore the swing of their upper limbs when running. Arm swinging means that the upper limbs start from the shoulder joint, pass through the upper arm, forearm, wrist to the hand, and actively swing back and forth.

3. Pay attention to protecting the knee joint

For a long time, people have mistakenly believed that running is bad for the knee joints. In fact, this is not the case, because knee joint injuries are often caused by improper running movements, and the correct running posture can effectively prevent sports injuries.

When running, try to keep your knee movements smooth and continuous. This will make the leg movements smooth, not only making running easier but also avoiding knee sprains.

4. Pay attention to your waist posture

The waist is the central part of the body. When running, the correctness of the waist posture directly affects the running effect. The waist should be stable when running. However, the temperature of the waist does not mean that the waist is stiff and motionless. Compared with the upper and lower limbs, the waist has a very small range of motion and should be twisted naturally.
