How to do the basic running movements more standardized

Exercise helps to improve physical fitness, enhance immunity and prevent the occurrence of some common diseases. For example, running is a very simple and well-promoted fitness exercise. There are many people running every day in playgrounds and parks. People's running postures are varied, and many people's movements are not standard. So, how can we perform the basic running movements more standardized? Regarding this issue, let’s take a look at the introduction below.

Stand upright with your torso slightly leaning forward, looking straight ahead at the road about 10 meters below you.

Imagine yourself as a model with good posture. Keep your body upright and lean slightly forward, and your body will move forward naturally under the pull of gravity. If you turn the forward lean into a forward bend, you will not be able to move your body forward naturally. Looking straight ahead about 10 meters is also to maintain the torso upright and slightly leaning forward. If you look too far or too close, the body may lean back or bend forward, which are wrong postures that put excessive effort on the body.

Swing your arms up to your chest and back to your waist

In fact, girls often overlook the importance of arm swinging. When running, the body is moved forward by swinging the arms. If you deliberately stop swinging your arms, it will be difficult to increase your speed. If the swing amplitude is too large, it will easily waste physical energy, causing you to run slower and slower in the end.

Lift your knees, swing your legs, push downward and backward, relax your ankles and swing them forward, and land on the ground with the entire sole of your foot.

As mentioned before, with this running posture, most of the work of landing can be borne by the thighs. At the same time, the entire sole of the foot has a large contact area with the ground, which can effectively disperse the impact force of the foot landing when running fast.

How to perform basic running movements more standardly? In fact, running seems simple and everyone can do it, but no one pays much attention to the running posture. When doing anything, it is better to be more serious. If the movements are performed in a standard way, it can not only reduce sports injuries but also enhance the effect of exercise. Especially for professional athletes, standard movements can improve performance.
