What are the contents of running action breakdown

Although everyone is familiar with running, and in physical education classes, we spend some time running to warm up in almost every class. Everyone's running posture is very casual. In fact, many movements are not sufficiently labeled. Some teachers usually do not give everyone a systematic introduction to the standard running movements. So, what is the breakdown of running movements? Regarding this question, let’s take a look at the introduction below.

Head and Shoulders

Key points of running movement - keep your head and shoulders stable. Keep your head facing forward, do not lean forward unless the road is uneven, and keep your eyes focused straight ahead. Relax your shoulders and avoid hunching your chest. Power stretching – shrug. Relax your shoulders and let them drop, then raise them as high as possible, pause, return to the starting position, and repeat.

Arm and Hand

Key points of running movement - arm swing should be a forward and backward movement with the shoulder as the axis, and the left and right movement range should not exceed the midline of the body. The fingers, wrists and arms should be relaxed, with the elbow angle at approximately 90 degrees. When swinging forward, it should be slightly inward, and when swinging back, it should be slightly outward.

Key points of running movement - keep upright from neck to abdomen, instead of leaning forward (unless accelerating or going uphill) or leaning back. This is conducive to breathing, maintaining balance and stride. Don't let your torso rock side to side or move up and down too much. Actively push your hips forward when swinging your legs forward, and pay attention to rotating and relaxing your hips when running. Dynamic stretching - lunge and leg press. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart, slowly press your body down until your muscles are tense, then relax. Keep your torso upright at all times.

waist

Key points of running movement: keep your waist naturally upright, not too straight. Keep your muscles slightly tense to maintain your torso posture while paying attention to cushioning the impact of your feet landing.

Thigh and knee

The key to running movement is to swing your thighs and knees forward instead of lifting them up. Any lateral movement of the leg is unnecessary and can easily cause knee injury, so the forward swing of the thigh should be straight. Dynamic stretching - forward bending. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Put your hands behind your head. Flex the body forward from the hip joint. Keep your back straight until you feel tension in your biceps femoris.

What are the contents of running action breakdown? Now everyone should have a better understanding of the breakdown of running movements. Regarding the above content, you can also compare it with your usual running movements and correct some of your incorrect running postures. Although running is very simple, everyone should try to standardize their running posture.
