What is the running breakdown?

Although everyone thinks running is a very simple sport, when a group of people run together, you can find that everyone's running postures are varied. Some people's running posture makes people feel funny, this is because many people are not very clear about what the standard running posture is. So, what is the running breakdown like? Regarding this issue, please take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Head and Shoulders

Key points of running and walking: 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 and walking - 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.

Dynamic stretching - raise your elbows and swing your arms. Place your arms one in front of the other in a ready-to-start position. Raise the elbow of your back arm as high as possible, then relax and swing forward. As the movement speeds up, lift higher and higher.

Torso and hip

Key points of running and walking - keep upright from the neck to the abdomen, instead of leaning forward (unless accelerating or going uphill) or leaning backward. 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.

What is the running breakdown like? The above are some standard movements and postures for each part of the body when running. You can take a look at them carefully. If you find that some parts of yourself are not up to standard, you can correct them in time when you practice running next time. If you adopt a more scientific running posture when exercising, it will not only better protect your body, but also improve the effect of exercise.
