Running is good. Many people run for health, but some people make their health worse because of running. Do you know why many people who run all the year round have broken their knees? Come on, we'll tell you what the truth is.
The first reason: the amount of running is huge
As long as you run much, you will definitely encounter a knee injury. Remember, no? Maybe? I'm sure I will. No matter how we do warm-up and prevention work, as long as we run too far and the task is too big, we will encounter different degrees of knee injury, which is certain. Some injuries and injuries are inevitable. What we have to do is to avoid major injuries as much as possible and minimize major injuries through our own prevention.
If you don't want to take too many preventive measures, or you don't want to have any minor injuries, you can also reduce the amount of running and make the amount of exercise less than the amount that can cause injuries, so it is difficult to cause any injuries. After all, running too much is easy to do harm to our bodies, and it will also affect the normal operation of our bodies.
I often meet athletes who run ten miles a day. However, if they run ten kilometers a day, there will definitely be problems with their knees. Such a large amount of running is the sport of professional athletes, and professional athletes have sports injuries. As for those friends who spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, you don't have to worry. Running occasionally won't hurt your knees.
The second reason: don't warm up before running.
Not warming up before running is also a common mistake, but many people still make it. Then why does everyone know the danger of not warming up, or not warming up? We are here to summarize the reasons for you. We commit crimes on purpose because of luck.
What is luck? There is a risk of injury if you don't warm up, but you may not get hurt if you don't warm up. So many people will be lucky to omit this preparation step. Many hazards of insufficient warm-up are accumulated again and again, and the hazards are not obvious, so many people naturally don't take it seriously, but when they finally realize it, it is already too late, and a few people even feel that it is a little difficult to walk.
The third reason: the running place is not good.
Running in a bad place, if not suitable, can easily lead to many unspeakable problems. When we are running, the hardness of the ground directly determines our impact on our knees. If the runway is too hard, there will be some problems with our knees sooner or later. The best runway is a plastic runway, but if there is no such condition, we can put a knee pad on our knees to help reduce the impact.
The fourth reason: the running posture is wrong.
Incorrect running posture is also a common and easy mistake. Incorrect running posture will naturally damage the health of the knees. In running, our pace is just right, the upper body is straight and slightly forward, the lower body is stable, and the hind foot touches the ground first.
