Is barefoot healthier than running with shoes on?
Barefoot is healthier than running with shoes on? Since childhood, my father has always emphasized the importance of forming habits, emphasizing "sitting and standing, standing and doing everything with a look", but obviously my father's education is failing. Now I prefer kneeling in a chair to write a manuscript, or sitting cross-legged at my desk to write something, or playing games on my bed. Recently, I like a new thing: running barefoot. Needless to say, it's actually quite comfortable! My body has been entangled in one thing recently, that is, I really want to run on the company treadmill to lose weight after work. Unfortunately, I wear flip-flops everywhere from morning till night. If I wear flip-flops on the treadmill, I will definitely trip myself to death in five minutes. The history of wearing jeans to physical education class in middle school was terrible, which made me adhere to the principle that "equipment is the first thing to exercise". After a long struggle, Wei, a national second-class athlete in our class in college, asked me in confusion: "Why don't you run barefoot?" Running with shoes is easy to reduce injuries, but it is easy to cause flat feet. Teacher physical education class has been asking students to wear sports shoes to physical education class. The most fundamental reason is to prevent students from hurting their feet during running and jumping. Different sports shoes have different protective effects, but wearing sports shoes can reduce the impact on the feet and play a buffering and protective role. Besides running shoes, there are basketball shoes, football shoes, tennis shoes and other sports shoes. These shoes not only have a cushioning effect, but also strengthen certain protective functions according to the characteristics of various sports, such as anti-skid and anti-sprain. With the continuous refinement of sports events, sports equipment has become more specialized. However, due to the convenience, durability and comfort of sports shoes, many teenagers wear sports shoes almost all year round. For example, I am one of the vivid examples. My mother always feels sweaty when she sees me wearing sneakers in summer. If you wear sports shoes for a long time, the relaxed environment in the shoes will lead to the relaxation and lengthening of the ligaments in the soles of teenagers, forming flat feet. If you sweat your hands and feet like my big brother, your feet are always in this closed environment, which can easily lead to tinea pedis, dermatitis, eczema and other foot skin diseases. Running barefoot has many advantages. Running barefoot can effectively exercise calf muscles and protect ankles. When it comes to barefoot running, most folks think this is really unreliable. Since shoes are used to protect feet, if you take off your shoes, the chance of foot injury will increase. Actually, you can't say that. First of all, if you want to run barefoot, this condition is harsh. People's soles are not like animals, so it is still a little difficult to go out barefoot, so I think it is better to run barefoot indoors, thus avoiding a series of problems such as scalding blisters, being cut by broken glass and being bitten by mosquitoes when running barefoot on the concrete floor. As long as the indoor environment is well cleaned, barefoot running can avoid trauma caused by not wearing shoes. As for internal injuries, I wonder if the villagers can find out that running with shoes is different from running without shoes. Under normal circumstances, people who wear shoes will habitually follow the ground with their feet, and then the whole sole will roll around the ground from heel to toe, and then push one step with the forefoot to achieve the purpose of progress; However, in order to protect the heel and foot bones, people who don't wear shoes subconsciously run on the ground with their forefoot from beginning to end. Experimental research by Daniel Lieberman, a human evolutionary biologist at Harvard University in the United States, shows that this running method can reduce the possibility of pain and injury and exercise calf muscles. The way of running barefoot is closer to the primitive way of running, so many foreign experts think: "Barefoot is the healthiest and most natural mode in most environments and most of the time.
