It is important to keep running, but it is more important to master the correct posture. What kind of "running" can be called "healthy running"
1. Head and shoulders: Head up, chest out, abdomen in, body leaning forward slightly, shoulders relaxed and swinging naturally. The spine is straight.
2. Arm: Take the shoulder as the axis, swing your hands back and forth with the swing range not exceeding the body center line, and relax your fingers and wrists, so that the elbow joint forms an angle of about 90.
3, the body: keep upright, is conducive to maintaining balance, breathing and stride. Don't shake your torso from side to side or fluctuate too much. Actively send your hips when your legs swing forward, and pay attention to the rotation and relaxation of your hips when running.
4. Legs: The thighs and knees are forced forward, not upward. Toes and knees should not be biased to the inside or outside, otherwise they will be easily injured. Always face straight ahead during the whole exercise.
5, feet: the stride should not be too large. If the stride is too long, in addition to the calf stretching too far forward, it will follow the ground with its feet, resulting in a braking reaction. A large stride will bring greater impact to the ground and cause great damage to bones and joints.
So, how is the correct running posture practiced? In addition to taking correct movements as the basic essentials of training, we should also practice running posture in a targeted manner at ordinary times. Mainly recommend the following exercise methods:
1. Knee high: the upper body is upright, swing arm, and the thighs are alternately lifted left and right, so that the thighs are lifted to the height parallel to the ground as far as possible, and immediately relaxed after lifting, and the feet that land remain soft and elastic, so that the feet bounce up immediately after landing, instead of stepping heavily on the ground; At the same time, pay attention to the stability and balance of the upper body, and don't swing from side to side to raise your legs.
2. Fast feet: similar to the action of lifting legs, but you don't need to raise your legs; In the case of stable movements, move forward alternately as quickly as possible, regardless of the speed of progress. The key point is to keep the high step frequency and coordinate the left and right steps. This exercise can train coordination and reaction ability, and help you learn to relax your feet.
3. Skipping rope: Just like we run and jump home happily after class in primary school, with a little run-up, we can swing back with our arms and jump forward and upward. After landing, we can switch legs directly or take two steps before the next jump.
4. Stride running: its name, brisk running means easy and fast running, which is a short-distance running practice; After full warm-up, start with high-frequency small steps, gradually increase the amplitude of legs and swing arms, and improve the speed. Pay attention to stable running posture, steady pace and relax during the process. Don't rush forward desperately, just run for about seven or eight minutes.
People are born to run like animals, but the posture suitable for cheetahs may not be suitable for antelopes. Even top marathoners, their movements are not highly consistent. Excessive pursuit of elegant running may be at risk of injury. You don't have to stick to the book-like running posture, but find a suitable balance between professionalism and comfort.
