Running also requires a certain method, details determine the effect!

If you ask which sport is the oldest, I think it must be running. In ancient times, people had no means of transportation, so they could only run fast to chase prey. When they encountered danger, they also had to run to keep themselves safe. Today, running has become a popular sport. So, what is the most correct way to run?

Head and Shoulders

Running movement essentials - keep the head and shoulders stable. Keep your head facing forward. Unless the road is uneven, do not lean forward. Keep your eyes focused forward. Relax your shoulders appropriately and avoid hunching your chest. Dynamic stretching - shrugging your shoulders. Relax your shoulders and let them hang down, then shrug them up as much as possible, pause, return to the original position, and repeat.

Arms and hands

Running movement essentials - swinging arms should be a forward and backward movement with the shoulder as the axis, and the left and right movement range should not exceed the body's midline. The fingers, wrists and arms should be relaxed, and the elbow joint angle should be about 90 degrees. Dynamic stretching - raise the elbow to swing the arms. The two arms are in a preparatory starting position, one in front of the other. Raise the elbow joint of the back swing arm as high as possible, and then relax it to swing forward. As the movement speeds up, it will be raised higher and higher.

Trunk and Hip

Essentials of running action - keep upright from neck to abdomen, rather than leaning forward (unless accelerating or going uphill) or leaning back. This is helpful for breathing, maintaining balance and stride length. Do not sway your torso from side to side or rise and fall too much. Actively push your hips when swinging your legs forward, and pay attention to the rotation and relaxation of your hips when running. Power Stretch – Lunge Leg Press. Stand with your legs front and back, shoulder-width apart, and slowly press down the center of your body until your muscles are tense, and then relax back to normal. The torso remains upright at all times.

waist

Running movement essentials - Keep your waist naturally upright, not too straight. Slightly tense your muscles to maintain the trunk posture, and pay attention to cushioning the impact of your feet landing. Dynamic stretching - flexion and extension. Stand naturally with your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly bend your trunk forward until your hands hang down to your toes, hold for a while, and then recover.
