Accurate running posture

Correct posture for running:

1, keep your back straight and your upper body in a line.

During running, you need to straighten your torso, make your back stand comfortably, and always maintain the "running height" during running. Keep your head, neck and back in a straight line, keep your eyes straight ahead, and don't look down or glance back and forth, which determines the efficiency of your running. Some fans, especially teenagers, like to shake their bodies from side to side when running, which makes them feel "energetic". In fact, this will not only increase unnecessary physical exertion, but also destroy the linearity of running; In order to attract customers, some gyms install televisions in front of treadmills for exercisers to watch. As the saying goes, "before it is too late" will make exercisers look up and reduce safety.

2. Relax your shoulders and arms.

Keep your upper body posture, shoulders are the key. Although running is the exercise of the lower body, the movement of the arm is not dispensable, and the back and forth swing of the arm can give you the motivation to move forward. The best posture is to relax your shoulders and droop naturally. When running, your shoulders should be horizontal, your arms should be slightly flexed naturally, and your hands should be half clenched. The arm should swing back and forth as much as possible with the pace. When you are tired from running, be careful not to shrug your shoulders. You can shake your shoulders and relax.

3, the hips should be nervous, and the leg lifts should be moderate.

Hip is the center of body strength and the strongest muscle of human body. Keeping the correct body posture can make the hips highly tense and give the body a continuous motivation. If you bend forward or lean forward too much during running, your pelvis will also lean forward, which will put pressure on your lower back.

For fitness runners, leg lifts should be moderate and should not blindly pursue stride and frequency. They should choose an appropriate stride and try to keep each foot directly under their bodies. When people start running for fitness, they always like to increase their stride to improve the exercise effect. In fact, increasing the stride will inevitably lead to long flight time, large fluctuation of the center of gravity and heavy landing force, which will increase the vibration to the human body and bring unnecessary harm over time.

5, the foot landing posture should be correct.

When running, it is especially important to land your feet. Touch the ground with the heel and middle sole, then roll your feet forward quickly, and then push the forefoot off the ground. Don't make your feet too loud when you land, but be light and elastic.

Many people are used to touching the ground with all their feet when running. In fact, this landing method is not scientific. Because there is no buffer when landing, it brings great impact to the body, especially when running on hard ground such as asphalt road. Avoid internal and external opening. When running, the foot touches the ground in an "inside figure" or an "outside figure", so the knees and toes can't keep the same direction, which will increase the burden on the knee joint, and in the long run, it will easily cause damage to the knee joint and other parts.
