Successful Running Research Paper
“Recent research has shown that as many as 79% of runners get injured at least once during the year,” says Coach Jeff with Runners Connect. This statistic frightens me because 8 out of 10 runners will get hurt in the next year. To be able to have a successful run, a person either has to run on a treadmill or the ground, figure out what to do when they run, and know what to do before and after they run so that they can get healthy and stay safe.
When becoming a successful runner a person has to figure out of if they prefer running on the treadmill or the ground. “A two way repeated measures ANOVA showed that running on a treadmill increases CT, modifies the pressure distribution and reduces PP, especially under the heel, medial metatarsals, and hallux, compared to running overground.” (Garcai-Perez) When you are running on the ground it modifies your pressure on your foot but, when you run on the treadmill it makes your contact time (CT) increase. “Furthermore, the contact time in …show more content…
“Make sure you warm up and stretch thoroughly before you head out. Cool your body down with light stretches when you return.” If you don’t stretch before you run you have another chance of getting hurt or pulling a muscle, which makes you not be able to run for a longer time. “Allow at least two complete rest days per week to avoid overtraining, which may cause injury. Consider other low impact activities, such as swimming, at least once each week.” If you overtrain you could get hurt but don’t just stop and not do anything you need to still do physical activity. “A beginner to exercise should start with brisk walking, progress to jogging and work up to running.” If you are a beginning to train you don’t need to start out running five miles a day, you need to start with one and work your way up. Now that you know what to do before you run it makes it easier to start the habit of
