Running not only improves cardiovascular and pulmonary function, but also enhances muscle strength. Sustained and effective jogging can also help burn energy and reduce fat. However, if your running posture is incorrect, not only will you fail to achieve the desired fitness effects, but it may also harm your health. Experts point out three incorrect running postures:
Mistake one: Landing on the full foot sole. Without cushioning or transition upon landing, it can easily shock the cervical spine, and over time may also lead to tibial periostitis.
Mistake two: Overstriding. People assume increasing stride length improves exercise effectiveness, but in reality, it results in longer airtime, greater fluctuations in body center of gravity, and heavier impact upon landing, which increases bodily shock.
Mistake three: Pigeon-toed or duck-footed running. When running with “in-toeing” or “out-toeing,” the knees and toes cannot stay aligned in the same direction, which adds extra strain on the knee joints.
