Discussing the evidence-based reasons heel strike running may predispose a runner to runners knee, shin splints and long bones injuries (tibial and femur fractures) as compared with forefoot strike running.
Heel strike running may cause lower back pain over forefoot running because more impact is more highly dispersed up the lower back.
One reason heel strike running may be unsustainable from an injury prevention standpoint is that it may cause higher rates of tension and compression on […]
Many of the root causes of most running-related injuries are determined by how much a runner pronates. Pronation refers to the natural side-to-side motions of […]
The impact loads of heel strike running may increase compartment pressure in the foot-ankle complex which may persist as pain and injury as compared with forefoot running.
Heel strike running was found to significantly increase vertical peak forces on the knee which may overload the joint, resulting in pain and stiffness as compared with forefoot running.
Heel strike running was found to increase rapid contractions in the anterior tibialis (the muscle that runs down the front of the shin) which was found to be a risk factor for shin splints as compared with forefoot running.
Is heel strike running bad? The long-list of musculoskeletal stressors accompanied by the heavy impact loads produced in heel strike running may drain energy as […]
Heel strike running may be a strong risk factor for Achilles injury because it may cause excessive heel movements that may put heavy loads and bending strain on the Achilles tendon as compared with forefoot running.
Less effort devoted by the wobbling mass effect saves more energy in forefoot running than heel strike running.
When it comes to preventing impact-related injuries, research shows that forefoot running has an impressive record of producing better results than heel strike running. For […]
