Detailing the unlimited benefits of forefoot running that have proven effective for prevention of runner’s knee, shin splints, IT band syndrome, chronic exertional compartment syndrome, hip pain and back pain and how it can make a significant difference in improving economic efficiency as compared with heel strike running.
Uncovering another mechanical property of forefoot running that allows it to save more energy than heel strike running.
In forefoot running, you automatically and remarkably land with less forces of all kinds which is why forefoot running may be an excellent match for injury prevention.
Heel strike running may prevent the calves from being used more effectively as shock absorbers which may not only increase calf loading, but may amplify impact to other areas of the leg as compared with forefoot running.
Forefoot running may prevent tibial fracture by reducing opposing forces on the shins as compared with heel strike running.
Heel strike runners who suffer shin splints may benefit from switching to forefoot running because it was found to demonstrate the strong positive effect of easing physical strain off the shins, especially at faster running speeds.
2 ways landing with a forefoot strike can prevent hip pain after running.
It’s becoming more well-established that forefoot running may be the leading way to abolish your runner’s knee pain.
Forefoot running may be more economical because it may enhance spring loading in the Achilles tendon, potentially increasing spring energy which is directly related to enhanced running economy.
More evidence supports the idea that forefoot running may do more to limit injury because there’s less all-around impact stress on the body as compared with heel strike running
We know that forefoot running can significantly decrease the amounts of loading on the knee, but the mechanics of forefoot running can also help naturally strengthen the toes.
