Tips on how to run with a forefoot strike.
Is Forefoot Running Really Best for Your Knees?
Safe and efficient knee mechanics were found to be only engaged through the use of a forefoot strike landing when running, not a heel strike. This is because forefoot striking was found to make the knee better at flexing and bending at landing, which in turn, reduced opposing forces on the knee by making the knee-joint hold more firm, while reducing excessive bouncing. Furthermore, improved knee flexion engaged by forefoot striking reduced high brake forces which resulted in little to no impact at the knee, while engaging more efficient accelerations with less muscle force generation than heel strike running.
