Discussing the health benefits of barefoot adaptations and how they transcend as good forefoot running mechanics.
Barefoot running is safe, and is actually safer than the most cushiest running shoe! There’s converging evidence from multiple lines of research showing that running barefoot produces the most optimal coordination of safer, more efficient mechanical outputs that do more to protect you from injury than in running thick cushioned running shoes.
The muscles and nerves deep within the foot improve in strength best with increased barefoot activity but progressively dengerates with routine use of thick cushioned running shoes.
Barefoot running switches on a range of nerve, reflexive and mechanical responses that prevent underfoot pressure from rising to damaging levels which reduces the risk of severe foot injuries vs thickly cushioned running shoes.
Because running shoes interferes with proprioception, my focus is on how reduced sensory traffic effects proprioceptor density and signaling in shod runners.
How long does it take for a heel strike runner to fully transition to forefoot running or for a habitual shod runner (a runner who […]
