Discussing the research on forefoot and heel strike in running and how foot strike type affects performance and injury prevention.
Whats the Best Foot Strike Running Technique?
The best foot strike technique for running is the forefoot strike because it reduces nearly all the forms of impact linked to injury, even if you run barefoot on the hardest surface, you will not produce any more impact if you land forefoot-first. Conversly, landing heel-first sets off a shockwave that damages the shins, knees and even lower back!
