of a runner, the angle at which a person bends their torso forward while running affects the risk of trauma and injury in running. Researchers have found that when people lean too far forward while running, their feet they hit the ground harder, increasing stress not only on the feet themselves, but also on the hips, knees and legs, resulting in a greater risk of wear and tear from overuse.
Many people consider running an "activity that takes place mainly from the waist down. According to the research, however, the upper body also plays an important role in carrying out this activity: the angle of the torso, in fact, affects the way in which the runner runs and the likelihood of developing injuries. The authors found that even small changes in trunk flexion can have a profound effect on the movement, or "kinematics," of the lower limbs and how hard they hit the ground while running. Leaning too far forward while running therefore increases the chances of developing overuse injuries.
iliotibial band, plantar fasciitis, patellar femoral syndrome. In running, the more inefficient you are, the more likely you are to create a situation of overuse and stress injuries.Also, leaning forward changes the position of the runner's foot and the position of the lower limbs, causing them to hit the ground harder. Finally, it leads to a more flexed "hip and a more bent" knee joint while running.
