Middle distance and long distance running events are becoming very popular and are one of the fastest growing sports in the US. All-level runners participate in small and large running races multiple times a year. As a result of poor training, over training and lack of understanding of the running mechanical and physiological principles, many of these runners experience one or multiple running related injuries. Most of these running related injuries are due to repetitive and accumulative mechanical deficits during the stance phase.
With proper neuromuscular and speed training one can significantly decrease the ground contact time and as a result, the risk for these injuries. Health care professionals and coaches must have a firm understanding of the running principles in order to help patients and clients achieve their running goals while staying injury free.
