Episode notes
Symmetry and Running Form
- Running form shouldn't be symmetrical at all speeds, as intensity changes trunk angle.
- Research on running injuries focuses on association, not causation, making claims about injury reduction difficult.
Soft Landing Technique
- Chan's 2017 study suggests landing more softly while running might reduce injuries.
- This could involve shorter steps or changing foot strike, but may increase calf strains or shin splints.
Inconsistent Data and Questionable Advice
- Inconsistent injury data in Chan's study raises questions about its validity.
- ACSM's advice to avoid arm swing and increase core tension is questionable due to lack of evidence.
