The "Foot and Ankle Research" magazine has published a new study and found that when people wear shoes, their steps will be much larger than that of barefoot. When foot touches down the ground, the force on heels will be greater. One Harvard University Human Evolutionary Biology professor called Daniel E Li Boman has completed a study. It was found through the comparison between primary and middle school students who used to wear shoes in cities and countryside students who used to walk to school on barefoot that when city students run, the touchdown point of foot will focus on heels when foot touch down the ground. But countryside students' foot touchdown point mainly would focus on the front of feet. They not only would produce apparent impact, but also would touch down the ground lighter.
It was proved by this research that it is better for human bodies to do barefoot running. Because there will be less damage while there is smaller impact force. Scientists believed that human beings are born to be suitable for running on barefoot. But the method is extremely critical, if there are slightly improper actions, and then ...
... there will be natural increase on stress fractures, muscle or tendon injuries and other dangers. It is worried by a lot of people that running will not only make knees injury, but also will lead to arthritis. But recently, the "National Public Radio" of the United States has published a study and it was found that on the contrary, running will be good for joint health. Swedish researchers have selected a group of people who get arthritis risk to run everyday, and the other group of people will not run.
It was showed by the NMR imaging technology that the cartilage health of running people has been greatly improved. This suggested that running is conducive to joint health. It was said by David Phil Johnson who was a Boston University School of Medicine epidemiologist expert that part cartilage loss will happen every year when people get to a certain age, for example, forty-year old. If your knees are OK, you can run five to six times a week at an appropriate speed, and then your cartilage and joints will be healthy. But it should be noted that if your knees have been injured, or you have ever received knee surgeries and run with incorrect postures, and then the arthritis risk will be increased.
Secondly, people who is more than nine kilograms should not do intense running. Or it will force knees to inflame, form bone spurs and accelerate cartilage loss. It is right to run with the posture of head up and be with straight and relaxed back. When feet touch down the ground, knee joints should be bend slightly. There had been appropriately ninety degrees to arm bend and spread arms to the greatest extent. What is more, we should select running programs, which are proper. In elementary stage, for instance, we can run five kilometers with ten to twelve weeks, run ten kilometers with six to eleven weeks in and intermediate stage and run ten kilometers with eleven weeks in senior stage.
