Biomechanics of Running

Introduction: Qualitative Analysis of Runs In the 1970s, thousands of people embarked on a new sports trend - running. This is easy, just place one foot as quickly as possible in front of the other. I feel burns in the chest. Sweat falls on your face. As your foot steps on the ground, every step, your knees will move. Then you are exercising. You are running. Since then, running has become a major element of sports and fitness, and in the past quarter century the number of musculoskeletal injuries by running has also increased.

Now, we will focus on the review of selected studies in running performance and injury in two major application areas addressed by sports biomechanics applications. As regards the performance, footwear will be discussed and the results of the selected injury research presented. Gender issues will be introduced. Lipsky (2001, quoted by Hennig, 2001) shows the findings on the sex-specific requirements of running sneakers. This study covered 15 women and 17 men of the same weight and height. Each subject was wearing shoes of the same size, each shoe tested five kinds of shoes. It is three types of men's shoes and two types of women's shoes. Measure ground force response, tibial acceleration, foot horn movement, foot sole pressure at eight important positions of the feet, using the Kissler force platform at the set speed

Sports biomechanics is a subfield of biomechanics, a field of human science and biological science. Basically, the focus of exercise and exercise biomechanics is to analyze the physiological mechanisms of human movement. This includes analyzing how the forces interact and the influence of these forces on the body and body. In other words, the biomechanical examination of sports explains why and how the human body moves like that. In sports such as tennis, this also includes athlete's interactions, their environment and equipment.

For you and me, biomechanics usually refers to how human muscles and skeletal systems function under different conditions. Biomechanics applies engineering principles, physics and other types of mathematical-based analytical forms to learn human capabilities and limits.
