How can I run without hurting my knee?
1. Choose the right running shoes
Everyone’s feet are different, and shoes that fit one person do not necessarily fit another. The best way is to go to a professional running shoe store and buy suitable running shoes under the guidance of professionals, but not everyone can do this. It should be noted that inappropriate shoes will not only affect running performance, but may also cause injuries.
2. Warm up before running
Before running, do a good warm-up exercise, move all the joints of the body, relax the muscles, and then start running, so as to avoid joint and muscle injuries.
3. Keep correct running posture
It is very important to keep correct running posture during running. If the posture is correct during running, every step will improve the knee joint. If the posture is not correct, every step may impact the knee joint and aggravate the knee joint injury. Therefore, if you want to run for a long time, it is recommended to correct your running posture under the guidance of experts. Professional running posture is to maintain the correct and appropriate position from head to toe.
4. Pay attention to the strength of touchdown
If the foot hits the ground too hard, it will easily impact the knee, which will damage the knee in the long run and increase the probability of injury. Therefore, in the process of running, you should pay attention to stepping on the ground gently to prevent excessive impact on your legs and knees and protect your knee health.
5. Act according to your ability
Some people think that the longer you run, the better. In fact, this is wrong. When you can’t keep running, stop. Don’t insist. Running is for fitness, not for personal injury. If you run reluctantly, it will hurt all parts of your body. It is also recommended that you take protective equipment when running, and the heart rate should not exceed 140 when running, which is not only for the protection of knee joints, but also for the protection of cardiopulmonary function.
