Here are the different points most runners want to consider in order to increase their performance while minimizing the odds of getting injured. 1. The

A non-traumatic knee problem is, most of the time, linked to something happening upstream – the hip – or downstream – the ankle. To keep

Running mechanics have often been cited as potential causes for running-related injuries. It is believed that altering one’s mechanical pattern may lead to reduce the

Torsional forces commonly happen during running, and their increase is believed to be associated with higher injury risk. The measure of such forces during the

There are very few scientific proofs about the reliability and validity of hip and pelvic alignment measures. A longer or shorter leg has often been

The first 20% of the stance phase – from landing to toes-off – relies predominantly on our quadriceps and gluteus muscles. They prevent the knee

Over the past 20 years, the hip joint has been focused as a key injury predictor. When the knee flexes, internally rotates and abducts during

There is a hole in scientific research when assessing our knee muscles. While the quadriceps and hamstrings have been studied quite extensively, others, like the

It has been discussed for a long time that our pelvis/hip structure may influence the running-related injury rate.   An increase of the Q-angle –

Several muscles cross the knee, to provide dynamic control and stability. Hamstrings and quadriceps are key muscles with our gait. The main reason being most

During foot pronation, with the rearfoot fixed to the ground, your leg will usually follow the movement of your upper ankle. It means that the
