A very interesting DVD on Running Technique
In this DVD, a running technique is presented based on the application of knowledge gained from anatomy and biomechanics. Namely, in order to learn more about a running technique, having insight into how different muscles work during running is essential. Only observing how the arms and legs move during running will provide insufficient information. One can only gain insight into the complexity of running if one understands how muscles work together as well as alone. In addition to showing how different joints can move, extensive information will be given on the structure and function of the most important muscles. Attention will be placed, for example, on variations in muscle morphology, types of muscles function and how the most prominent muscles work during running.
Furthermore, building upon this, when describing the running technique, attention will be paid to topics such as start and acceleration, high-speed and efficient running. The latter can be equated with constant low -speed running such as in the case of long-distance runners.
Two characteristic partial movements can be differentiated within the cyclical pattern of running: i.e., the up- and downward movements of the legs and vertical displacement of the body. It will be shown that an efficient technique will require that both components be optimally tuned to function together. However, such fine-tuning will place specific demands on the position and movement of the trunk, arms, pelvis and legs. The complex combined action between the trunk, arms, pelvis and legs during running will be described in detail.
An optimal running technique can only be achieved after thorough training. In order to give responsible instructions regarding technique during training, more than 100 technical exercises have been included. Moreover, several tens of analyses of running patterns for both recreational and performance runners are provided. After analysis, errors will be directly linked to relevant exercises useful for improving technique.
