Skeletal Remains Healthy Despite a Barefoot
Not a sports shoe is no longer a reason for not doing physical activity, especially running. The reason, recent studies revealed that running barefoot is much better actually.
Run barefoot common in some areas in Africa. Almost 50 years ago, Olympic gold medalist Abebe Bikila won his first marathon barefoot. Was in the 1980s, the South African runner Zola Budd into the path barefoot.
Recently, researchers found that people who run barefoot tend to land with the ball (where the union of the toes with the feet) or in bagain feet. In this way, the runners did not shake the bones.
But, those who run with shoes tend to land on the heel. Landing like this will send a painful shock waves throughout the body.
Researchers from Harvard University and Glasgow University to analyze the style of athletes running, both wearing running shoes or bare feet.
Results showed that about 75 percent of runners who land on your heel shoes. This means that runners heels hit the ground 1,000 times per mile. This creates a huge impact pressure and sudden.
Are those who tend barefoot landing with elastic step forward toward the feet. They are leaning more toward the toes and landed with a lighter step.
These findings, bright researchers, helps explain why many runners the world with high endurance running very well with bare feet.
“The man who ran barefoot landing in a different way,” said study leader Dr Daniel Lieberman, professor of evolutionary human biology from Harvard as quoted dailymail site.
Most of the people, the light Lieberman, thinks that running barefoot is dangerous and trigger pain. In fact, you can run barefoot on the surface of the hardest painlessly.
“All you need is a little thickening of the skin. Furthermore, the risk of injury will be less than the running shoes,” explained Lieberman. source media Indonesia
