Barefoot Exercise, You Can Have a Try
After millions of year’s barefoot running, people who stepped into the civilized society invented the shoes. But the British "Nature" magazine published a research recently, which showed that moderate barefoot running helps your feet to touch the ground in a healthy way and also helps to form musculoskeletal health.
Researchers of Institutions, such as Harvard University, investigated the feet touching ground situation of people in the United States and Kenya who ran for a long time. The results showed that people who ran for a long time with running shoes always land their heels on the ground at first. However, those people who often run with barefoot will let their former soles to touch the ground at first.
It can be seen from the research that if heels touched the ground at first, the impact forces your heels obtained would be three times of your body weight, even though you were with running shoes, which was also contained a cushion. However, if your former feet touch the ground at first, the impact will be reduced to only about sixty percent of body weight because of the effective cushion of tendons and joints that are come from the ankle. The researchers believe that it will be healthier if runners could use their former sole to land on the ground, because this kind of long-term impact will give rise to fatigue fracture or plantar fasciitis.
Harvard University’s researcher, Daniel Lieberman said that the ancient humans may need to chase prey with barefoot running for a long time, which evolved out of the structure of the corresponding foot. Barefoot running might be a cozy thing if people can adapt it moderately. This will also be helpful for the health of skeletal muscle. However, the researchers also showed clearly that running shoes should not be abandoned since the hard thing on the ground may do harm to your barefoot.
The ground hit and effective quality will be cu down all of a sudden after you get used to barefoot running. Your legs will also be more flexible and more natural; the focus of your whole person will be stable, just as dance freely. We must pay attention to the fact that it is easy to cause harm in the first six months of barefoot running. Runners are proposed to choose a special structure of virtual barefoot running shoes at the preliminary stage of his running course, which are shaped by using special materials. This type of shoes will allow your heels, ankles and other different parts to be flexible as barefoot, it not only can play a protective role on your feet, but also can really help you to gradually get rid of the long habit of running shoes.
Lee explains that you can not wear anything on your feet, but a pair of special running shoes really can provide you with effective protection. What we have to notice is that training course is the key. With respect to barefoot running, you need to pay attention to what sort of people is born to be barefoot runners.
