Maybe You Can Enjoy Barefoot Running

After millions of year's barefoot running, people who stepped into the educated high society made-up the shoes

. But the British "Nature" magazine published a study lately, which showed that moderate barefoot running helps your feet to touch the ground in a healthy way and also helps to form musculoskeletal health.

Harvard University and other Institutions' researchers investigated the United States and Kenya long-term runners who landed their feet on the ground. We can know from the results that people who are long-term runners with running shoes would like to use their heels to touch 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. Due to the long-term effects of the impact, it may lead to fatigue fracture or plantar fasciitis, the researchers think that the way of forepaws down will be healthier.

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. Therefore, if people can take appropriate barefoot running, they might feel more comfortable. This will also be helpful for the health of skeletal muscle. But the researchers also pointed out that barefoot may be damaged by the hard object on the ground, but this proposal can not be a reason to promote people to abandon their running shoes.

After you are accustomed to barefoot running, the ground impact and the effective mass of your foot will be reduced suddenly. 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. It is recommended that runners can choose a pair of special structure running shoes at the beginning of his barefoot running, the "virtual barefoot running shoes," which are made of 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.

It is also explained by Lee that you can choose to wear nothing on your feet, but we can not deny that it will be a practical protection if wear a pair of running shoes on feet. What we have to notice is that training course is the key. About barefoot running, what you have to know more is what kind of person are suitable for barefoot running. Barefoot running has always been a controversial problem. If you are a runner who did not encounter any problems or injuries, then this might not be designed for you. But if you have ever injured because of anterior tibiae pain or because of your wrong running way, then it may be known that barefoot running is suitable for you.
