This no-nonsense guide shows you how an understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, coupled with the latest strengthening exercises and rehab protocols, can keep you running injury free for a long time to come. Each time your foot hits the ground while running, an impact force averaging three times your weight travels through your body at more than 200 miles per hour, causing your bones to vibrate and tendons to stretch. When you consider the average runner strikes the ground more than 10,000 times per hour, this translates into a remarkable amount of force that needs to be absorbed, and explains why nearly 50% of recreational runners are injured each year. The purpose of this book is to show you that impact forces are not necessarily harmful. By modifying your running form and doing specific exercises to improve tendon resiliency, not only can you effectively absorb these forces, but you can also store and return a significant percentage of them in the form of elastic recoil. Besides reducing your risk of injury, efficiently storing and returning energy can allow you to run faster with less effort. With more than 200 illustrations and 300 references, this book reviews how to: * Perform an at-home gait analysis to make specific changes in your running form that can reduce impact forces and improve performance. * Decrease your risk of injury by identifying problems with strength, flexibility, and/or neuromotor coordination using specific functional tests. * Incorporate new exercises to enhance the storage and return of energy in your tendons. * Select the running shoe that is right for you. * Treat 25 of the most common running-related injuries with the most up-to-date, scientifically justified treatment protocols available.

Recensione

For anyone serious about their feet and running biomechanics, this is a truly brilliant book. It is very helpful because of its clear explanations, depth of research, and discussion of different kinds of running and different kinds of shoes, including barefoot and minimalist running. --Amazon.com. Review of the first edition.

What happens when a doctor combines 30 years of front line experience with the latest research? Real answers, that's what! I have been running for decades and have read countless books and articles, but this one is the best. This doctor helped me determine what type of shoe is best for my feet and what type of running form is best for my feet and body type. Perfect! --Amazon.com. Review of the first edition.

Injury-Free Running provides clear, thorough information on how to minimise the time lost to injuries. Dr. Michaud addresses a wide range of topics ranging from the basic motions involved in running to current trends in running shoes. Numerous illustrations of recommended stretching and strengthening exercises are especially helpful. While the text isn't "dumbed down", it is easy reading for anyone with the most basic understanding of anatomy. --Amazon.com. Review of the first edition.

Libro fantastico! Illuminante!

Recensito in Italia il 12 gennaio 2023

A differenza di molti altri testi di questo genere, che sono pieni di chiacchiere e ripetono e allungano il brodo senza aggiungere nulla a quanto si sa già sul correre, questo testo é veramente interessante. All’inizio spiega chiaramente la bio meccanica della corsa, poi spiega quali sono le possibili modalità per avere infortuni e infine fornisce suggerimenti su come prevenire infortuni. Aggiornatissimo (si parla di scarpe minimaliste, normali e massimaliste come ad esempio le Hoka).
Veramente una lettura utile per chi si avvicina alla corsa e anche per chi corre da tempo.

The best running book I own, hands down!

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 gennaio 2024

Acquisto verificato

I am a life long runner who has had many injuries over the years. Now, at the age of 50, after two recent falls while running, I’ve been told I have a hip impingement (FAI), and that my previous level of activity will not likely be achievable. I’m crushed. For years, I have mistreated my body by “running it into the ground”, by not understanding a proper gait, or stretching or strengthening, or addressing trigger points. And now I’m paying for it. This book is AMAZING. I’m learning all of the stuff I should have paid attention to years ago. There is so much good information packed into this book, and the illustrations are perfect. I have everything I need to help me draw up a plan to get back to health! Highly highly recommend.

Clear evidence based and innovative advice suited to practitioners and athletes

This 2nd edition is a wonderful update to one of the best books on the subject of managing common injuries in runners. It takes all of the best clinically effective treatments for each injury and presents them in the most useful way that they can be applied.

This book is a veritable cheat sheet for practitioners as well. No one can stay abreast of all the information available, even if you are running coach or sports practitioner. This book is both a reminder, prompter and educator for everyone involved in running injury management.

TONS of information, great diagrams of muscles/tendons/ligaments/bones

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 luglio 2021

Acquisto verificato

This book has an amazing amount of information, and so many helpful anatomy diagrams! Dr. Michaud has done an excellent job collecting the information you need to understand the biomechanics of running, and how to prevent and treat injuries. This second edition adds a new chapter about gait analysis, an updated chapter on running shoes, and updates to the final chapter about injury prevention and treatment protocols.

Chapter 1 is an anatomy review. There are many pages of diagrams, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and nerves; with cross-sections and excellent informative descriptions. Chapter 2 goes over the biomechanics of walking and running. Chapter 3 identifies risk factors that can contribute to injury. Chapter 4 includes exercises and stretches to help prevent injury, as well as a gait analysis test that you can do at home. Chapter 5 discusses different types of running shoes, and gives some recommendations about factors to consider when selecting the best shoe for you. Chapter 6 covers treatment protocols for a variety of different injuries.

I was so impressed with the labeled diagrams of the connective tissues of the legs and feet, and also the various pictures demonstrating running-form issues that can cause injuries. This book gives you so much information, starting with anatomy down to the cellular level, so you can learn how to keep yourself injury-free for years to come.
