Barefoot Running: A New Subculture
Many people, including runners who do not know that there is a small but significant subculture of serious runners, running barefoot. While you can expect these runners on the beach or in areas with a soft composite tracks to be found, you’d be mistaken. These runners train on asphalt and concrete, and even competing in road races. Advocates of barefoot marathon runners and triathletes and to find that they hav Emor stability and fewer injuries than running barefoot, where they undergo during walking in shoes
So what is the controversy? Why not go all if they walk barefoot? That is the dilemma I turn my face: How can I in good conscience, a podiatrist focusing on runners and sports medicine, said people who run on hard surfaces, without the protection of a shoe or support from an orthosis is to do in order. This is contrary to most of my training and safety contrary to common sense. A shoe, after all absorbs shocks and cushion the blow of an unforgiving surface.
The most famous barefoot runners are the Kenyans, who always international front-of-the-packer in most marathons. Inspired by the Kenyan athletes, Josh Stevenson made international news in February 2009 by the end of the grueling race and New Zealand Coast to Coast multi-sport event during barefoot. It was his eighth time here in the race, and he went with the attitude “If I do it in bare feet, hopefully I can inspire other people to do it in shoes.” He also said that he would not compete barefoot again.
This is not the true position of the barefoot runners. They run in all weather conditions and some wear waterproof socks in cold weather, others barefoot, despite the climate or the surface. Many offer great benefits of running barefoot, such as back injuries, a visible increase in arch height. There are shoes like the Nike Free and Vibram Five Fingers, which are used for either single people running barefoot or with a barrier when an environment is simply too dangerous, while able to run barefoot.
If you walk barefoot intrigue, you should try it? So everything in moderation can not hurt. My recommendation is to try a controlled surface, like a rubberized track and see how you do it. Barefoot runners will say that such a surface is not good and a smooth concrete surface is best. I respectfully disagree. Barefoot Running make a very significant change in mechanics, so you need to make in it. The relocation of shoes to run barefoot, you are quickly in the risk of injury.
There are those however who do not even attempt to run barefoot. People with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy or other medical conditions that should be in a numbness in the feet or a reduced immune system, do not walk barefoot, under any circumstances. One of the stated advantages of barefoot running is the runner with an increased feeling of having their feet so that they run “easier.” If there is a medical problem that ensures a decrease of sensation, these benefits are nullified. In addition, the inability of a runner is not acutely believe that their surface area will open to injury as well as additional risk he did not feel a sharp object and then. This can lead to infections and represents the leg in danger.
Runners who have very significant mechanical problems or deformity, such as previous foot surgery on bones, clubfoot, injuries to tendons or even extremely flat or high-arched feet should exercise extreme caution if you try to walk barefoot. The unique biomechanical conditions in these situations, there are barefoot put runners on the risk of further injury. Serious barefoot runner can not agree, but the mechanical imbalance tightened in those feet in barefoot running.
A significant concern is to run barefoot with different surfaces. A loose gravel is a risk, a central theme in the foot. A path is an area of branches and sharp rocks that can cut and embed them in the foot. Even a safe and flat surface can be moving stones and glass shards that can not be seen. Every place that you run barefoot, or even be investigated in order to avoid such dangers.
As with any new activity, you should go into a slow and cautious manner. In something as relatively extreme as barefoot, should exercise caution. If you notice problems on the road, you should visit your podiatrist.
