Anatomy of Running
Anatomy of Running

Visual guide to the biomechanics of running.

If you've caught the running bug and aspire to enhance your performance or enjoy your jogs even more, "Anatomy of Running" is a trove of insights waiting for you. It's like having a coach and a physiotherapist in book form, showing you the 'hows' and 'whys' behind each stride. You might find your next run feeling different simply because you understand your body better now.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Anatomy of Running follows the format of the Anatomy of... series. The book features full-body anatomy illustrations that reveal the musculature as the body performs a running motion. By seeing how the muscles interact and which muscles activate and support the movement, readers gain a clear understanding of running and its benefits. Anatomy of Running begins with an introduction to running as a popular fitness activity, and covers: benefits of running; warming up, stretching, cooling down; equipment (shoes, heart rate monitors, pedometers); surfaces, distances, environment; muscles and ligaments used; stretches and strengthening; common injuries (identification, prevention, treatment, causes); special considerations (age, pregnancy, fitness level, health). To gain the greatest benefit, runners should combine running with strengthening exercises to improve efficiency, increase benefits, and advance speed, distance, and stamina. For those starting a program, strong supportive muscles from the beginning can reduce fatigue and discourage injuries. Anatomy of Running is an expert guide useful for anyone undertaking or improving a running program, training for a distance event, or using running as a supplement to another fitness activity. Coaches and running clinics will find the book especially useful.
