Researchers at Glasgow University, Scotland, found that runners who did not use an alias shoes tend to run bare feet resting on the toes or the middle of the foot. While the runners are using running shoes resting on the heel.
As quoted from GeniusBeauty, Friday (7/5/2010), the study results showed that those who ran barefoot as more secure, reducing the risk of knee and ankle injuries.
Researchers said a barefoot human foot arches become strong and serves as a great shock absorbing. But in the 70s since the first time runners using shoes, people also began to use slippers or shoes when running.
It is estimated that the runners using shoes stomping her heels into the ground about 1000 times per mile. Heel stomping tantamount to 'hit the heel with a hammer', ie sustain 1.5 to 3 times the weight.
While the barefoot runners use different techniques are more delicate, which is a smooth sliding steps.
The experts encouraged to switch to old habits, namely running barefoot. With bare feet then it could be a gradual and smooth running, because running it this way involving different muscles than running using the shoes.
Another study conducted researchers in the United States and has been published in the journal Nature also shows that barefoot runners can reduce body weight when running.
"People who do not wear shoes when running a tremendous step," said Daniel Lieberman, a researcher from Harvard University, as quoted from DailyTech.
It is important to run a long race, which explains why the performance of runners who did not use a shoe so exceptional.
This was evident at the legendary marathon runner, Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia's origin, which can win the gold medal in the Olympic Marathon 50 years ago without footwear.
