Braking Screen
(Overstriding)
Runner will have to work harder to overcome braking forces that are counterproductvely slowing them down.
Bounding
Energy expended to produce vertical movement isn't productive with forward movement. Minimizing vertical movement and maximizing horizontal is the key to efficiency and performance. This is a learned skill.
Twisting
There are three planes of movement. Running is primarily in the sagittal plane. Excessive movement in the transverse plane (twisting) is inefficient counterproductive to forward movement.
Who is this course designed for?
- XC Coaches
- Group Exercise Instructors
- Personal Trainers
- Military, PD, FD Physical Training Leaders
- *PT/PTA/ATC/DC*
Intended for those that are working with large groups of runners and/or do not have the ability to individually video and breakdown mechanics. No equipment is needed for assessment and correction.
*Can be a great introductory for clinicians working with injured runners to screen their mechanics to see if it could be a contributing factor.
Why you need to take this mini course
Why are so many runner's injured? Why do your patients/clients continue to have knee pain?
If you are someone that works with runner's in any capacity we owe it to them to master the mechanics. Efficiency, safety, and performance all go-hand-in hand.
This free mini course will provide you with a tremendous amount of value that will separate you apart from other coaches/clinicians. This is meant for people that don't have the time or equipment to video analyze a runner's mechanics.
These pass/fail screens can be done with the naked eye and will allow you to immediately classify runners into different efficiency faults. I will provide you with an effective coaches cue and physical drill to correct this.
Having a systematic screening process will allow you to pick up on running form inefficiencies much faster in the future. Once the runner can pass all three screens they can work on other skills.
For those that are looking to take their expertise to the next level my course Learn 2 Coach Runners: Technique and Foundations is a 6 hour online course (approved for CEU for PTs) where I will give you a more robust systematic process for capturing, classifying, and correcting various form faults.
I'll roll out a new fault each week starting 8/2/21 and include many application quizzes on my learn.2.run instagram.
I look forward to giving you some tools to further your clinical expertise in working with runners.
