What is the correct running posture on a treadmill?

Nowadays, many families with good financial conditions even have their own gyms at home, and treadmills have gradually entered many ordinary families. With a treadmill, some people who like running no longer need to go outside to run, they can do running exercises at home. However, many people may not be very familiar with the running posture on a treadmill. So, what is the correct running posture on a treadmill? Regarding this issue, please see the following introduction.

Some people have the habit of hunching their backs while running, which causes the center of gravity to tilt forward. This will increase the pressure on the lumbar spine and cause lumbar strain over time. In addition, the shock of falling when running brings an impact force to the soles of the feet that is about 5 times the body weight. The forward tilt of the center of gravity will bring greater impact force to the leg and foot joints, which will cause discomfort over time. Therefore, when exercising on a treadmill, you must tighten your abdomen, chest, and waist and back muscles.

Incorrect arm swinging can also cause physical discomfort. Do not swing your arms left and right, as this will cause your center of gravity to swing left and right, which will have an adverse effect on your knee joints. Swing your arms back and forth when exercising on a treadmill.

If someone makes a very loud noise when running, it is most likely because they land directly on the soles of their feet. When the soles of your feet land directly on the ground, the reaction force of the ground on the human body will be transmitted to the spine and brain through the bones. This is why some people feel uncomfortable in their head after exercising on a treadmill. You should follow an arc-shaped transition from the heel to the sole of the foot and land as gently as possible.

Generally, heart rate can be detected on a treadmill. Generally, the target heart rate is calculated according to the Karlsruhe formula, that is, target heart rate = [(220-age)-resting heart rate] × (50%-70%)% + resting heart rate. Resting heart rate is the number of pulse beats in one minute when people are in a calm state. If your heart rate exceeds your target, you need to adjust your exercise intensity, otherwise it may cause some sports injuries.

What is the correct running posture on a treadmill? I have briefly introduced to you some aspects of treadmill running postures, and now you should have some understanding of them. When using a treadmill, you must concentrate on running and not do other things while running to avoid unexpected situations due to inattention.
