Injury Prevention Brochure Cover
Physiologically, running is a pre-programmed neuromuscular movement pattern which controls the manner in which move. This pattern is usually learned early in life, and is continually refi ned to adapt to our activity levels and actions.

As we improve, though, we continually uncover questions about our gains.
  • Is running a learned skill?
  • Can we consciously improve our running style, and will this make us run faster?
  • Can we decrease the likelihood of our bodies becoming injured?
  • Is there a direct relationship between technique, injury prevention, conditioning, and performance?
The resounding answer to all of these questions is yes. Most important to note is that technique, strength and conditioning, and injury prevention are very strongly associated.
