Quote of the Week
“Running seems like a safe sport, so many people are surprised to learn that it causes frequent injuries to muscles, tendons, bones and joints. During running, your foot strikes the ground with a force equal to three times body weight, a force more than double that of walking. To convince yourself, place your hands on the huge quad muscles in the front of your upper leg while you run. Each time your leg strikes the ground, you feel the muscle shake like jelly.”
(Mirkin, Gabe M.D. “WHY RUNNING CAUSES SO MANY INJURIES.” http://www.drmirkin.com/fitness/8159.htm)
