摘要：Running has been defined as a product of integrated movement activities performed by different joints andbody segments. Thus, an analysis of each joint and segment of motion, in addition to their relationships seemsto be useful in order to assess the entire body movement trying aid to achieve a proper running technique.For this reason, understanding how the runner’s foot makes contact with the ground during take-off andstance phases has special importance because the foot is the only body segment to directly supply force to theground during the running movement. The aim of this review is to summarise the current literature on footstrikepatterns in running. Secondly, we discussthe influence of foot-strike patterns on various aspects relatedto running performance. In conclusio, the implementation of a “Running technique-specific training” seems tobe crucial for improving performance in middle- and long- distance runners, as well Propriocetive andPlyometric training.
