However, the running posture shown by Gian84 is enough to make viewers worry about joint health. He also said in an interview after the marathon full course challenge that his knee health deteriorated after completing the race.
◇3 to 4 times the weight delivered to the impact leg when running...a representative disease of the popliteal femoral syndrome
Regular running improves heart and lung function and reduces body fat, triglyceride, and insulin requirements, reducing the incidence of diseases such as high blood pressure, obesity, and various cancers. However, if you warm up enough or suddenly run too hard, it can have a bad effect on joints and muscles such as the knee.
Running is an exercise that repeats jumping and landing, and when you step on your feet, an impact three to four times your weight is transmitted to your legs, so it can put a lot of pressure on your feet to your ankles, knees, and hip joints.
If a beginner unreasonably increases the running distance or speeds up, this is likely to cause joint damage. In addition, external factors such as running in hard or uneven roads, incorrect movements, and wearing general shoes other than running shoes can also cause joint damage.
A typical joint injury caused by running is the cleft femoral syndrome. The knee compression, also known as Runner's Knee, is caused by the flexion of the knee joint between the patella and the femur. The bell-shaped concave bone in the middle of the front of the knee is called the patella, and the initial pain occurs mainly after running. After that, if the symptoms worsen, pain in the front of the knee appears when bending the knee to climb stairs or hills.
Choi Chi-beom (Orthopedic Surgeon) at Ulsan Elijah Hospital's Robot Surgery Center said, `In addition to the Seulgae femoral syndrome, knee joint damage caused by running has various causes and treatment methods vary according to the cause"Usually, if the pain is left unattended after exercising too much, it can cause more damage, so if you have pain, it is a way to protect your joint health for longer by visiting a nearby orthopedic surgeon immediately."
◇Initial joint pain 'RICE therapy'...Stretching before and after running is important
In order to find the cause of knee pain, imaging such as X-rays, CT, and MRI is performed to examine knee stability, leg alignment, knee range, and tension. Drug therapy, RICE method, rehabilitation treatment, and taping treatment are performed according to the diagnosis of a specialist, and in severe cases, treatment can be performed through surgery.
The RICE method is a first aid method that can be applied to sudden injury or damage while running. Rest to minimize movement of the injured area, Ice to relieve pain, and Elevate to put the damaged area high if compression and bleeding are accompanied. It can be applied not only to the knee but also to various joint areas.
The cleft femoral syndrome can be recovered with medication and rehabilitation treatment in the early stages, but if the inflammation becomes severe or the damage to the cartilage is severe, it is effective to perform surgery through joint endoscopy.
Manager Choi said, `Rather than starting running without knowing your health condition properly due to the epidemic, you should adjust your exercise amount such as distance, frequency, and intensity in consideration of your physical strength and condition, conduct sufficient warm-up exercises such as stretching before running, and take rest after exercising," he stressed.
In addition, there are recent cases of taping on knee or ankle joints or wearing protective pads to relieve the impact transmitted to the joints, but care should be taken in use because it does not prevent the occurrence of knee joint diseases.
