Many runners have heard of this saying: Don't run on a treadmill, treadmill exercise can injure the knee!
Where does this saying come from? Who proposed it? No one can explain it clearly.
In other words, the widely circulated "folk saying" that "running on a treadmill hurts the knee" is actually without scientific basis.
As a fitness tool, the treadmill itself is neutral.
A treadmill with good shock absorption performance combined with scientific and reasonable running will not only not hurt the knees, but will protect the knees more than running on a hard concrete floor.
The shock absorption performance of a treadmill mainly depends on the design of the running board, the material composition, and the overall structural design, rather than the rubber belt that everyone often thinks.
To answer the question of whether treadmill exercise hurts the knee, from a scientific point of view, it is necessary to analyze from the perspective of the causes of running injuries;
If the running environment becomes running on a treadmill, what impact does it have on running compared to running on the natural ground?
And starting from these effects, we can verify whether the change in the running environment has caused changes in certain running factors, and whether these factors have caused an increase in running pain.
The above is the correct logic for studying whether treadmills hurt the knees.
Running pain is essentially the result of the interaction between internal factors and external load factors.
Runners with "defects" such as insufficient strength, poor flexibility, and unreasonable running posture are prone to injuries when they bear loads, especially unreasonable loads.
Therefore, from the perspective of preventing running pain, strengthening one's own capacity building on the one hand and reasonably controlling the amount of running on the other hand are the keys to preventing running pain.
