Like this article, how do you guide people on the best shoe fit?
The problem is, walkers and runners face a bewildering array of choices. You can find shoes with thin soles and extra thick soles, shoes with built-up heels and shoes that are entirely flat, shoes with bouncy midsoles and shoes with motion-control—you get the picture. All of these shoes claim to help you move better and easier, so how are you supposed to know which model will be easier on your joints and help prevent injury? Trust your gut. Canadian researchers found that when people choose shoes or insoles that feel most comfortable to them, they run more efficiently and suffer fewer injuries than they do in less comfortable shoes or in shoes selected to control their foot motion.
Why? Your body has a preferred movement path—the way it wants to move most efficiently and effectively, says study author Benno Nigg, DSc, professor emeritus of kinesiology at the University of Calgary. Your central nervous system finds and monitors this movement path and lets you know you’re in it by producing a feeling of comfort—a sweet spot where everything feels like it has fallen into place. “If you put people in a shoe, they have a preferred moving path—the path of least resistance—where energy demands are lowest,” says Nigg. If you have a shoe that doesn’t work for your stride, it throws you out of your preferred movement path. “Your muscles work against it, costing you more energy, which isn’t desirable,” he adds. “Ideally you have a situation where energy demand is minimal and comfort is highest.”
Q. I am reading about the use of resistance bands for training and see them at all the big stores, on sale during the mega sale… do they help and with what?
