Why People Run Backwards on a Treadmill?

Article written by Rick Kaselj - rkaselj@HealingThroughMovement.com

At the gym one day I noticed all the treadmills were full, and one person stood out from the rest. Four people were running straight ahead, and the fifth was running backwards. I had never heard of anyone doing this before, and thought the person must have read an outrageous article in a magazine and thought it was the thing to do. I did some research and learned that there are a number of reasons to run backwards. (more)

Fitness & Rehab Conference Sessions

Neuromuscular Training and ACL Injury Prevention with Jessica Owen
Sunday, November 18, 2007
This workshop will provide a general overview of non-contact ACL injuries, including a review of basic knee anatomy, risk factors for these particular injuries and why preventative measures are needed. It will then summarize the current literature investigating neuromuscular training techniques in the prevention of ACL injuries. There will then be some time for practical application of some of these techniques with training routines. (more)
Biomechanical Limitations in the Female Athlete: Game-Ready/Rehab Applications for Post-op ACL Injuries with Carmen Bott
Sunday, November 18, 2007
Retrospective research has shown that female athletes are 4-6 times more at risk for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears than their male counterparts who play the same sports at an equivalent level (Myer et al 2004).
Neuromuscular training is the greatest contributor to dynamic knee stability and offers the greatest potential for intervention and prevention (Myers et al 2004). Female athletes benefit from neuromuscular training because they often display lower baseline levels of strength and power as compared to males. Training programs can be designed to reduce gender-related differences in force absorption, improve joint stabilization and correct muscle imbalances. (more)
