Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Runner's World Guide To Injury Prevention" by DAGNY BARRIOS to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Runner's World Guide To Injury Prevention"Browse more products related to "DAGNY BARRIOS"Publisher's noteA practical handbook for runners offers useful information and advice on how to prevent and treat injuries, including the best strength-training exercises for runners, how to cope with the mental repercussions of injury, the latest research into hydration, the use of cross-training to prevent and heal injury, stretching, and special concerns for young runners, women, and older runners. AnnotationRunners risk repetitive stress injury (RSI) that becomes magnified by the force involved in running, doubling the body weight on the foot as it hits the ground. Running on slopes or hard pavement can increase the likelihood of injury even further. On average, up to 50% of all runners can expect to experience some sort of injury in any given year. Dagny Scott Barios helps readers stay on the good side of that average by recommending a wide range of tactics, as deceptively simple as the art of learning to "listen to your body" and as complex as computer-enhanced bio mechanics. The book includes photographs and illustrations of problems and solutions, with specific chapters devoted to the problems of younger runners, older runners, and female runners. Most everyone can benefit from the practice of running, and everyone running should be looking out for ways to avoid injuries; Barios's book can help.
