(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 29, 2016 ) Beaverton, Oregon -- Elite Sportz Equipment, a manufacturer and retailer of fitness equipment, has recently published a blog post with information that can help runners improve their overall performance when training and during races.
Running is one of the most popular forms of cardiovascular exercise and is an effective way to condition the heart and lungs, lose weight and build muscle in the lower body. Unfortunately, running is also a high impact form of exercise, meaning that it places stress on the joints.
Many runners will suffer from pain and injuries over the course of their lives. In fact, many studies show that people sustain an average of 2 to 12 injuries for every 1000 hours of running. The knees are the part of the body most vulnerable to injury, and one of the most common problems is runner's knee, chronic pain that occurs when the knee is bent.
Research into the causes of runner's knee is ongoing, but scientists have found a link between weak hips and the injury. The article "5 Exercises to Strengthen Your Hips for Better Running" recently published by Elite Sportz Nutrition explains the connection between hip weakness and knee injuries and then provides advice for runners on how best to strengthen their hips to reduce their risk of injury.
After a detailed explanation of the importance of hip strength for runners, "5 Exercises to Strengthen Your Hips for Better Running" shares five easy-to-execute exercises that runners can do regularly to strengthen their hips. Each exercise is explained in detail to help readers complete them correctly, and the moves can be done at home safely. The article concludes with the other benefits associated with stronger hips to help readers see the value in committing to a hip strengthening workout routine.
The blog post "5 Exercises to Strengthen Your Hips for Better Running" is free to access and read on the Elite Sportz Equipment blog. (www.elitesportzequipment.com)
