ABSTRACT
Introduction
Running is a competitive sports activity based on speed. Its training methods aim to improve performance and physique but may lead to sports joint injuries. It is important to clarify the relationship between training methods and sports rehabilitation, including the influence of training methods on the quality of life, such as joint health.
Objective
Explore the relationship between the influence of running training methods on joints and their sports rehabilitation.
Methods
44 running athletes were randomly divided into two groups. The joint and rehabilitation indices of the hip, knee, and ankle joints were recorded and statistically analyzed.
Results
The range of flexion and extension in the sagittal plane, the range of internal and external rotation in the horizontal plane, and the running performance of the knee joints of the athletes who received the variable speed running training were improved, indicating that the running training mode improves the joint performance and sports rehabilitation level of the athletes.
Conclusion
The appropriate running training method has a beneficial effect on the state of the joints in its athletes, including in the rehabilitation process. This effect is reflected in the physical parameters and the athlete’s competitive ability. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
