A long-distance runner who managed to do a marathon at the age of 23 and who suffered from repeated injuries in the leg market that made me stop dreaming about running as a professional, today I run barefoot free from injuries and I believe that this Torah should be spread widely.

Due to the injury I started reading about the subject many studies, I also went to all the forums of the most professional orthopedists in the field and the leading physiotherapists - everyone had the same answer: you suffer from shin split this phenomenon is the most common injury that causes most injuries. Actually a set of symptoms: The shin splint is a phenomenon of pain in the calf area usually on the inner medial side, which is formed due to stretching of the posterior and anterior calf muscles (and we will not go into names) which stretch on the bone membrane (periosteum) Goats in the calf area, and even dysfunction of the bone membrane which actually nourishes the bone, and may develop inflammation and not properly nourish the bone. However the most common configuration is the chronic inflammation which develops in the calf area.
The movement of the foot landing on the heel which this requires contraction of the anterior calf muscles and stretching of the hind calf muscles - the anterior muscles during the landing contracted and elongated eccentrically (causing them to stretch further and rub in the bone prey) stimulate the area , Which leads to inflammation.
2. A second cause of the phenomenon is the landing on the heel which creates a huge impact of double and triple intensity from the body weight, a procedure which creates another shock to the bone, connective tissue and joint ....
No wonder that as long as runners the phenomenon not only recurs those in intense runs it increases due to the powerful landing that increases as long as the running pace is increased.
The change:
As a curious person and no small philosopher, I did think with myself and realized that there is something wrong with the way itself but not in the direction.
A friend who told me he ran barefoot exposed me to the phenomenon, and I started reading the professional literature in the field. The answer has always been so clear but until it gets scientific recognition it is hidden, it should have been published a long time ago. Studies in the field: and the most famous of which was done by barefoot professor Daniel Lieberman from Harvard University, as well as professional bodies such as the British Journal Of Sport Medicine and of course NATURE magazine, criss MacDougal's bestselling book - born to run. And many others - all of which show the preference of barefoot running over running with shoes.
Biomechanics:
Running with shoes causes a person to land when the heel first touches the ground followed by rolling the foot, disengaging from the ground and again landing the heel and back again - this pattern of running is not the natural pattern we are supposed to land on, we land on the heel because some baseless scientific claim The natural condition and therefore the shoe companies develop soft soles, which does not prevent a massive impact. However, if you take the shoe from the person and run it, you will immediately find that it does not land on the heel. Also running with shoes causes the knee joint to be quite straight and not bent, when performing a barefoot run it is necessary to bend the knee joint slightly more than with shoes, then in fact we gain more lever which distributes the loads, and the second advantage is in bending the knee we cause muscles The twins will be a little looser then what happens is that the heel can go lower after the foot pads have touched the ground, then we gain the benefit of the landing impact constitution for a larger area and also the arch with all the ligaments and muscles in it and especially the Spring League .
