Souplesse
De façon générale, il n’est pas recommandé de s’assouplir avant un entraînement de course, spécialement s’il s’agit d’un entraînement de vitesse. Certaines études ont même démontré que le risque de se blesser pouvait augmenter si des étirements étaient pratiqués juste avant l’entraînement.
La chaussure de course
La littérature scientifique nous immerge de nouvelles informations, parfois intéressantes mais souvent contradictoires! Par exemple, Wegener publiait récemment (2008) un article sur les qualités absorbantes des chaussures et leur rôle dans la diminution de la pression plantaire et le confort qui lui est associé. Mais qu’en est-il de la réduction des blessures? Le pied trop confortable et constamment protégé ne perdra-t-il pas ses propres mécanismes de défense, comme la solidification de ses structures anatomiques et l’adaptation de ses mécanismes neurophysiologiques de protection (comportements de modération d’impact)? À l’heure des données probantes, qui ne supportent aucune intervention particulière (Richards, 2008), comment orienter adéquatement notre patient dans le choix d’une chaussure appropriée? Des réponses dans le cours post-gradué « nouveautés dans la prévention des blessures en course à pied »!

2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (for patients)
150 minutes a week of vigorous intensity activity (ex : 5 x 30 min jogging) have extensive health benefits! This document is based on the report submitted by the Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee, a group comprising 13 leading experts in the field of exercise science and public health. The committee conducted an extensive review of the scientific data relating physical activity to health. We know that sedentary behavior contributes to a host of chronic diseases, and regular physical activity is an important component of an overall healthy lifestyle. There is strong evidence that physically active people have better health-related physical fitness and are at lower risk of developing many disabling medical conditions than inactive people.
