Core stability refers to the ability of the lumbar-pelvic-hip muscle complex to maintain control of the lower trunk movement and stability within the lumbar vertebrae when there is skeletal stress. There remains a common misconception that strengthening the core means repeated sit-ups or crunches. However, there are several alternatives to maintaining strength in the core.

The following are some examples of some core exercises categorized in the motion that they resist.

🟢Plank (progressions/regressions)

🟢Dead bug

🟢Stability ball rollouts

Anti-Rotation

🟢Pallof press

🟢Bird dog

🟢Cable holds

The first point of contact of the foot on the ground determines the foot strike pattern. When the heel strikes first, we refer to this pattern as a Rearfoot strike. When the toes, or metatarsal heads make contact first, we refer to this pattern as a Forefoot strike. All contacts that are not clearly the heel or the toes is referred to as a Midfoot strike.

A rearfoot strike pattern is the most common foot strike pattern and tends to be used more for longer distances. A study assessing the foot strike pattern of marathon runners showed that 94% of the runners were using a rearfoot strike (Kasmer et al 2012). Midfoot and forefoot patterns are often the strike pattern used in elite runners and faster distances.

There is no clear evidence that shows one foot strike pattern is better than the other as there are advantages and disadvantages to each pattern. And, trying to change your foot strike pattern can result in some unwanted stresses on your body if done too quickly. Forcing a change can negatively effect the metabolic efficiency of running and increase injury rate up to 40% during the transition period to the new foot strike pattern. As you increase speed however, most runners will naturally shift to a more forward position and a midfoot or forefoot strike. If you do need to shift your foot strike pattern due to a current injury, do so very gradually to avoid this increased risk of injury.
