IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTH TRAINING FOR RUNNERS
You may already be familiar with the term strength training or have previously read about its benefits. But how does this all affect your ability to run?
Well, if you're not doing strength training as a runner, you're actually negatively affecting your performance. Strength training can benefit running load without any change in muscle mass quantity. Essentially, strength training can help improve your ability to utilise what you already have and prevent running injuries.
HOW STRENGTH TRAINING FOR RUNNERS WORKS
Improvements in running performance after implementing physio strength training are due to changes in neuromuscular function.
Motor unit recruitment: Larger motor units are recruited in response to greater loads or velocity. This threshold is lowered through strength training, causing an increase in the rate of force development. This means you’ll be recruiting more muscle fibres to create movement.
Motor unit rate coding: Strength training improves the firing rate (coding) of motor units, thereby increasing our ability to produce force rapidly.
Motor unit synchronisation: Strength training improves the simultaneous activation of multiple motor units at a single time point, thereby increasing our rate of force development.
Neuromuscular inhibition: Neural feedback from both muscle and joint receptors can reduce force output (as a protective mechanism from unknown or ‘new’ stress). Strength training decreases the regulation of this neural feedback, inhibiting antagonistic muscle groups and thereby increasing force production.
WHO SHOULD BE DOING STRENGTH TRAINING?
Anyone, regardless of age, who runs can benefit from running physio. Strength training is relative to each person and should be prescribed at specific intensities, tailored to the individual’s background.
It does not matter whether you’re young, middle-aged, or an older adult; the importance of performing strength-based exercises as a fit runner to improve performance and reduce running injury risk does not change.
If you’re unsure of how to train safely and correctly, or simply where to start, please make sure to seek out a qualified exercise professional. Our expert Sydney Exercise Physiologists can help!
What our patients have to say
Runner's Exercise Physiotherapy with Infinite Health
At Infinite Health, our experienced Sydney Exercise Physiologists recommend doing 3-5 reps at 80-100% of a 5 rep max, for 3 to 5 sets, twice a week.
We will tailor an exercise program that includes both bilateral (back squats and deadlifts) and unilateral (lunges and split squats) exercises. This is an advanced training method, so your physiotherapist will ensure you are using the proper techniques and have a solid foundation of strength before progressing.
