A HUGE NUMBER OF HEALTH CLUB USERS RUN .WHEN THEY CAN’T RUN ANYMORE THEY SWITCH TO THE ELLIPTICAL

According to IHRSA’s 2011 report on usage of equipment in health clubs
44.4 percent of members say they use the treadmill.31.5 percent of members say they use the elliptical trainer.
MOST RUNNERS INJURED DUE TO IMPROPER TECHNIQUE

Most Running injuries are due to heel striking. Heel striking is always the wrong way to run
Heel striking issues are made worse when you land on hard surfaces
On hard surfaces, forefoot strikers have impact forces 7 times lower than
shod runners who heel strike
THERE IS A CORRECT WAY TO RUNPOSE METHOD ®EXPLAINS RUNNING

Pose Method developed In the ‘70’s by Russian Olympic coach, author and biomechanical expert, Dr. Nicholas Romanov
• Previously – no commonly accepted method or standard for teaching running technique• Recognizes that optimal running technique is the same for all athletes regardless of speed or distance• Thousands of runners analyzed to isolate essential, non-variable elements (Pose-Fall-Pull) among all runners• Pose Method framework is not about what all runners do differently, but what they all do the same
Just as Newton didn’t invent gravity nor Galilleo the stars, Dr. Romanov did not invent running – he studied and for the first
time identified the common elements of optimal running technique
POSE IS ACCEPTED WORLDWIDE

Running is practiced but not taught as a skill
POSE® FOCUSES ON THE THREE COMPONENTS PRESENT IN ALL RUNNING
Page 7 Cardio | Strength | Power | Balance04/12/2023
• In all running there are three non-variable essential elements: Pose (Running Posture) Fall and Pull
• All runners use these three elements, and everything else is wasted motion causing slower speeds, higher energy output, and injury!
The Running Pose is a whole body pose, which vertically aligns shoulders, hips and ankles with the support leg, while standing on the ball of the foot. This creates an S-like shape of the body. The runner then changes the pose from one leg to the other by falling forward and allowing gravity to do the work. The support foot is pulled from the ground to allow the body to fall forward while the
other foot drops down freely in a change of support.
Anatomy of a Stride
Heel Strike Mid-Foot Strike Pose Fall Pull
Foot Strike Varies
All Runners go through the Running Pose
Foot Strike Varies
Most Injuries occur in this Phase
Forefoot Landing to Pose
Prevent Injuries (Running Pose)• Our primary goal with any skillful
activity is to avoid getting injured• Most injuries occur from initial
contact to the mid-stance (Running Pose)
• The further ahead of the body that a runner lands, the longer the support time, which exposes the joints, ligaments, and tendons to an excessive amount of load
• The quicker we get in and out of the Pose position, the fewer injuries we will have
Running Faster (Fall-Forward)• Think of falling like a gas
pedal; the farther forward (up to 22.5°) you fall, the faster you run
• What about:– Arm Pumping?– Cadence?– Increasing Stride Length?
• Most people can pump their arms and have a world class cadence while running in place
• Stride length is the effect, not the cause of faster running– Conclusion: The missing
component is falling forward
Running Longer (Pull)• The average runner has a
cadence of 165 spm• With the Pose Method the
minimum cadence is 180 spm– This is the necessary
threshold to begin to utilize muscle-tendon elasticity
• After a 12 week period of adaptation to the increased cadence:– Up to a 50% increase in
mechanical efficiency– Up to a 20% decrease in
Oxygen consumption
The Romanov Academy of Sports Science, the scientific institute for the study of human biomechanics founded by Russian Olympic coach, author, educator and noted biomechanical expert Dr. Nicholas Romanov, is pleased to announce that it has bestowed its highest certification, the Optimal Movement Pattern Equipment Certification, on the Sproing Runner developed by Sproing Fitness LLC. of Chicago, Illinois. 1 Star – Emulation loosely resembling the movement pattern3 Star – The closest possible emulation of the movement pattern5 Star – The actual movement, in the most optimal biomechanical pattern

Romanov Academy of Sports Science Awards Sproing Runner Highest Certification
“Additionally, the ability to vary the surface density on the Sproing is of special interest to us because it allows coaches to vary the perception runners have of the movement they are performing. “By altering a runner’s perception as opposed to keeping your tempo and terrain constant as on a treadmill, you can improve a runner’s skill dramatically, “ says Severin Romanov, CEO of Pose Method, Inc.
Sproing allows coaches to safely teach runners to harness and replicate the gravity assisted falling method necessary to propel them forward. “Sproing is a tool that
helps you emulate running in a way that a treadmill can’t…,” says Dr. Romanov. “Falling is the key to successful running, using gravity to propel you forward. You
can teach falling easily and safely on the Sproing Runner whereas the falling-forward element is non-existent on a treadmill.”
WHAT IS SPROING?
THE RESULT :
• Half the knee impact of the softest treadmill.
• 32% less ankle impact
• 41% less impact on your back
• 21 adjustable firmness/intensity surface settings
• Best tool for functional running- backwards, sideways and forwards just like in sport
• The First Soft-Platform Running Machine That Absorbs Impact As You Run By Combining:
• Sproing’s Proprietary Beach and Air Surfaces – absorb impact and activate muscles
• Resistance Cord & Belt–create correct running form of forward lean and forefoot landing

REAL RUNNING’S PROGRAMPOW ERED BY PO SE
Components of Program• Four week Program with 2x week sessions with trainers• Frame by Frame 6 point running analysis that any trainer can use• Specific, simple, easy to learn and teach perceptual based drills that:
• Help runners improve speed• Help runners improve distance• Help runners avoid injury
• Repeat analysis to document improvements• Combines running outside or on track with running drills and running
on Sproing to replicate real running better.
