He ‘running‘, with specific starts or only in races like the San Silvestre of this era, has become in recent years one of the sports of the moment. Although it has been practiced all our lives and there is nothing innovative about it, going for a run as a sports practice has grown, especially after the pandemic, and is widely applauded for its benefits for physical condition, but it also has a positive impact on mental and emotional health, offering a comprehensive form of well-being.
In any case, the world of running is also surrounded by many myths and hoaxes, such as its supposed benefits (not confirmed by science) of running on an empty stomach to burn more fat. the false claim that more kilometers the better you work performance or the theory that you don’t need much training and that going out only on race days allows you to achieve better results.
Another of the most typical and persistent is to think that running contributes to destroying the knees. Experts in the field confirm that people with joint problems should take special caution and confirm, at the same time, that running properly does not destroy the most important joint in the human body. Now María de los Ángeles García, or better known as Boticaria García for her health dissemination, wanted to talk about it.
“They are not strong”
The pharmacist and nutritionist has, in fact, just launched a new channel on social networks (@tristrasymas) together with Javier Butragueño, doctor in Health and Sports Sciences and both have explained in one of their first videos if it is true that running destroys the knees. «What can I say to all those people who tell me to stop running because Am I going to break my knees?», she asks.
«The knees are damaged because they are not strong», assures the sports coach, making it clear that running itself is not the problem. Both do not confirm that running can precisely help strengthen muscles and ligaments and limit themselves to showing seven simple exercises to do at home with which you can strengthen your knees.
Thus, the Boticaria itself shows the seven practices. All of them require the use of elastic bands and consist of movements doing squats or bending the knees forward or backward. In a matter of days, more than a million people have seen the exercises and appreciated the advice, in addition to taking advantage of the channels to leave some questions.
A user, for example, has asked if these exercises can be done if one has hypermobility in the joints. jointsto which they have answered yes. A physiotherapist added that “the first premise for running is to be strong.” In addition, people who have recently had surgery or cancer patients have also consulted and corroborated the benefits of running.
