When running, the human body receives a load six times the body weight.
There is a big load on the spine, joints, muscles. Therefore, it is very important to select appropriate shoes for jogging. Some do not even think about the consequences of running in ordinary shoes and, perhaps, do not realize the causes of pain and the aggravation of some kind of joint diseases. For example, shoes such as sneakers, which we used to consider comfortable for playing sports, are not at all suitable for running training. When running, the blow falls on the entire foot, leg and, accordingly, the spine. Soft shoes do not fix the position of the foot tightly, hence, as a result, injuries and sprains. Sneakers are more suited for running training, but out of all the variety it is best to choose shoes with good cushioning.
