Muscle activity during running 🏃🏽♀️
The quads, calf and glutes are important shock absorbers and the hamstrings work hardest during the swing phase.

One of the scariest things I see is a femoral neck stress fracture. If you miss it, the femoral neck can fracture and displace. Then the hip is at risk for avascular necrosis, nonunion, and a much bigger surgery. The history is usually activity related groin pain with repetitive stress. X-rays are usually normal early on. If this is on your differential, get an urgent MRI. Don’t let your patient keep running on this.

Education isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about understanding that there is always more to learn and discover.

Running with excessive forward trunk lean can affect efficiency and increase load on the Glutes and Hamstrings. These cues can help! 🏃

Stress fractures of the foot and ankle.
⚠️ Note the 'high risk' sites they need thorough assessment (including imaging) and cautious management.

3 key points about the Glutes and running:
1️⃣ You can't tell a runner has weak glutes just by watching
them run 🏃♀️
2️⃣ Their glutes aren't 'inactive' or 'switched off', they kick in
automatically!
3️⃣ Strengthening the glutes doesn't tend to reduce hip
adduction or pelvic drop when running.

Este señor es @DrPeterBrukner , uno de los pioneros de la medicina deportiva moderna. En su charla por la historia de la medicina deportiva comenta que, por suerte, el manejo de las lesiones se realiza, actualmente, mediante pautas de ejercicios y no mediante máquinas.

The measure of your intelligence is not your ability to acquire knowledge but how you handle uncertainty and navigate through it and behave when you don't know what to do.

Building muscle isn’t complicated: 💪
Train close to failure (~0–2 RIR), choose stable exercises that load the target muscle, train each muscle ~2–3×/week, use double progression
Mechanical tension + progressive overload + time. That’s the foundation.
