Abstract:
Running is rarely associated with acute injuries (muscle injuries, ankle sprain, ruptures of the Achilles tendon). More than 80% of the complaints are due to overuse injuries, mainly concerning knee, foot and Achilles tendon. Risk factors are high-performance sports, high training quantity, rapid increase of training intensity, previous injuries, and skeletal axis malalignment. Running is not suitable for severely overweight people and those with significant skeletal malalignment, dysplastic hips, spondylolisthesis, or cartilage damage.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
Impact Loading
In cases of elastic deformation,...

Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
