FOR BACKSIDE ARM MECHANICS

Arm mechanics are a critical part of an athlete’s speed and strength in their sport. Without good form, it doesn’t matter how fast you are. There are other arm training devices on the market, but they require a visual element in order to work. This means that a coach or parent needs to observe the athlete to make sure that the elbows are actually driving back on the athlete because an athlete wearing a device can not run and look to make sure their arms are at the approximate angle or that elbows are driving far enough into the backspace to make a real difference in form. The user becomes dependent upon another person to tell them what their arms are doing, thus defeating the purpose of an arm training device.

KlickSpeed is different. It gives auditory feedback, a “CLICK”, that tells the athlete they are using the device correctly. This is a huge benefit to the athlete and the teams they are on- usually track and field teams are very large, and most are typically short on coaches to observe every single athlete. Once KlickSpeed is properly adjusted to the athlete, the user simply runs and can then hear their own progress as they go. It’s a simple, fun solution to training arms for running!

The Importance of Arms in Running

*Unleash Your Full Potential*

Introduction:
Running is a natural human instinct, and it’s a sport that has captivated individuals for centuries. While most attention is given to the lower body, the role of the arms in running is often underestimated or overlooked. However, understanding the significance of arm movement can elevate your running performance to new heights. In this article, we delve into the importance of arms in running and highlight how they contribute to overall efficiency, balance, and speed.

Enhanced Balance and Stability:
The rhythmic motion of the arms serves as a crucial counterbalance to the movement of the legs. By swinging the arms in coordination with the legs, runners maintain stability and balance, reducing the risk of falls or missteps. This balance ensures efficient weight distribution and helps runners navigate uneven terrain or sudden changes in direction.

Improved Propulsion and Speed:
The arms are not merely passive components during running; they actively contribute to forward propulsion. As the arms swing in sync with the legs, they create a counterforce that enhances the overall momentum of the body. By engaging the arms in a powerful and purposeful manner, runners can generate additional force, increasing speed and stride length. The arm swing, when coordinated with the leg drive, creates a harmonious motion that propels the body forward.

Energy Conservation and Efficiency:
Efficient running is all about optimizing energy expenditure. By utilizing the arms effectively, runners can minimize wasteful movements and conserve valuable energy. The swinging motion of the arms helps transfer the rotational energy generated from the core and upper body, reducing the strain on the legs. Proper arm technique allows for smoother coordination between the upper and lower body, leading to a more fluid and energy-efficient running style.

Improved Posture and Core Activation:
The arm movement in running is closely linked to overall posture and core stability. Maintaining an upright posture and engaged core helps optimize running mechanics and prevents unnecessary strain on various muscles and joints. Proper arm swing encourages an upright torso and engages the core muscles, resulting in a more efficient running form. Strong and engaged arms also contribute to a more efficient transfer of power from the upper body to the lower body.

Mental Focus and Rhythm:
Running is not solely a physical endeavor; it requires mental focus and rhythm. The arms play a significant role in maintaining the desired rhythm during running. By consciously coordinating the arm swing with the stride and breathing pattern, runners can establish a rhythmic flow that promotes endurance and helps overcome fatigue. The repetitive motion of the arms can also provide a focal point for runners, aiding in maintaining concentration and reducing distractions.

Training and Technique:
To harness the full potential of arm movement in running, it is essential to focus on proper training and technique. Incorporating arm exercises, such as strength training and mobility drills, can improve arm strength, flexibility, and coordination. Additionally, practicing an optimal arm swing technique that complements your running style can lead to significant performance enhancements. Working with a running coach or expert can provide valuable insights and guidance to fine-tune your arm movement.

Finally… 
While running is often associated with the strength and endurance of the legs, the role of the arms in running should not be underestimated. The arms contribute to balance, stability, propulsion, energy conservation, and overall efficiency. By recognizing the importance of arms in running and training them effectively, runners can unlock their full potential, achieve faster times, and enjoy a more effortless and enjoyable running experience. So, next time you hit the track or trail, remember to engage your arms and let them propel you towards your running goals.

WHY Running is Important: A Journey to Health and Happiness
