The knee pain is more pronounced when you keep the knee bent in a sitting position, down the stairs, or take a small slope. It is caused by repeated movements and stress on joint muscles during running.

- Running knee is not a certain type of injury, but is used to describe many
- If the "running knee" is not very serious, you can take some measures to self-treat yourself: Pause running training, apply ice to the affected area, apply the affected area for about 10 minutes every 2 hours; reduce the weight of the knee, and raise your feet if possible , Self-massage the affected area; [3]
- Statistics published by the Harvard University in the United States show that the daily injury rate of runners is 30% to 80%, which can lead to a variety of diseases in severe cases. The most common "running injury" is caused by repetitive movements and stress on joint muscles during running.
- Running on the treadmill is a popular way of fitness in recent years, especially for obese people who prefer to use the treadmill to consume fat. However, whether it is obese people or ordinary fitness people, one problem that is difficult to ignore during the use of the treadmill is the long-term repeated exercise, and the high impact force during exercise, local high pressure on the lower limb joints, muscles, bones, etc. Chronic damage from tissue.
- The knee flexion angle during the support phase is significantly larger than that of the improved treadmill on a conventional running platform. Under jogging, this difference is significantly larger than that of walking. Under jogging conditions, the improved running platform can effectively reduce the supporting period. The interaction force between the person and the running platform improves the cushioning effect and reduces the occurrence of injuries. In the jogging state, the knee flexion angle during the swing period is also significantly different between the two running platforms. The folding range of the large and small legs increases. From the biomechanical analysis of running, the folding range of the large and small legs increases, which will cause the leg to rotate during the swing. Decreased inertia and increased leg swing speed. From this point of view, on the one hand, the improved running platform can effectively help the human body to improve the cushioning effect during exercise, and on the other hand, exercising on the improved running platform is also conducive to the formation of a good sports posture.
