That is what we often call left-handed and right-handed.
Don’t say anything and run.
In short, whether you step on that foot first and run clockwise or counterclockwise, as long as you run first and move, it is a positive development of the body…
No matter which foot you step, just step out first.
However, starting from our physical instinct, whether it’s running with the left foot or the right foot, just follow our instinct.
Therefore, we don’t need to deliberately change our step order like Su Shen.
The key to this result is that he changed his starting foot from right foot to left foot.
If we walk with our eyes closed, usually many people will lean to the left.
Running every day, have we noticed whether we take the left foot or the right foot first? Moreover, on the playground, we all run in the same direction, and we all run counterclockwise.
Su Shen himself said this question.
In another way, we will have a different feeling.
However, if we always run counterclockwise, it will put a lot of pressure on our left leg and left knee, which will lead to knee injury for a long time.
However, we also need to find a keyword “conform to the body’s instinct”.
Liu Xiang, the 110m Hurdle champion, changed his sports habit for many years in order to be faster after his injury.
As we all know, Su Shen ran 9.83 seconds in the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympic Games, creating a “Chinese speed” and breaking the Asian record.
Compared with clockwise, counterclockwise running will have less pressure on the heart and more powerful beating of the heart.
From the start to the first column, it changed from eight steps to seven steps, from the starting right foot to the starting left foot, and let yourself run within 13 seconds again.
So why do we always run counterclockwise? Starting from our body structure, our heart is on the left.
From our brain habits, the left brain is the “rational hemisphere” in charge of logical thinking such as words and numbers, and the right brain is the “artistic hemisphere” in charge of image thinking such as imagination and music.
That’s why we choose to run counterclockwise.
As can be seen from the above, changing feet can really improve our running speed.
At the same time, our body’s center of gravity is also to the left.
It is understood that about 6% – 13% of people in the world are left-handed, accounting for a high proportion in the sports industry, such as Ding Ning, Xu Xin, Lin Dan, etc.
Therefore, occasionally we can try to run clockwise.
We can’t help asking, which foot can affect our speed? Yes, which foot can really affect our running speed.
In fact, whether to take the left foot first or the right foot first is determined by our body instinct.
People with an advantage of the left brain generally use the right hand, while people with an advantage of the right brain generally use the left hand.
