Functional Core Stabilization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve likely heard the benefits of working your core, and let\u2019s face it: we all want that six pack. But the benefits of core work come from helping the body to stabilize the hips and torso while running. This requires functional and dynamic exercises that force your body to stabilize through motion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If You Do:&nbsp;<\/strong>Front Plank<strong><br \/><\/strong><strong>Try:&nbsp;<\/strong>Elbow plank with Heel Lifts<\/p>\n<p>While in elbow plank, lift one heel off the ground an inch, then put down and repeat on the other side. Do 10 on each side.&nbsp;Be sure to keep the hips level and not let one side dip \u2013 that\u2019s what stabilizing the core means!<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>If You Do:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong>Elbow Side Plank<strong><br \/><\/strong><strong><strong>Try:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong>Side Plank with a Twist<\/p>\n<p>In side plank, put your free hand behind your head and twist your torso down, until your free elbow is pointing towards the ground, then rotate back to your start position. Be sure to not to let your torso dip.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If You Do:<\/strong>&nbsp;Sit Ups<strong><br \/><\/strong><strong><strong>Try:<\/strong><\/strong>&nbsp;Medicine Ball Slams<\/p>\n<p>Stand upright holding a medicine ball. Bring ball overhead and throw the ball straight down as hard as you can, focusing on contracting your abdominals. This exercise puts crunches to shame!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>&nbsp;<\/em>2.&nbsp;<strong>Dynamic Stretching<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Static stretching may loosen your muscles, but your muscles don\u2019t exist in a purely lengthened position when they\u2019re being used during training. Dynamic stretching focuses on enhancing elasticity \u2013 that is, the body\u2019s ability to lengthen and shorten throughout a motion. It holds a stretch for just a few seconds before continuing through the motion, and then returning to the stretch again for a few seconds repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Area To Loosen:&nbsp;<\/strong>Gluteals <br \/><strong>Try:&nbsp;<\/strong>Knee Grabs<strong> &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Standing upright, bring one knee to 90 degrees. Hold on to the knee and bring towards opposite shoulder to produce a light stretch in the buttocks. Hold for a few seconds, release, and do the same on the opposite side as you proceed into the next step. Keep moving through each stretch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Area To Loosen:&nbsp;<\/strong>Hamstrings<strong><br \/><\/strong><strong>Try: <\/strong>Toe Reachers<\/p>\n<p>Standing upright place one foot in front of you a couple inches. Reach toes up towards the sky and push your butt back as you reach towards your toe. The active foot flexion coupled with pushing the sits bones behind you produces the stretch, <strong>not you bending down<\/strong>. Hold for a few seconds, release, then take a small step before doing the same on the opposite leg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Area To Loosen:&nbsp;<\/strong>Hip Flexors<strong><br \/><\/strong><strong><strong>Try:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Lunge and Reach<\/p>\n<p>Step forward into a lunge. With your opposite arm, reach up and over towards the same side as the forward leg in an arc shape. You should feel a stretch in the front of the hip. Hold for a few seconds before stepping directly into a lunge on the opposite leg and repeating.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Related:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation2021\/articles\/9-dynamic-stretches-for-runners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation2021\/articles\/9-dynamic-stretches-for-runners\">Examples of dynamic stretches for runners<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\">3. <strong>Trigger Point Release<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2016_45\/201407trigger-point-release.jpg\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2016_45\/201407trigger-point-release.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5334 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2016_45\/201407trigger-point-release-190x300.jpg\" alt=\"trigger point release\" width=\"190\" height=\"300\" data-mce-src=\"http:\/\/d3j2bju5c7tc02.cloudfront.net\/2016_45\/201407trigger-point-release-190x300.jpg\"><\/a> Trigger points are \u201cknots\u201d, or locations in overworked or injured muscles, where tension is being held. Applying pressure to these points can release the tension and allow the muscle to relax. Often, certain points in the body get overused through excessive running and exercise. Routinely releasing these points can help keep them released, free of tension, and <strong>lower the risk<\/strong> for overuse injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Some common points are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Piriformis:<\/strong>&nbsp;This little muscle is right in the middle of your butt and is responsible for keeping the leg from rotating inwards while running. A tight piriformis is very common, especially in runners or athletes who incorporate run training often.<br \/><strong>Remedy:<\/strong> Sit on a tennis or lacrosse ball, applying pressure directly to the prifirormis. Hold for 30 seconds, switch sides, then repeat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>IT Band:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;Made of fascia, this band runs along the outside of your leg from hip to knee. Fascia is sort of like Saran wrap inside the body. This can get bunched up and stick together, impeding its ability to glide across the muscles, and causing it to become painful. <br \/><strong>Remedy:<\/strong> First, release the gluteal muscles (lacrosse ball method discussed above), as tight hips can increase susceptibility for the IT band to be impeded. Then, get a foam roller and roll out the IT band, going slowly and spending extra time on any \u201cknots\u201d. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>(Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation2021\/articles\/benefits-of-stretching-and-the-foam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.coachup.com\/nation2021\/articles\/benefits-of-stretching-and-the-foam\">Read about other&nbsp;benefits of foam rolling<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sports injuries can be&nbsp;frustrating, but you have the tools and power to reduce your chances of sustaining such an&nbsp;injury. &nbsp;Be sure to follow&nbsp;the&nbsp;advice of a qualified <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coachup.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/www.coachup.com\">sports coach<\/a> and&nbsp;these three training tips in&nbsp;order&nbsp;to remain healthy throughout&nbsp;your career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunate and disappointing, injuries sustained on the field&nbsp;come with the territory of playing competitive sports.
