Abstract
Physical activity has been associated with danger, recommending that visit a doctor before starting any physical activity program. Is physical activity or is inactivity more harmful? Running is a popular sport, practiced today by millions of people and within reach of all, but this activity is related to a high number of injuries being 80% of the runners injured per year the current figures. Why humans being injured with something he has done throughout his evolution and for which it is designed? The market and the brands have tried unsuccessfully to provide a solution to this large number of injured runners. However, they have not been able to reduce the incidence of injuries and have not even managed to improve their performance, based their recommendations on marketing rather than on the science. The main cause of the injuries of runners is a wrong Mechanical Stress Quantification, to prevent overuse injuries you have to adapt the mechanical stress progressively. The body adapts, provided that the applied stress does not exceed its adaptability. Based on this postulate, a sustained running program, with the appropriate recommendations, scientifically supported and free from commercial misrepresentation, will provide the benefits to maintain and/or improve the musculoskeletal health of lower limb and prevent pathologies of the locomotor system.
