Summary
Runner's knee is a common condition that affects runners and can cause various types of knee pain. The primary cause of knee pain in runners is the high amount of stress and force exerted on the knee during running.
Strength training is crucial for preventing and managing runner's knee, as stronger muscles can better absorb and attenuate the forces experienced by the knee. Compound exercises like squats and lunges, as well as calf raises, are effective for strengthening the leg muscles.
Power training, such as squat jumps and sprint intervals, is also important for developing quick muscle activation and explosive strength. Implementing these training strategies can help runners avoid knee pain and improve their overall performance.
