Wang Ye's rushing speed became faster and faster, and the inertia from his body grew stronger and stronger.
In the running field, there is a term called the "braking effect," which means that in running, if your landing position is relatively forward, deviating from directly under the body, it will cause the originally vertical pressure exerted on the knee to partially turn into horizontal shear force. This shear force accumulates on the knee joint and simultaneously reduces the body's forward inertia, thereby decreasing running speed and increasing energy consumption. Similar to how brake pads squeeze the wheels, slowing the speed in vehicle driving, it is also referred to as the "braking effect."
Many beginners in running instinctively use the heel strike method, which severely exacerbates this "braking effect," causing them to run slower and more tired. Over time, it may even affect the health of the knee joint.
