futóállás

Futóállás is a Hungarian term that translates to "running stance" or "running position." It refers to the specific posture and mechanics a runner adopts while in motion. This stance is crucial for efficiency, injury prevention, and optimal performance. Key components of a proper futóállás include the positioning of the head, shoulders, arms, torso, hips, and legs.

A good futóállás typically involves an upright torso, avoiding excessive forward or backward lean. The shoulders should be relaxed and not hunched. The arms usually swing in a forward and backward motion, roughly parallel to the body, contributing to momentum and balance. The hips should be aligned over the feet, allowing for a smooth transfer of energy. The stride length and cadence are also integral parts of the overall running stance, with an efficient futóállás aiming for a mid-foot or forefoot strike rather than a heavy heel strike. Maintaining a consistent and balanced posture throughout the run is the ultimate goal of a well-developed futóállás. Runners often work on improving their futóállás through drills and focused practice.
