Teks for questions 34 - 38

Running is the most basic of sports that involves the lower limbs and movement in a reasonably
straight line. Because of the high knee lift in sprinting, the injury patterns in sprinting are different from
those in long distance running.

Many distance runners complain of low back pain because of the stiff upright styles used in the long
distance running. This can be eased with number extension exercises and hip flexion. Runner's knee is
particularly common in the slower distance runner who may benefit from increasing his or her speed
and exercising the inner quadriceps muscles better.

Shin splits and lower limb stress fractures may be associated with poor biomechanics. It can often be
corrected by a change in shoes or the insertion of orthotics. Variations on these may help ease many of
the causes of foot pain that are found in distance runners.

In sprinting, the runner must come out of the start block. In doing thus, he or she must rotate the legs
and use adductor strength. This frequently leads to adductor pulls although ut is in full flight that
hamstring and quadriceps tears usually occur, especially if there is a tight bend.

A flexibility routine built into a training schedule may help prevent many of these injuries and
competition should not be allowed until the sprinter is fluent in his or her stride and pain-free.

C. Injuries found in long distance running can also be found in sprinting due to the high knee lift in
sprinting.

D. Sprinting injuries are different to long distance injuries because in sprinting tha athlete must lift his
or her knees high.
 E. Injuries are found in many sports.

35. What involves in running?

A. The high knee lift.

B. The stiff upright styles.

C. The rotation of the legs and the use of adductor strength.

D. The lower limbs and the movement in a reasonably straight line.
