POSTURAL BALANCE AND BIOMECHANICAL PROBLEMS FOR THE KNEE

Abstract

The increased emphasis of jogging and running and for the special few, the marathon, has increased with exploding emphasis in the past few year. If any person wished to follow the "circuit," a 10K race (6 miles), 5 miler:, or any other combination of distances, they could take part in competition in any section of the country on a daily and weekly basis providing transportation and funds were available. By and large the runner/jogger pretty much confines their activity to the local scene, running at the track, on the streets or hike and bike trails such as are found in Austin.
