Developmental kinesiology aspects for ideal stereotype of running and other sports performance.

Biomechanics of gait and the running cycle.

The role of the diaphragm during aerobic exercise; dual postural-respiratory diaphragmatic function.

The extremities functional differentiation for running - stepping forward and supporting function for the contralateral pattern of running.

DNS exercise positions to train core stabilization as a prerequisite of the ideal running stereotype.

Biomechanical and developmental kinesiology principles for foot centration & foot orthotics and selection of optimal shoes for different type of running.

The most frequent types of musculoskeletal dysfunction resulting from non optimal running stereotype and poor methodology of training: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, knee pain, hip pain, low back pain.
