Add a circle of friends around the teacher on wechat ~ when the soles of the feet touch the ground, students generally know how to exert their strength: make three points on the soles of the feet, compact the ground, press the big toe ball down and lift the arch of the foot.
It can not only stabilize the foundation, but also activate the strength of the lower leg and the inner thigh.
When the sole of the foot is off the ground, many students don’t know how to exert force.
Let’s take a look at the anatomy of the sole of the foot.
There are three arches on the sole of the foot, which are as follows: 1.
The medial longitudinal arch is on the inner side of the foot and the connecting line from the big toe to the arch of the foot.
This arch doesn’t touch the ground and plays an important role when the body is bearing weight.
2.
The lateral longitudinal arch is on the outside of the foot, from the small toe to the outside of the heel.
This arch can touch the ground and give the body a push.
3.
Transverse arch this arch is the connecting line between the inside and outside of the forefoot, a point below the foot ball.
