POSE METHOD AND PHYSICAL CULTURE
Culture - latin cultura - fineness of feelings, thoughts, tastes, manners, etc., civilization of a given people or nation at a given time; development of the mind or body by education, training, etc., behavior that is socially taught, rather than instinctive or individual. Thorndike-Barnhart Student Dictionary, HarperCollins Publishers, 1992 p.270. My daughter's advice and discussion on Pose Tech's Running Forum initiated by Poser123 made me think about this topic, which was supposed to appear anyway in the long run, as an urgent necessity. Why do we need to talk about the Pose Method, especially in relation to running, in connection...

THE BALL, THE SOLE OR THE ARCH OF THE FOOT?
The question of how to land the foot in running is not a new one developed just recently. At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century there were developed several different points of views. For instance, P.

THE ROLE OF KNEES IN RUNNING
The knee is an anatomical part of our body called a joint. The knee is one of the most important joints of our body. It plays an essential role in movement related to carrying the body weight in horizontal (running and walking) and vertical (jumps) directions. In general, the importance of knee joints can’t be overestimated. In fact, it is so obvious, that there is no necessity to try to prove it. But besides this obvious fact, there is also some other information about their function in running, which is very valuable and should be understood. Traditionally, in the conventional...

RUNNING IN COMBAT BOOTS
Does running in combat boots make our run different, and if yes, what is this difference? On the one hand, it seems, it should be different, but on the other, knowing the fundamentals of the Pose Method philosophy, you feel, it shouldn’t. Where is the truth? What is the point of discussing this problem? What relevance does it have for us? Obviously, running in combat boots is not your every day exercise and it is not for every one. It is restricted to people of specific professions working under specific conditions and in specific circumstances. Nevertheless, the task of running...
