 * Project Title:** Good Form Running
 * Project Submitted By:** Amanda McCristal
 * Grade level(s):** Elementary Physical Education, K-6th
 * Description:** Running is an activity which is most utilized for leisure, sport, or exercise, yet least studied nor taught properly. With the help of Playmakers Fitness Foundation and elementary physical educators in the Okemos Public Schools, there are now four simple steps to follow to run faster, easier and healthier. Just like in any sport, there is usually a technique to follow when kicking, batting, or swimming. The same applies for running. The following Vodcast reviews the four simple steps to Good Form Running, posture, mid-foot, cadence, and lean. By achieving and practicing these four steps, students can truly run healthier and prevent injuries over time.

The video below is an additional example of Good Form Running analysis at the first and second grade level. media type="custom" key="23282282"
