OVERSTRIDE Meaning and Definition

1. The term "overstride" refers to a verb that is used to describe a walking or running action in which the striding distance is longer than what is considered normal or necessary. It involves taking excessively large steps or strides while moving forward. This can occur in various activities such as walking, running, or even horseback riding.

   When a person overstrides, their steps or strides surpass the optimal or natural length required for smooth and efficient movement. This often results in an abnormal gait pattern or technique. Overstriding can lead to a variety of consequences, including overuse injuries, such as shin splints, knee pain, or stress fractures, particularly in sports and activities that involve repetitive movements.

   In the context of running, overstriding is commonly associated with heel striking, where the runner lands on their heel with an extended leg in front of their body. This can place excessive stress on the joints and muscles, potentially leading to pain and decreased performance.

   In order to prevent overstriding and promote proper biomechanics, it is recommended to adopt a midfoot or forefoot landing pattern, where the foot strikes the ground closer to its center. By doing so, it allows for a shorter and more efficient stride, reducing the risk of injury and optimizing performance in various physical activities.
