“The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them”.
– Sir William Lawrence Bragg
Romanov Academy of Sport Science established and maintains the certification program for the most advanced credential in the sport of running – a Certified Running Technique Specialist. Running is part of virtually all sports and athletic activities whether it’s a dash on the field, across the court, towards a sand pit, a finish line or for the health of it, so it counts millions as participants. According to research, most of those participants get injured at some point and repeatedly get re-injured.
Historically, running was always looked at and approached as an endurance sport and a cardio activity plagued with overuse injuries. Yet, record holders and champions with the longest careers in this sport are known for their distinct running technique and also no injuries or much less than an average runner.
Certified Running Technique Specialist credential is the first in the line of certifications based on the Pose Method – a methodical and conceptual approach to teaching and learning movement with a unique focus on the fundamental aspect of any movement – technique. It is an internationally known credential with certified providers all over the world.
