Why do football players bend their legs?
If you observe the standing football players, you will find that their legs are bent. This phenomenon is called "field stilts" in jargon. Walking on stilts refers to the state that the leg bones bend outward, also known as external rotation. Like the eight-legged gait, the leg bones bend outward and the toes walk outward.
The Sports Bible, a media specializing in football, said, "There are differences. For example, some players have slightly bent knees, while others have slightly bent knees." There are several factors that may cause this to happen.
TikTok video uploaded by effective training officials shows that "leg bending" is not a phenomenon that only happens to some players.
The video shows that the main reason for "bending legs" is the physical development of athletes from the age of 12. Athletes usually put a lot of pressure on their knees, so overloading will lead to changes in the angle of the tibia. This will cause the athlete's legs to bend outward.
Research shows that in childhood, the legs of football players are more likely to grow 15 mm outward than those of non-football players.
According to the Sports Bible, this phenomenon is not only similar to football, but also similar to other sports that put too much pressure on the knees.
