«Cross-training is essential for runners to prevent overuse injuries that are associated with
repetitive impact activity, such as shin splints as well as hip, lower - back and knee discomfort,» says Samantha Clayton, Director of Fitness Education at Herbalife and former Olympic sprinter based in Malibu, CA.
There are a number of ways hip pain can develop, including an injury from high -
impact sports, such as downhill skiing, football, and martial arts, or
repetitive wear - and - tear motions in
activities, like soccer and golf, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery.
