Which of the following aerobic activities has the highest impact on the joints? a. cycling b. swimming c. running d. walking

C. running

Explanation:

Running is a high impact physical activity on the joints. This impact impact is the collision between two bodies in a very short interval of time. During the run, the impact between the foot and the ground generates a shockwave that is transmitted throughout the body. Excessive impact on joints is directly related to musculoskeletal injuries in sports.

The better the running technique, the less impact on the joints. For example, heel shock, in addition to increasing impact, also leads to a waste of potential elastic energy accumulated during the stride, so it is important to support the forefoot, ie the front of the foot, to prevent wear and to decrease the impact on the joints.
