"

Some connective tissues won’t ever improve much with training. For these tissues, such as cartilage and ligaments, your emphasis needs to be on injury prevention. You must strengthen muscles that directly affect the tissues (often smaller muscles overlooked in traditional strength-training routines) and use stretching and massage to reduce tissue tension.

Most of all, training connective tissue requires patience. Get-fit-quick schemes rarely produce fast fitness; they produce injury.

Focusing on bones, tendons and fascia, the following paragraphs explain how to build your connective tissue so that you can run stronger and avoid injury."

Correr descalço não previne lesões?

Aparentemente afinal não ajuda à prevenção de lesões (é "apenas" mais um tipo de corrida):

Citando:
"Nigg and Enders started by investigating the effects of barefoot running on foot motion. Proponents of minimalist running often claim that running without shoes decreases the risk of injuries by promoting landings near the front of the feet, near the toes, instead of landing on the heel purportedly more likely with standard shoes.
Their research suggests that this claim is unfounded and that "it is not appropriate to associate barefoot running with toe landing and shod running with heel landing," because factors like surface, shoe type, running speed, and individual differences are too variable to consistently make the links."
