WHAT’S DROP?
Drop measures the up and down movement of your pelvis, which is most easily observed from in front or behind the body.
Increased drop of the pelvis is often due to weak hip and core muscles, specifically your abductor muscles such as your gluteus medius. This can lead to undesired twisting of soft tissues such as the IT band and pulling on the patellar tendon. A stable, steady pelvis gives you a strong platform from which to launch your steps from, whereas an unstable pelvis can waste energy making you inefficient.

TARGET GOAL
12degs
or lower
Ideally your drop value will be as low as possible to reduce the lost of energy and risk of injury. A realistic value drop value is considered to be any number below 12 degrees.
Lumo Run detects your drop level during your run and provides audio coaching cues through your headphones to help you reach your goal.
