Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 57 Inflammation (revised)
"Okay, no need to apologize."

Beiyuan waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and sighed bitterly, "I understand your desire to compete, but don't you know the importance of warming up?"

"If you do not warm up to promote blood circulation before exercise and immediately engage in intense exercise, local blood circulation may be blocked, and blood supply to certain parts of the body may be insufficient, leading to cramps, chronic diseases, injuries, and little effect of training."

"These contents, your trainer..." Kitahara glanced at the super small bay and slightly changed his words:

"Your trainers and teachers should have told you that you wouldn't all fall asleep in theory classes like Oguruma, right?"

"I, I haven't done that. I've never dozed off in class and was punished to stand in the corridor and then have the old man come and take me away..."

Tamamo Cross was the first to make a guarantee that was not very credible.

Almost fainting, Beiyuan covered his chest, rubbed his forehead, and looked towards the super small bay.

"I, I really don't doze off. I, I do very well in theory classes. I just got first place in the quiz this week..."

As if affected by Tamamo Cross's lack of confidence just now, Xiao Haiwan talked about good results, but his eyes were inexplicably evasive.

Little Chestnut had already turned his head away and was looking up at the sky blankly, as if there was something interesting in the sky.

...I will take what you said, Xiao Haiwan, as the truth. After this is over, I will look at your academic performance...

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, deciding not to worry about the theoretical course for the time being. Kitahara opened his eyes and said patiently:
"So, warm up first, don't rush, OK? Then when you jog, remember what I said and control your speed."

The three horse girls nodded hurriedly. Seeing this, Kitahara forced a smile and waved his arms.

"Well, let's jog again, for 10... 30 minutes this time. I'll spend more time observing. With your leg strength, this amount of time shouldn't be a problem."

After nodding once more, the three horse girls turned back to the track, and when Kitahara gave the order, they began to jog peacefully.

At a low speed, Kitahara could indeed clearly see the situations of Oguruma and the others.

Needless to say, Oguri's hat has great flexibility, a very low center of gravity, a very strong back foot, and other characteristics. Kitahara knows all of these very well and can even recite the relevant data by heart.

He mainly looked at the situation at Tamamo Cross and Super Cove.

Tamamo Cross is in very good condition. With a trainer, she undoubtedly shows professionalism. Whether it is the amplitude of arm swing, the angle of leg movement or the tilt of the body when turning, it is obvious that she has received special training.

But Kitahara quickly saw the problem.

"Strange, why does it feel like...she's running away from Little Chestnut Hat and Little Bay?"

It can be seen with the naked eye that in most cases, three horse girls running side by side form a row.

But on the straight line, Tamamo Cross has been running on the outer lane, keeping some distance from Oguruma and Super Bay on the inner lane.

When it comes to turning, the Little Chestnut will use its super strong leg strength to go around to the outer lane, forming a nearly straight path, while the Super Small Bay will continue to stick to the inner lane.

At this time, when there are people on both the inner and outer lanes, Tamamo Cross will either rush to the front in advance or lag behind a little, and only slow down or speed up once they enter the straight line, return to the outer lane, and continue to run side by side.

"Is she afraid of something..."

With doubts in his mind and unable to figure out the reason for a while, Kitahara wrote down the situation of Tamamo Cross on the recording board he brought and turned to look towards the super small bay.

The problem is even bigger in the cove.

It was obvious that there was no trainer to guide him. Xiao Haiwan's situation was the same as when Xiao Limao had not yet entered school. He had excellent talent, but there was a clear lack of training in all aspects of the details.

For example, arms.

As if he couldn't let go, the amplitude of Xiao Haiwan's arm swing was obviously much lower than that of Oguruma and Tamamo Cross.

This is a clear sign of lack of professional training. Running does not rely solely on legs and feet. In addition to legs and feet, the posture of the arms is the most important.

Rhythmic swinging of the arms can help the legs and feet maintain rhythm and stabilize the center of gravity, so that you will not easily lose balance when turning or switching speed and rhythm.

Especially when endurance is low, the high-swinging arms actually act as a "balance bar" in the hands of acrobats, relying on the weight of the arms and the potential energy of the swing to maintain the body's center of gravity, while also being able to drive the tired body to move forward to a certain extent.

But without professional training, even horse girls will not instinctively maintain arm swings, especially large arm swings.

When it is not necessary or your physical fitness is low, it is instinctive to reduce the amount of activity. Swinging your arms vigorously will accelerate physical energy consumption, which the body and brain will subconsciously reject.

This is because in ancient times, creatures could only face dangerous environments if they maintained a certain level of physical fitness under any circumstances. They could not consume precious physical strength without direct threats. This awareness has become an instinct after millions of years of evolution.

Various competitions are actually a fight against instinct. Daily boring and repetitive training is to replace instinctive reactions with habitual actions.

"There is a lack of systematic professional training. We need to pay special attention to this. We will have to arrange more relevant training for Xiao Haiwan later..."

Muttering to himself and writing down the situation of the small bay on the clipboard, Kitahara continued to watch her running.

Gradually, his brows furrowed.

"…What kind of pace is that?"

He murmured, looking towards the small bay on the runway.

When Xiaowan took a step, the time that the soles of his feet were in contact with the ground was very short, so short that it could be ignored.

In this situation, she was moving forward as if she was flying on the grass without touching the ground.

If this was a high-speed sprint, then there would be no problem for her to run like this. With the horse girl's physique, when the speed reaches the extreme, you really can't see her feet touching the ground.

But she was jogging now, so the contact time between Xiao Haiwan's feet and the ground was so short, and there was no obvious top speed, which meant that she did not push off the ground hard at all and did not get enough reaction force.

Or maybe she didn't dare to use force.

If I remember correctly, Xiao Haiwan broke his left foot before participating in the Aoba Shooting.

The main factor for the fracture was that due to the inflammation in the right foot, the left foot had to exert more strength, resulting in a fracture while chasing.

The Aoba Award is something that will happen after her debut. She hasn't debuted yet, so...

She has inflammation in her right foot? So she doesn't dare to use full force?
His heart suddenly shuddered. Although he didn't see any signs of illness from Xiao Haiwan's running posture, Beiyuan believed in his memory and did not dare to take it lightly, so he stopped the practice directly.

"Little Bay, come here for a moment."

Passing the recording board to the new Guanghui beside him, Kitahara waved towards the small bay on the runway, and then said to Oguruma, "Oguruma, you and Tamamo Cross continue warming up."

"If I don't have any plans after warm-ups, you can train with her according to your usual schedule, friendly matches, etc... We'll talk about it later."

Kitahara felt that there were no major problems with Oguruma's schedule when school started. Except for the adjustments to the content during special training, there were basically no deliberate changes.

Hearing the order, Oguruma nodded obediently and continued warming up with Tamamo Cross.

Xiao Wan, who walked over, was obviously confused, and her clear eyes were full of surprise and uneasiness.

At this time, a puzzled voice came from beside Kitahara.

"Mr. Kitahara, is there something wrong with Xiaowan?"
