Saturday, August 23, 2014 at Hilton Chicago
Coinciding with the Transamerica Chicago Triathlon, Dr. Steven McCaw of Illinois State University will bring us the latest research and advances in the science of running. If you are one of the millions of Americans who run for exercise or recreation, you won’t want to miss this event.
Running might seem simple to us, but it requires the effective coordination of hundreds of muscles and joints, as well as the underlying physiological processes that govern and support them. The basic biomechanics of running involves contact with the ground, “flight time,” stride length, stride rate, and the motion of the joints. Small differences in the interactions of the muscles, joints and physiology can affect the biomechanics of a runner. Scientists use sophisticated technology to help them understand the details of this complicated process.
Understanding these processes can inform the decisions we make in our own lives. Millions of runners experience injuries every year. American runner spent over a billion dollars last year on running-related footwear with an interest in reducing injury, increasing comfort and increasing performance. Dr. McCaw will explain how to translate the latest scientific research into practical steps for reducing injury and selecting footwear. This program will lead to a deeper understanding and a greater appreciation for the biomechanics of running.

what assessment tool used in running biomechanics?

@jtkirk75rm Год назад

Read the book of dr. Nicholas Romanov The running revolution

his definition of fitness is wrong if I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure "fitness" is the physical ability to survive in your environment and procreate

@yohanra7017 8 лет назад

+Jan Smit I think he is considering fitness in terms of running....

@simonthebison 8 лет назад

Darwinian Fitness, yes. However this is "sport specific fitness". Being specifically fit to produce the intended characteristics of performance within one's given field/sport.

Typical dunning Kruger effect here. All those comments about pulling the legs up at the back as advice 🤦‍♂️ No! no no!!!! It’s a function of speed, you don’t want to consciously control this, it will occur by itself as a function of speed. Second massive blunder from this guy and whoever gave him the graphic that the legs is merely a passive spring to “bounce” on - complete rubbish. You need to actively push down the bent knee before ground contact so it smacks the ground at forefoot level to trigger the myotatic reflex a few milliseconds later for use at the push phase which creates efficient recycling of kinetic energy and energy from the brain as its a reflex controlled at the spinal cord. Third blunder, bone is not laid out “mathematically” it’s optimised by osteoblasts and osteoclast following the piezoelectric effect when the bone is loaded. Nothing to do with math. 🤦‍♂️ … there is more, I don’t have the time, I suggest the author starts running and test what he’s talking about for himself, maybe read a few intro to physiology books, anatomy trains by Tom Myers and lookup the work of Serge Gracovetsky on spinal engine on RU-vid.
