Imagine if humans actually were taught to run, run everywhere.. rather than being taught, punished, or scolded when you run (i.e. scolded or punished for running in the hallway at school), so much so that running was as natural and normal as walking is. This shower thought always made me wonder how fast human sprinters could sprint if running everywhere was the norm :P

@sawyernorthrop4078 2 года назад

There are some tribes in Kenya that have a culture of running, and there may be similar cultures in other places too. People from these tribes are some of the world's best distance runners

@romanhama5377 2 года назад

@@sawyernorthrop4078There was a tribe in Africa that hit the children in the legs, and encouraged them to walk instead of being carried or crawling. The result was them being able to walk way earlier than children in other places. Also most of them could start running at the age of one! The environment they grow up in formed stronger children. That´s probably why most atleats excelling in running and jumping tend to come from harsher environments, but also DNA plays a big roll.

He set state records that held for years and the one thing he said was to sprint on your toes. Pretty cool. I also had a friend who told me that theoretically he had an advantage in sprinting (verified by his doctor) because he has an extremely high arch in his feet.

@cd-ux9ot Год назад

Usain Bolt has flat feet and scoliosis. I find that to be motivating!

@shay_3859 Год назад

They are both correct, and connected also. Running on your toes stimulates the muscles on the bottom of your foot and will strengthen the arch in your foot. Allowing you to make one that is very high. I recommend doing some research on it if you are interested. Walking barefooted is also a great way to get to this stage.

Okay, but realistically a pronghorn antelope will always win. Also In this video, all that was taken into consideration was raw data. Sure at top speeds, a horse would not out distance run a human. However, at moderate trotting (which are only recorded with saddles and riders on the horse) clocking in at 10-15 miles per hour for 3-4 hours. It is safe to assume that a horse trained to without a saddle to endurance run 350 Miles, could easily beat Dean Karnzes 350 mile run going 4.3 Miles per hour. Same with a dog, a cat, or an elephant. They all can outrun any human, and if trained equally to humans/given equal equipment, we would stand no chance.

@gourmetwaters6916 3 года назад

@@barodrinksbeer7484 I'd agree within your your parameters, but admittedly it's limited hypothetical conjecture. In reality it wasn't a race, we used all kinds of tricks - and dogs can be trained. I.e. antelope don't sweat. They overheat much faster, even at a moderate pace. Understandably, if a chimp with a spear and a wolf began chasing me, then my cortisol levels would spike, diminishing my motor function and massively reducing my efficiency over a long distance. I'd be sweating buckets, and it might be enough to keep me alive lol.

I used to have a German shorthaired pointer. These dogs are incredible at covering terrain, but even with the short coat, heating is definitely the bottleneck. It amazed me how effortlessly he glided up and down each side of the road and managed to explore every ditch and underpass and get a good bark at each dog while still keeping pace. In the same time he'd double my jogging distance, triple my walking. But when I maintained it for around half an hour, he'd start matching my pace, and be hurting without water to drink and splash in. On a particularly hot day, eventually there'd be a point he couldn't keep up.

This isn't something you train or work towards. It's a genetic ability he was born with. Yes, he did run for that length of time without sleeping or muscle-cramping but he is not a normal human.

Since we evolved in Sub-Saharan Africa is safe to tell that the ability to sweat plus resistance running would be a very effective away of get any animal tired withing the temperature range of our cradle.

@Lunaliladee 2 года назад

I personally am able to run faster, by running mainly on my toes. I never use my heel/the back of my feet when running, unless I'm slowing to a stop. Running straight and looking at the ground a few feet in front of you also helps you run longer. It helps by stopping you from thinking about what your trying to accomplish, and keeps you focused in yourself, not other people running around you. It also helps with staying balanced and in rhythm. If you have very good balance, than you might be able to run lower to the ground, which helps boost velocity. Very Slightly leaning from side to side when stepping/running also helps with rhythm and staying balanced. (These are all personally examples, I don't know what helps other people)

@bentos117 2 года назад

completely agree... some more added benefits for toe-running: 1) natural shock absorption - when running on full feet it is done by knees and back, which are not meant for such stress, causing problems in the long term; 2) more control of attack - can feel the ground thus reducing needed energy via better coordination of movements... one thing which helps me (apart from toe running and seeing the ground in front of me) is to feel balance in the back of head; from what I know control of muscles and blood vessels happens in a neural center located there... so I just start to feel the movement there, and it gets much more natural

@Lunaliladee 2 года назад

Yeah, I agree with the balance in the back of the head. Being able to control blood flow definitely helps.

Usually when running the best place to land is on the balls of your feet (close to the area where the toes connect to the foot) this helps with shock absorption and carrying your momentum into the next stride. Another helpful thing is dorsiflexion (tilting your foot up towards your shins) this again helps with maintaining your momentum, and also with shock absorption. But it also gets your foot in the ideal position to minimize the time spent on the ground and getting to your next stride. Do be careful not to dorsiflex too hard, this can cause you to be running on flat feet which can lead to you putting a lot stress on your knees. Same goes with running entirely on your toes, this can cause a lot of pain due to the high amount of force’s exerted on them. :)

@Blazeww 3 года назад

So humans could theoretically run 40mph. Is that assuming that the body ignores the damage and stress of running faster?

@beanz6634 2 года назад

I think so, i think its because of gravity. When we jump there is a millisecond or second of going down again, so if we try to run we halfly jump up.

My mother used to go for 10km runs out by our cabin in the summer. A couple of times, she tried taking our dog with her. Pretty sure she carried him back home each time. Poor little guy just couldn't keep up the pace, and slowed to a walk and refused to move any faster well before the point where my mother would typically turn around. At the time, I thought it was just because we didn't take him on runs enough, and he wasn't fit enough, and that may have been part of it, but I now understand that a good part of it was differences in endurance between our species. This makes me want to start running again. I was about as dormant as a hibernating bear for most of 2020 and 2021 so far, and while I haven't gained any weight, I want to be more fit, as I feel slower than I was before the pandemic, and I'm sure my endurance has plummeted.

I have dogs that I run with. A human can run a dog to death, especially high risk of its hot out. Because we sweat. And dogs can only take one breath per stride (while running, because their guts move back and forth, pulling air in and pushing it out) and panting is how they cool down

Would you look at that, now i understand sandman’s ability in jojo part 7: he runs a horse race across USA on foot, but he runs with his toes and so he can run for hours and really really fast, the explanation at first says that, as he runs with only his toes touching the ground, his legs don’t receive any impact and they don’t get tired giving him an advantage when it comes to difficult terrain, this also makes him very fast plus the shortcuts he can take (shortcuts that a horse wouldn’t be able to take, like a forest or a rocky canyon) he manages to stay in the race staying at a medium position until he finds a useful shortcut which could give him the lead. Cool video btw, learned a lot.

I am a cross country runner, and I can confirm to a lot of this. When going on hill trails, I never bring my heel against the ground even if I’m going up slow. There’s a reason why we always stretch out our calves before going on those 6 mile runs, and this video covers most of it. There’s also a mentality that if you walk you get into a trap of ‘oh it’s ok to slow and walk.’ Speaking of, there’s a set minimum speed I need to be at in order to be in a running stance, otherwise it’s an awkward trot/walk.

@frahigeli 2 года назад

@@gustavod62 Tesgüino is a fermented drink made year round from sprouted corn. Sometimes it is also made with still-green stalks, fruits of certain cactuses, shrubs, wheat, and trees when corn is sparse. The process begins by malting the corn and spreading it in a shallow basket covered with pine needles each day for four or five days. It is kept moist until the corn sprouts by which time the starch in the corn has been converted into smaller sugars. It is then mashed and boiled for eight hours. Varied herbs are ground up and mixed with water into a paste which is then fermented overnight by a fire. Then the paste is combined with the corn liquid and fermented for another three to four days. Partaking of the alcoholic beverage usually takes place soon after its preparation, as the tesgüino can spoil within 24 hours.
