Faster, higher, no longer

Posted on September 14, 2012 by admin

I have just read an article in ‘The Economist’, (August 4th-10th 2012), entitled Faster, higher, longer , which suggests that sprint and athletic performance generally can be improved by up to 30% if the foot remains on the ground 0.05s longer, during the stance phase, to give the relevant muscles time to contract maximally. How would running have to change to allow the foot to remain on the ground for an extra 0.05s per step while reducing the time per step by 30%?
