This is not exactly new research (its from 2005), but the response to the research in the blogosphere has been telling and follows a familiar pattern and it still continues to be mentioned, which kindled my interest to revisit this paper and review the reaction to it ( which is what I like doing !). This study transitioned 8 runners to the Pose method of running and used 8 as a control group. They measured a number of kinematic and economy variables at baseline and follow-up: Effect of a global alteration of running technique on kinematics and economy Journal of Sports Sciences Volume 23, Issue 7, 2005 George M Dallam, Randall L Wilber, Kristen Jadelis, Graham Fletcher & Nicholas Romanov In this study, we examined the consequences of a global alteration in running technique on running kinematics and running economy in triathletes.
