Press Release: Running mechanics, not metabolism, are the key to performance for elite sprinters Sprinting performance isn’t a factor of conserving energy; Rather, forces applied by the foot hitting the ground maximize all-out bursts of sprinting Sprinters competing in the 2012 Olympics might assume their championship performance is the result of their fuel-efficient physiology. But a new study disproves the classic scientific view that conserving energy maximizes…
