What kind of research is done on sprinters?
Sprinting has been studied for decades. However, most of this was done using video to analyze how sprinters moved. Using video gives you a picture of the kinematics. This is how we measure and describe motion through body position, joint angles, and movement velocity.
Why do sprinters sprint at a faster speed?
Your linear speed dictates why the big force you generated has to be applied in a small-time. The faster you sprint, the faster you need to apply that big force. Think about it. As you sprint faster, your body is moving over the ground with greater velocity.
How are sprinters able to use their glutes?
Picture a sprinter with their front thigh up high, about parallel with the ground. Then you use the explosive strength in your glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings to generate power and drive your foot down into the ground. “The top sprinters have developed a wind-up and delivery mechanism to augment impact forces. Other runners do not do so.”
How much weight does a sprinter have on each step?
Driving the leg down and back into the ground is going to create a big impact on each step. The peak force during that ground contact is going to be 4-5 times bodyweight when sprinting. Now imagine a 200lbs athlete, that’s 800-1000 lbs. on a single leg, each step.
