How Connecting the Legs with a Spring Improves Human Running Economy
bioRxiv, 2023 Connecting the legs with a spring attached to the shoelaces reduces the energy cost of running, but how the spring reduces the energy burden of individual muscles remains unknown.

Don't break a leg: Running birds from quail to ostrich prioritise leg safety and economy in uneven terrain [PDF]
, 2009 Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a 500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they negotiate single-step obstacles that create a ...

Prolonged cycling lowers subsequent running mechanical efficiency in collegiate triathletes
BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2022 Background A significant challenge that non-elite collegiate triathletes encounter during competition is the decline in running performance immediately after cycling.

Effect of fatigue and gender on kinematics and ground reaction forces variables in recreational runners [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The presence of fatigue has been shown to modify running biomechanics. Overall in terms of gender, women are at lower risk than men for sustaining running-related injuries, although it depends on the factors taken into account.

Is the COL5A1 rs12722 gene polymorphism associated with running economy? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The COL5A1 rs12722 polymorphism is considered to be a novel genetic marker for endurance running performance. It has been postulated that COL5A1 rs12722 may influence the elasticity of tendons and the energetic cost of running.

Movement economy in soccer: Current data and limitations [PDF]
, 2018 Soccer is an intermittent team-sport, where performance is determined by a myriad of psychological, technical, tactical, and physical factors. Among the physical factors, endurance appears to play a key role into counteracting the fatigue-related ...

Hip muscular strength balance is associated with running economy in recreationally-trained endurance runners [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background The percentage of sustained maximal oxygen uptake and the running economy are important factors that determine the running success of endurance athletes.

Running for exercise mitigates age-related deterioration of walking economy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Impaired walking performance is a key predictor of morbidity among older adults. A distinctive characteristic of impaired walking performance among older adults is a greater metabolic cost (worse economy) compared to young adults.
