A
acceleration (drive + transition)
maximal velocity
maintenance of velocity
2
Q
acceleration phase of sprinting is about
A
propulsion
3
Q
peak force is higher in sprinter or marathon runner
A
peak force higher in sprinter
4
Q
how is the point of application of force different in sprinters compared to marathon runners
A
the distance runners has greater displacement of where their centre of mass and their contact with the ground
5
Q
what is difference with range of motion in sprinters and marathon runners
A
as speed increases there is more range of motion
sprinter has a lot more extension and flexion
6
Q
the law of action reaction means the faster we move our hip the greater
A
counter rotation at the knee which will increase knee ROM for free
