How fast can humans run? Find out the biological limit and the factors that influence our running speed in this article from Science Focus.
26 maj 2016 · They conclude that (natural) human speeds are likely to be limited to ~50 km/h (as reference: Bolt's top speed during his 9.58 WR was ~44 km/h). Consequently, human running speeds in excess of 50 km/h are likely to be limited to the realms of science fiction and, not inconceivably, gene doping.
22 sty 2010 · A new study offers intriguing insights into the biology of human running speed. The study identifies the critical variable imposing the biological limit to running speed, and projects...
28 kwi 2022 · Human runners have long been thought to have the ability to consume a near-constant amount of energy per distance traveled, regardless of speed, allowing speed to be adapted to particular task demands with minimal energetic consequence.
6 paź 2020 · Together VO2max and running economy determine maximal aerobic speed, which is the slowest speed at which VO 2max occurs. Maximal aerobic speed correlates with race speed on shorter distances...
2 sie 2017 · Here, we review the physiological and biomechanical variations underlying elite human running performance in sprint to ultramarathon distances. Maximal running speeds observed in sprint disciplines are achieved by high vertical ground reaction forces applied over short contact times.
The newly published evidence identifies the critical variable imposing the biological limit to running speed, and offers an enticing view of how the biological limits might be pushed back beyond...
