11 mar 2024 · Here, the authors show that maximum running speed is limited by different musculoskeletal constraints across animal size: kinetic energy capacity in small animals, and work capacity in large...
28 kwi 2022 · We compared the data from lab experiments that measured participants’ energy-optimal running speeds with the free-living preferred speeds of age- and gender-matched runners in our dataset and found the speeds to be indistinguishable.
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.
8 wrz 2021 · Human sprinters max out their speed at around 45 kilometers per hour, roughly matching a sprinting domestic cat. Unlike quadrupedal mammals like the cheetah, humans lack the ability to gallop, and this is a costly loss.
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...
25 paź 2015 · The current world record for running speed is held by Usain Bolt at roughly 28 miles per hour, and it’s difficult to imagine running faster. But some individuals have speculated that it may be possible for humans to run as fast as 40 miles per hour under ideal conditions and circumstances.
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...
