Biomechanics | Paul Chelimo
Welcome back to my channel. Today, we're going to talk about biomechanics and running form, which are crucial for energy efficiency, staying injury-free, and running faster. Leomo company will analyze my biomechanics using motion sensors placed on my feet, thighs, and lower pelvis. These sensors track precise movements, providing raw data that helps break down and understand running stride efficiency and areas for improvement.
Neil Ross from Leomo explains that the sensors sync with their software, allowing for detailed analysis of running form. Good form is essential, especially in high-stakes races, as it can make a significant difference in performance.
In a personal reflection, I discuss how maintaining proper form helped me during the last 100 meters in Tokyo, emphasizing the importance of relaxation and arm swing. Efficient form, combined with a strong mentality, can lead to better race outcomes. For aspiring athletes, it's important to gradually improve form through consistent practice and not expect perfection overnight.
In conclusion, today's biomechanics analysis went great. I'm looking forward to the results, which will help me make small but crucial improvements. Thank you for your support, and please subscribe to my channel for more updates and content.
