We discuss in this episode a paper I reviewed in Research Review 100 by Isabel Moore from Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK. "Reduced oxygen cost of running is related to alignment of the resultant GRF and leg axis vector: A pilot study" has been published online in The Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports. We talk about the terminology of kinetics and kinematics of running,clarifying the terms including Torque, Force vector and 3D biomechanics, the factors influencing running economy in recreational runners and some of the details of the paper study design and the results.
