Forums >General Running>So what would your evaluation of this running technique be?
Feeling the growl again
I think you mean, "apparently inconsequential". It might actually make the difference of believing in racing like an ostrich....
If the change does not make a difference in the coding of a protein or the regulation of the expression of a protein, it is indeed inconsequential...whether you are human or ostrich.

Oh yeah? Well, I have DNA from a 30 million year old dinosaur that says differently. So there. I mean, I don't myself have it. But I heard of someone having it. So there.
MTA: Obviously you don't want to run faster, or you'd listen to what I have to say.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Surely, you jest!

Just one ostrich/T-Rex reference for you.

As to the video links of T-Rex, obviously you know little about how theropods ran. Especially since all of the "models" are based on human parallel leg swing mimicry.

Except Dr. Falkingham (whom I have discussed the subject extensively) misses a major element to fossil record as well. They ran with an inline footfall pattern as well.Its funny how that history seems to be overlooked by your video "evidence"

Especially since this video of an Emu shows an inline foot fall as well.

And given that the fossil record is an inline foot fall pattern, the idea of being slow is argued better by Scott Persons. The same reasons Theropods ran inline with more efficient integration of their equivelence of the gluteus maximus is the same reason the Aborigines were as fast as Usain Bolt. the footfall pattern of both human and Theropod allows for greater tendon loading and power generation from what biologists call the catapult effect.

The difference in running technique between humans and ostriches is how they use their tendons. Humans can utilize the same biomechanic process as tested, but doing it to improve a sprint start doesn't compare to being able to utilize the same process every step.

the basic question, is that if so many athletes and the Aborigines as well run inline instead of in parallel leg swing, why is it less efficient than how you run?
Experts said the world is flat
Experts said that man would never fly
Experts said we'd never go to the moon
Name me one of those "experts"...
History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong
Looking at % homology is an incredibly coarse and uninformative measure; very large percentage of the DNA of any eukaryotic organism serves no known function in the coding of expression of regulation of any gene, making any differences in its sequence inconsequential.
Seriously dude? It's posts like that, that make it so hard to be an RA slacker that it would be easier to just get back to work.
Maybe I just don't have the right DNA sequence or something.
