- xuhu 10y agoDoes any of this apply to the way humans run ? The 400m winners seem to keep their core at the same height between steps whereas I needlessly jump up and down at each step, probably wasting a lot of energy while doing this. Maybe I can blame it on the genes.
- brianwawok 10y agoAs a runner this is something you can approve over time. My watch even plots it as I run under the name vertical oscillation. Aka we don't need a gene to run smooth.
- ch4s3 10y agoor rather we already have the gene(s) that enable smooth running.
- brianwawok 10y agoI think smooth running is easier on 2 legs vs 4. 2 legged animals don't have a gait per say. Gait is the way 4 legged animals coordinate their steps.... we just evenly alternate.
