weightlifting yes, but not most track and field. It's pretty common for dancers to say "you should be able to slip a sheet of paper under the heel" for example

weightlifting yes, but not most track and field. It's pretty common for dancers to say "you should be able to slip a sheet of paper under the heel" for example. Pretty sure that's the case in tennis too. here's a stock photo of a runner: https://images.stockcake.com/public/7/1/2/7124d219-0531-40c1-944b-64902df0778d_large/marathon-runner-stride-stockcake.jpg https://images.stockcake.com/public/7/1/2/7124d219-0531-40c1... and here's one of volleyball: https://www.games-eshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/web.sp_.wvb_.LK_1-1.jpg https://www.games-eshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/web.s...

As a former competitive tennis player, moving the weight to the balls of the foot is recommended when in a ready stance, or when actively shuffling. It isn't something that would be expected when walking.
