Human Locomotion

Here’s a super-cool topic we are always bouncing around in our community. Members in The Lifetime Athlete App use locomotion in a variety of applications, depending on their goals and body situation. Episode 386 of The Lifetime Athlete Podcast features a discussion on the following:

  • What is locomotion?
  • A very general overview of stance and swing phase mechanics.
  • A quick look at pronation/supination and pressure distributions in the foot.
  • Our model of walk-jog-run-sprint.
  • Consideration of racewalking as a transitional stage between walking and jogging.
  • Appreciation of striding as a bridge between running and sprinting.
  • General concepts of zone-specific training.
  • Not everyone is a runner by identity or chosen sport.
  • Why all Lifetime Athletes benefit from having access to locomotive competency if it’s accessible.
  • How speed prevents death.
  • And more!
