The difference is that when you run barefoot the muscles and tendons of youre feet take up the load and then after they take the load they spring back and propel you forward, youre foot is like a spring, you land on front foot then midfoot and then lightly land on youre heel so the muscles and tendons absorb the shock instead of cushion (I didnt enjoy running until i started running barefoot, once you get the technique right running becomes so much more fun, efficient, faster, and less painful)

For sure! I believe it's all in the runner's preference for feel.
@johntay3831Ай бұрын
@@ryanbalmesdpt it’s not a preference, it’s a fact. The more you train the feet fascia/muscles, the denser and stronger it becomes and more energy return when you run in minimalist shoes. You need to slowly progress to it if not pain. Slow jogging is the best method if you wanna train for this.

This is truly "old school" dragon boat technique that will destroy your shoulders. The problem is the top arm. When the top arm is extended like that it is only supported by the rotator cuff muscles which are very small and relatively weak. If you drive that top arm down from that extended position you eventually will injure yourself. Look at the best paddlers out there, the Tahitians, and you will see less rotation and less height on that top arm. With the top arm slightly bent and lower it is supported by the larger muscles around the shoulder and much less prone to injury.
@ryanbalmesdpt2 жыл бұрын

@ryanbalmesdpt Жыл бұрын
You got it. Physics wise, you'll have to use your legs and feet to "anchor" into the boat. This way when you pull on the paddle in the water the boat will move forward. How you brace your legs in the boat will all depend on preference (digging in the heel for hamstring activation vs pushing your knees out against the boat)
