Tebogo looks so smooth when sprinting you might think he runs a middle distance But no he runs like WR’s and 9:8s and 19:5s with his GOATED form best to ever do it

Tebogo’s technique can use some improvement, he runs the curve & top-end body position is upwrite more like a 400m or 800m runner.

The criticism of Carl Lewis is he used forward-and-back motion with his arms, in contrast to Ben Johnson's more efficient elliptical motion. You can see this with a simple test: rotate your hands in a back-and-forth motion and then move them in a circle. I was told this by a Russian sprint coach who apparently coached Valeriy Borzov.
@Dave-lr2wo3 ай бұрын
Nothing is inherently faster about an elliptical arm motion than an oscillating movement. In physics, the it's the application that determines the utility, and the complexity of the application matters. It's common to say that "we like efficient things and therefore they're better" -- and this is exactly why people try to "look good" when sprinting, even though aesthetics have only spurious correlation to utility. In fact, things that don't necessarily "look good" are atually faster. In the case of arm motion, the action of running is very complex. An oscillating movement could provide leverage, terminus pauses, and transfer of power on impulse, in ways that an elliptial motion can't. I have also studied the Soviet coaches, and I'm betting I'm one of the only people in the US right now who has a 1980s literature sitting on a side table in this actual moment. Aside from their use of drugs, the Soviet program did have lots of innovation and good analysis, although I would say in the horizontal jumps and throws more than sprints or other field events. Their use of other training types, plyos, periodization, and recovery were all well researched, but not all were useful in the long run.

@@Dave-lr2wo Good points. The factors of individual body types must also be considered. I remember when sports writers were criticizing the arm swing of Bill Rodgers (4x Boston Marathon winner), but a later biomechanical analysis found that this was necessary to compensate for the compromised leg movement on the opposite side of his body. You also see this in weightlifter, where a lifter will shift their hips or buckle their knees while coming out of the squat to find the path of least resistance.

Usain Bolt does not have the perfect or best technique just because he is the fastest. I vote for Frankie Fredricks. He has the most prefect technique of any runner I have ever seen, in my opinion.
