In this mind-expanding episode, I’m joined by sports scientist and biomechanics researcher Gustavo Leporace, who unpacks the findings from his newly published paper:
“The Search for the Holy Grail of Running Biomechanics – Is There an Ideal Movement Profile for Minimizing Mechanical Overload?”
https://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/PZ8SVIXH7GSZI7YPTJVQ/full
We discuss:
- 🏃♂️ Why no single “perfect” running form exists
- 📊 How machine learning revealed 5 distinct running profiles based on load patterns
- ⚖️ The difference between peak vs. cumulative mechanical load—and why it matters
- 🧬 Variables like cadence, duty factor, vertical stiffness, and movement smoothness
- 🔄 When changing your running technique can help (and when it can backfire)
- 🔍 Why injury rehab should first focus on load management before movement retraining
