In this episode, we explore some of the biggest sports science myths related to running biomechanics, strength training, and injury prevention. Is there a perfect running form, or does biomechanics suggest a more individualized approach? We break down key factors like vertical oscillation, cadence, and foot strike patterns to understand what makes runners more efficient.
We also take a closer look at strength training myths, comparing old-school weightlifting methods to modern functional training techniques. Does heavy lifting always lead to better performance, or do mobility and stability play a bigger role? Additionally, we discuss the ongoing debate about stretching before exercise and whether it actually helps prevent injuries.
This episode is packed with science-backed insights for runners, athletes, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts looking to optimize performance and reduce injury risk. Tune in to hear the latest research, expert opinions, and practical takeaways for improving movement and training smarter.
