@@malcolmbalk8346 Great spot!! Yes, there’s a point in the gait cycle where the movement comes almost to what looks like a “stop” as the direction changes. This is the point in the ellipse where angular motion becomes difficult to see as it’s so acute. Movement in gait is like a wave along a ribbon, like a gymnasts ribbon as it’s a sequence. Upper and lower body are connected and although connected they act separately with the connection via the lumbar spine. As the sequence passes toe off, the direction of the upper body has changed and lateral spinal flexion occurs, the delay in communication through the “ribbon” line fascia is why for a tiny micro second we can have shoulder rotating in the same direction. The upper body ellipse and the pelvis ellipse work together in opposite directions and the pelvis ellipse is on a slight delay to the upper body ellipse. That is why the upper body ellipse drives the pelvis via the spine. Hence “The Spinal Engine” and the “Pelvic Gearbox” is how The Sling Method teaches the movements. Timing is key and training the movement is the key to gaining timing of the sequenced coordination to the gait cycle. It’s what The Sling Method does. 👍

Thanks, Edu!

@@jz5005 coulda just said “thanks for the info” but no, you choose to complain instead!

@@theslingmethod yea, I’m awful. I had a dreadful week. But I do appreciate your content and the tone in my head for that comment was light hearted, but clearly did not come across that way. Still, some say it’s not a bad idea to consider whether there’s anything they might take & mull over, from even the most dreadfully annoying people, or not. Keep on Slingin’…

@@jz5005 with the interwebs these days full of keyboard idiots, it’s really hard to distinguish what is joking and what isn’t. Especially without an emoji or two. I get some of my content is longer than others’ however that’s the nature of sharing science and facts rather than the drivel of BS that most share. Thanks for replying and making it know you were joking, I do appreciate it. Hopefully you got out for a run and your week gets infinitely better. All the best. 👍

@@theslingmethod Thanks man. I’m just a cranky old man who is hoping to compete in my first Masters Track meet this year (in long jump, >50). I was intrigued by that vid. as I haven’t been able to run at even 50% for months due to a recurring hamstring pull. Very frustrating. So I took a break from the 10 hours of contract drafting I’m catching up on this wknd. to listen. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to give it my full attention, and in the end I wasn’t sure what or which of the 47 hamstring exercises I should be doing, which maybe wasn’t the point of it anyway. I appreciate the good wishes & did have a good work out this morning. I’ve mainly been limited to technical drills and very light sprints & take-offs into the sand pit. Gradually building my ability to increase speed without any muscles exploding.

@@jz5005 well now you’re here, and now you know about The Sling Method, maybe it’s time to take a look into it. We work with runners all over the world and get amazing results by being gait specific. I’d love to get you out of “cranky” and to that track meet and competing! 👍

@@cooliamcool06 I’m thinking that most people who comment are either clueless or suffer from cognitive dissonance 🤣🤣🤣

@theslingmethod do you run track?

@@cooliamcool06 I think you missed the point of the video.

@theslingmethod Your just not right

@@cooliamcool06 the video proves that I am!

Point 1) many coaches actually don’t know it’s not possible to land under our hips/CoM/CoG and blindly say it is possible. Point 2) “touch down” IS the “landing” as per the actual research and force plate analysis of runners. Pre mid-stance can I licit over 500lbs of force in sprinters and a little less in endurance runners. Point 3) “under the hips is under the hips” it’s either under the hips or it isn’t, and it isn’t. 👍

The “Spring Mass” model and “The Spinal Engine” model of running. Which combined = The Sling Method. Both the Spring Mass model and the Spinal Engine models are incomplete, however when combined we get a new model.

@theslingmethod thank you sir, I've not heard of spring mass before.

Do you have a contralateral hip drop?

@@theslingmethod yes

@@jadubb95 then you want the Runners’ Rehab online course. www.theslingmethod.com

For what, more evidence that no runners land under CoM? 🤣

Definitely! Thanks for commenting. 👍

Those are the kind of things we do in The Sling Method 9 week Runners’ Rehab online course to better running. 👍👍👍

@@theslingmethod yes,I also focus more on rotational exercises for cervical,thoracic and lumbar.I’ve watched a lot of your beach walk episodes.Amazing more people haven’t watched them.Used to have reoccurring Achilles and calf injuries,all gone.I will look into the sling method program next🙂

🤣🤣🤣 Maybe this was a little over your head! 👍

@@theslingmethod I know. Cuz all I see is running going on 🤷. 🤣

@@carycoller3140 exactly, running isn’t squatting, that’s the point.

@@theslingmethodThe only squatting I know is sitting on a toilet or illegally living in a house. So please explain.

@@carycoller3140 we’re discussing why running and squats are fundamentally different and why runners doing lots of squats in their training is illogical. The Sling Method is all about specificity of training for runners. 👍

Thank you, glad it was helpful! 👍

Thank you, although I’m not sure what you mean by “isometric lunge hold for a minute in each leg” as a lunge is on two legs? 🤔

I'm sure it felt like you were stutter-stepping, stuck in 2nd gear, and persistently about to fall on your face. That's how it felt for me whenever I tried this. You're not only pushing off when you are in contact with the ground; you are also absorbing the shock of contacting the ground before you can push off. But this narrator never talks about the knee bend occurring to absorb the shock until COM is attained, when the knee straightens and the push-off begins. If the knee was never bent, you would have a braking effect. But that's not what happens.

100% yes!

Anytime sir!

@dibdobdenby yes you could say that they are basically the same. Can walking fast cause proximal hamstring tendinopathy?…it “may” contribute to symptoms but it’s doubtful it would be the cause. The cause would be over stretched hamstrings caused by stretching or by tightness elsewhere creating the imbalance at the pelvis creating the situation at the hamstrings placing a deformation stress on the hamstring tendons.

Soooo important to have the correct beach tools!

Mostly stupid comments that miss the point…just like this one! 🙄

The point is the point…stick to the point and you won’t think the point is moot by arguing something completely different to THE point. 👍

Hahaha

@@theslingmethod LOL!!! I'm glad you found this funny. 😆 I wanted to lighten the mood in the comments section. 😊

@@Fire_soul1796 thanks, it’s needed. 🤣🥳

You don’t, and it isn’t. 👍

Nowhere ever was that insinuated, nowhere!

I think coaches give that queue to fix sprinters who are over striding but in actuality you are not landing underneath your hip. Because if you say land a bit in front of the hip they start tippy toeing, reaching which is not good. Good stuff brother

@@osamaalshareef491 after speaking with hundreds of coaches about this, the vast majority actually do believe they can land under their body and that it is beneficial. The sad part also is that most don’t even understand or accept the fact that the faster we run, the further away we land from our CoM. They, for some reason believe that the faster we run the closer to CoM we land.

A bike will stay upright as long as it has horizontal velocity. A human has a skeleton, muscles, fascia and a nervous system to hold it up. The force applied to a body to create and sustain forward motion is horizontal torque, in a rotational fashion. The muscular system tenses the fascial system which is wrapped in a diagonal format (spiral line) which creates a torque applied directly to the skeletal system creating horizontal force into the ground. The fascial system (like a spring being pulled on and lengthened and loaded under tension) is what gets loaded by gravity when we land and load “down”. The isometric muscle tension holds the fascia so it can mechanically load. The vertical force we get in running does not need to be over trained in the gym, as that’s not how it occurs in the way we encounter it in running. We see how easy it is to deal with vertical force by watching kids run who have never trained with weights. Remember running is simply using bodyweight at speed on one leg. Force is mass X acceleration or power = mass X Velocity/Time. We are encountering velocity of mass and application of our own force at the same time. There’s way more going on than just force and the structures in the body which encounter it are not just muscles. If I squat with 100lbs or 10,000lbs on my shoulders, meaning no matter how strong I become in a vertical orientation, is completely irrelevant as it does not produce horizontal force or create locomotion. Pro runners have MASSIVE stride lengths, they also cannot squat much weight as it’s irrelevant in stride length. The stride is a scissor action, nothing to do with squatting or how strong the quads or glutes are. I hope that all makes sense. I’d suggest watching more of my beach walk blogs and also following The Sling Method Facebook group page for more info. 👍

Relative to CoM the leg is traveling backwards before Initial Contact 👍 There is friction & gravity 👍

@@theslingmethod so how do you run on ice?

@@matriaxpunk take a video and show us how you run in ice. 👍

@@theslingmethod I can show you the video, is already online

It seems that I can’t post link, but if you search for “efficient running technique: running on ice” there’s a video of a runner running on ice no problem

Hahahahaha so you think the slower runners have better technique? Or is it the injured runners with the better technique? Imagine how the rest of the world could benefit if they stopped imagining fairy tales and unicorn stories! 🤣🤣🤣

@@theslingmethodyo one more thing, you know that the center of mass can shift depending on how you position your body? You can’t just say that the hips are the center of mass because the actual center of mass keeps shifting when you’re sprinting, anyways good video!

@@PythagorasFormula sure, can you identify where the CoM is 100% exactly? I expect probably not. As we know the CoM doesn’t move all that much in a “ContraLateral Reciprocal” movement such as running where a mostly vertical posture is seen, we know it doesn’t shift much at all. 👍

@@theslingmethod yes it doesn’t shift much but it still shifts, depending on how good your technique is. Btw I really liked your video, it would be amazing if you could also make technique videos

@@PythagorasFormula if you scroll through my videos you’ll see some posted here. Different to what some people do as The Sling Method focuses on biomechanics. Thanks for your comment. 👍

still behind the point of contact ... at least in the examples he provided

@@joshuahoover7700 yes. But much less than the draw overs suggest

Did you really just compare a backflip to running…really?

@@theslingmethod no. But to illustrate how much forward the center of gravity is on different body positions. When the body leans forward the COM is not in the hips as your draw over suggest.

⁠@@markusgptake a look at the biomechanics research, it’s clear. This video is a visual representation showing that no runners land under CoM. Did the fastest person to ever run the 100m land under his CoM? No.

By doing The Sling Method, it can be as little as 3-4 weeks, mainly because we focus purely on running biomechanics by training the running movement from head to toe. When we perform a gait analysis we will show you all the things to work on and retrain. If you’re interested in doing this please visit the website www.theslingmethod.com

Not sure what you mean?

100% correct! 👍

Yo!

It’s very simple to control breathing when you run, as breathing is directly correlated with your effort level. All you have to do to make it easier to breathe is slow down. To make it harder to breathe, speed up. Super simple. All the best. 👍

Thanks, Stephen! 👍

Thank you so much, trying my best to get this out. 👍
