PRO Sprinters do NOT land under their Center of Mass!!!

- Finally we can put to bed the age old MYTH that pro sprinters strike the ground UNDER their COM/hip.
"Landing point" really isn't debatable. It's the microsecond that the foot makes contact with the ground. How can it possibly be anything else? It's not 2/4/10 or even 1 single frame after the initial contact point...It IS the initial contact point.
In this video we take a look at the actual footage of Usain Bolt and Justin Gatlin and others, to show the landing points of these runners.
So is the advice you're hearing, including some actual pro athletes telling you that you MUST strike the ground under your COM/COG/hip good advice? Or that you're over striding if you aren't landing under your COM/COG/hip?
Watch the video and start seeing what's in front of your eyes!

Correct it’s never been like that nobody can strike directly under them theirs just not enough time to produce the force it’s like the high knee queue it’s an exaggeration
100% correct! 👍
I’ve heard that too. You land a bit in front of your center of mass. But that doesn’t mean the more in front the better
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.
See Sha carry Richardson and Florence Griffinth Joyner,
For what, more evidence that no runners land under CoM? 🤣
Point 1) "Landing under your hips" is a coaching cue to prevent the athlete from over reaching too far in front of hips. Over reaching is a common problem of people trying to increase their stride length and the term 'land under your hips' gives a proper mental image for the athlete to follow to prevent the over stride.
Point 2) In those videos, the foot is touching very slightly in front of the hips, but the actual landing or absorption of impact IS directly under the hips instead of out front. If absorption of impact/the actual landing was in front of the hips, those sprinters would be watching the races instead of participating.
Point 3) 'Under the hips' is relative and not exact.
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. 👍
I was wondering about this, I tried running where I took the longest strides I could as fast as I could and then I tried running with my feet landing under my center of mass and I felt like I was missing out on the potential for better stride length. Also I'm more comfortable landing slightly in front anyway
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.
I land under my hip but my running cycle is different
You don’t, and it isn’t. 👍
Thank you
No!
I land under my center of mass. But I'm a kangaroo. So, I don't think I count in this debate...
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. 🤣🥳
Land under your head not com
wow. imagine how fast they would run if they improved their technique
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. 👍
where is the most power generated while it is on the ground...there has been a diagram of the force created and it was very lil force created when the foot strike was a bit in front him and the most force was created when the foot was under the hip...your arguing a moot point
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. 👍
Center of Mas is in front of the body in that current sprinting pose
ruclips.net/video/HSW8gXmOazs/видео.html
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.
u should testing force created from ground strike and where the foot is when the most force is created... its tough to generate ground force when your extremeties are farthest from the body... throw a punch with ur elbow tucked at ur side using ur hip... throw a punch with ur arm extended using ur hip...which one generates more power... makes sense theres only 34 comments...
Mostly stupid comments that miss the point…just like this one! 🙄
This guy isn't thinking
@@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!
Cherry-picked video result. Not even close to accurate.
You’re high right!!! 🙄
@@theslingmethod With responses like that, it seems like you're not open to correction.
@@TheMsyZa the evidence is in the video and in the scientific literature and is not at all cherry picked. It seems you’re here only to argue and be disrespectful. People seem to want to ignore facts and scream “cherry picked” because they disagree but without ever putting forth evidence to the contrary. So basically arguing for the sake of just arguing.
