@WPC_ikeda @taku0726_tr Yes, DRI is more sensitive to contact time b/c displacement under gravity scales with time squared. If time increases without more total displacement, performance drops. High scores require BOTH short contact and large displacement. Modeling isolates the math, not the biology.

Always a pleasure to work with you Lance.

[Lance Brooks, Ph.D. @lancebrooks_phd]

No better day to be on the track w/ @Brose_royce & @SeanBurrell3 doing sprint testing and them sharing wisdom with the next generation

Huge thank you to Coach Justin and Mesquite High School for the hospitality & making it possible! @velasquezcoach @CoachRT1988 @SkeeterRecruits

@Dr_Weyand The need to call what it is - Acceleration-Velocity Profile.

Hi Jonas – You can easily check PubMed or Google scholar for both basic science & practical studies.

Important for both science & practice to know:

Does FVP model represent science of sprinting as FVP authors have claimed?

Congratulations to @SamLikesBiomech for his first basketball biomechanics journal publication! Here, we reveal the roles of each leg in generating upward momentum during takeoff after a running start.

@ASparksPhD Thank you Anthony!!

[Lance Brooks, Ph.D. @lancebrooks_phd]

I’ve been immensely privileged with a stellar advisor and look forward to putting my training to use in what will hopefully be fruitful and fulfilling research career.

Lance B’s efforts providing important basic info limits & determinants of max acceleration (imbo) – appreciated by UMOVE.

More coming soon.

Something for everyone who cares about:

Sport fairness
Human performance,
Field of biomechanics
Academic integrity in digital era
Science of running speed.

[Peter Weyand @Dr_Weyand]

imo - those who value inform. & prof. integrity, esp. in: biomechanic/human perf, in current information-challenged times, should know & understand this story

[Peter Weyand @Dr_Weyand]

Kudos to @Scienceofsport for wisdom & principle to tell story of science gone badly awry – a service to @Paralympics, fair sport, biomechanics, research
