Running seems complex, but if you view the entire system as a mechanical function, it becomes easier to understand. People first created running robots before creating walking ones. Their legs move like things on a spring. How do ambitious roller skaters complete jumps, spins, and high-difficulty aerial maneuvers? Besides extensive practice and personal conditions, they utilize the principles of physics. Biomechanics may not make everyone a top athlete, but it certainly helps us better understand the movements of our bodies. Whether you are engaged in any sport, understanding these is beneficial to you.
