@GregLehman @rich_blagrove @jn_inspire @BiomechMax @Brad_Neal_07 @RunningReform @ClinicRunning @tomgoom Specific to running and NM adaptations: https://t.co/7fntuQTjYg . There is also this from our work, showing reduced EMG and energy cost b/c of reduced v

@DrPhilipSkiba @ggsimpsonrun @AndyBeetroot @DrMJoyner @EliudKipchoge My understanding is that increased stiffness reduces the length-tension-velocity change experienced by muscle fascicles during GCT, which decreases energy cost. Based mainly upon work by

@rich_blagrove @BiomechMax @rwilly2003 @MarkWaltersPT @thefizzeo @sweatscience @BradSchoenfeld @tomgoom Our data suggest the same: https://t.co/D1Op3bosdR https://t.co/Go9M0Tl1jT https://t.co/imgo7tqaEH

...as we have shown, it is minimizing muscle shortening, thus muscle activation, which minimizes the energy cost: http://t.co/HrnNpNsKhy

@UKSportSci @MuscleScience We would suggest it is, but not how people traditionally think about it: http://t.co/eFb6NR0o1n
