In this episode, we explore some of the biggest sports science myths related to running biomechanics, strength training, and injury prevention. Is there a perfect running form, or does biomechanics suggest a more individualized approach? We break down key factors like vertical oscillation, cadence, and foot strike patterns to understand what makes runners more efficient.
We also take a closer look at strength training myths, comparing old-school weightlifting methods to modern functional training techniques. Does heavy lifting always lead to better performance, or do mobility and stability play a bigger role? Additionally, we discuss the ongoing debate about stretching before exercise and whether it actually helps prevent injuries.
This episode is packed with science-backed insights for runners, athletes, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts looking to optimize performance and reduce injury risk. Tune in to hear the latest research, expert opinions, and practical takeaways for improving movement and training smarter.

In this Beyond Motion episode, the hosts have fun tackling questions on biomechanics, all generated by ChatGPT! They jump into hot topics like injury prevention, performance enhancement, and the role of data in sports. Should athletes use biomechanical data to boost performance, or is it an unfair edge? They agree itâs fair game as long as it doesnât replace hard work. They also dive into the risk of âanalysis paralysis,â stressing that data is most powerful when targeted and intentional. The episode gets even more lively as they explore whether cutting-edge gear, like high-tech running shoes, is fair in professional sportsâagreeing itâs all good if everyone has equal access. In a playful twist, the hosts share their own âbiomechanics wishesâ for everyday life, like making it easier to reach the top shelf or perfecting that airplane lift for their kids. With humor and curiosity, they bring biomechanics into the everyday, setting the stage for even more fun discussions in future episodes.
