Newton, following what Archimedes said: “Give me a fulcrum and I will move the world,” developed his laws regarding acceleration and motion. As we should know from basic education, the fulcrum and the acceleration are key elements of the technique to perform a movement efficiently; meaning, producing acceleration with the minimum energy possibly. The efficiency of the movement can improve practicing timing applying energy when on the fulcrum; finding the fulcrum in a matter of milliseconds with each circle of movement. The faster we find the fulcrum while perfecting the timing, the better we perform a movement. The success of a high performance coach will depend in how he/she will help the athlete to achieve a full fulcrum and the best timing. Most of the time learning will depend on the educational background of the athlete; it has nothing to do with the so call talent but basic education 101.
Look at the cheetah running; he uses two fulcrums
while running a cycle, the two front legs at a different time.
The cheetah changes on the air the fulcrum twice. Humans are unable to changes once on the air the fulcrum
(for the majority of mortals) while running a cycle, this is the greatest
disadvantage. The reason is that humans
do not find the fulcrum at the right time and the timing is not there. “Time out of joint” would say William Shakespeare.
Another reason to be fair about humans, it is that we move erected and the
cheetah is horizontal, one change on the air would be fair when we are erected. Look at German Silva changing on the
air.
Sometime we can compensate by
increasing cadence. Increasing cadence
is good and it is desirable, but we need to change fulcrum with one cycle all
the time first. When you do your easy
run change fulcrum all the time on the air and you will training right, it does not matter
how fast you go as long as you change fulcrum.
Even the bear can do this.
Now you know a bear runs. Think of yourself moving horizontally like a
bear, find your fulcrum and accelerate.
When you swim, you are horizontal and you need your hand to hold the
water, at the same time you need to have a balance to move forward while
holding the water. It is just like a
bear running. Jason Lezak, the man that
has the fastest 100 meters in a relay, says that it took him six years to
improve his balance in order to catch the water the most effectively he can.
Think about how to find your fulcrum while
baking. I will write a post next time.
