Biomechanics of Movement | Lecture 3.1: Improving Running Performance by Tuning the Running Surface

Lecture by Professor Scott Delp of Stanford University on biomechanics of running. Learn about tuned tracks, the biomechanics and dynamics of running, and how a tuned track can improve running performance. You will learn about Tom McMahon's simple running model that helps to understand the influence of track compliance on running.
