Brian Clymer discusses the fundamentals of posture and tensegrity and how they relate to elasticity and reactivity in sprinting.

This really should have been the very first video I presented, if I was going by order of importance in the progression toward athletic development for whatever event or technical model you choose...but, frankly it is the boring stuff that will probably only be fully appreciated by the most serious and detail oriented of athletes, and coaches looking to understand more than just the event specific stuff. This presentation is meant to be one more in an ongoing series on running and sprint fundamentals.

What commenters say. Recommended as an essential resource on sprinting fundamentals, posture, and the risks of anterior pelvic tilt.

On “Why is an anterior pelvic tilt not good for sprinting?”

It is my understanding that it's usually caused by weak core activation (abdominal musculature, glutes) during sprinting and tight hip flexors/quads. One of the problems you're gonna encounter by having APT is an increased risk of hamstring tears, as the muscle becomes more stretched (especially at top end speed). It may also cause increased backside mechanics, which will probably reduce your speed. A neutral pelvic tilt is more beneficial as it allows you to keep your hips forward relative to APT and maximize front side mechanics. I would recommend watching this video to gain a deeper understanding of the importance of posture for sprinters. It is a bit convoluted, but it shouldn't be t…
