Dr. Ken Clark discusses top speed sprinting mechanics, focusing on ground contact mechanics, leg angular motion, and vertical force application.
I’m Dr. Ken Clark from West Chester University and KenClarkSpeed.com. The goal of this presentation is to connect concepts related to top speed sprinting, including the relationship between Ground Contact Mechanics, Leg Angular Motion, and Vertical Force application.Why it's here

On “how good does your genetics have to be to have great 'technique'?”
…ont side technically than those that are not as fast.
You will find that once you discount style, they all pretty much run with the same technique. Some are more closer to the optimal than others but you can probably categorize them into the same group/class than other less accomplished sprinters.

"Genetics" may contribute to technique but there are so many variables that determines style and technique that more than likely genetics doesn't have as great an impact on these areas as you may think.
If we are talking about the intrinsic qualities of musc…
