Supertraining

I would have thought that the team would look very closely at 
that and not focus on metabolic cost of swinging the legs


Hi Paul!

I don't know if Dr. Herr's research team ever pursued the metabolic cost of 
swinging limbs. This was simply my conjecture based upon the initial reports 
relative to the Cologne study that focused on the weight of the Cheetahs 
yielding a reduced metabolic cost. If this was indeed the path the Cologne 
group was following, that would surprise me because it would indeed be counter 
to the swing data from JAP 2000. Maybe this is just an example of the Cologne 
position being misinterpreted.
