Knowledge about the physics of running is of particular interest to high-level athletes who strive to optimize their performance, using a combination of expert coaching and state-of-the-art training facilities. To most people, the physics behind running is hardly given a second thought. But when medals, such as Olympic medals, are on the line then such thoughts become commonplace and turn into active areas of research.
When running, you need to have in mind:
Force generated during running.
Path traveled by runner's center of mass.
Arm swinging.
Effect of race curve on running times.
Effect on track material on running times.
