SHORT POSE RUNNING CONCEPTS

POSE Stance - Dr.Romanov's discovery and contribution to the sport of running, this is the most important position in running from which all movement is generated. Also referred to as an "S-spring STANCE" - keeping the runner’s body perfectly balanced on one leg, with weight above the forefoot and knee bent, making the body compact and loaded with elastic energy.

FALL/FALLING FORWARD - A second component of the Pose Method of Running. In order to start running, all you have to do is start falling forward/leaning from the POSE Stance [Read More...]

PULL/LIFTING/PICKING UP - The 3rd, the last and the most crucial component of the Pose Running Model. Discovered and introduced to the running world by Dr.Romanov as a part of the Pose Method® of Running system, the PULL or the LIFT as it is also referred to, is what sets the Pose Method of Running technique apart from all previously and currently introduced ways of running.

WHEEL - Reproduction in running of three major mechanical properties of the wheel - constant position of the general center of mass (GCM) above the support point, constant position of GCM on the same height without vertical oscillation and constant change of support. Application of it to running happens by keeping GCM of the body above the forefoot on the ground, reducing vertical oscillation of the body during change of support and keeping change of support very short.

CHANGE OF SUPPORT (CS) - Shifting the body weight from one leg to the other.

VERTICAL ACTION - Pulling the support foot from the ground up under the hip.

GRATUITOUS FORCES - Gravity, elasticity, inertia, Coriolis - forces working without the ATP breakdown.


DEFINITIONS

General Center of Mass (GCM) of the body - point in a body or system of bodies which moves as though it bore the entire mass of the body or system. Point around which the mass and weight of a body are balanced in all directions.

Ball of the foot - main support point in Pose Method of Running
Ground Reaction Forces (GRF) – Newtonian principle, where every force is met with an equal and an opposite force. The force with which foot hits the ground is met with an equal force that exerted by ground to the foot, and can measure up to 3-4 times body weight.

Muscle Elasticity - muscle’s ability to quickly return to normal length after being stretch under some loading and quickly released from it.

Range of Motion (ROM) – area covered by a limb or body during movement.

Ball of the foot (BOF) – also referred to as the forefoot in running literature, the area under the sesamoid joint, 1-st metatarsal and big toe.
