Dr Kim Hebert-Losier talks calf strength, testing, running and much more

Dela

I talk with Dr Kim Hebert-Losier.  An associate professor, biomechanist and physiotherapist out of The University fo Waikato.  You can see her profile here.

 

Some topics discussed:


  • running as rehab
  • her Calf App to evaluate plantar flexion strength and its potential relevance to clinical practice
  • whether body weight training, as opposed to heavy resistance training, can improve running economy (Kim was involved in a paper that showed this!)

  • whether you need to bend the knee to appropriately target the soleus (hint - you don't but there are some caveats)
  • super shoes and running economy
  • running technique and running economy
