If I'm correct, I wonder, does that imply we would do well to work on power endurance of the ankle more, and does the pedal stroke change significantly due to the ankle moving slower relative to the knee and hip due to the speed compensation of the less enduring ankle?<br/><br/>That may imply that fatigue at one joint would affect the mechanics of the whole. That would change my view of technique training quite a bit perhaps.<br/><br/>To the brain study, very cool. I wonder what effect fight/flight mechanism would have. Would results change if we thought a tiger was going to floss his teeth with our ribs?<br/><br/>The last study seems to confirm that good old body awareness is still huge. I love that Z-Health addresses this head on.<br/><br/>Mike, great stuff, thanks for posting it.<br/><br/>Roland.

That may imply that fatigue at one joint would affect the mechanics of the whole. That would change my view of technique training quite a bit perhaps.
