How to develop Curve linear running

from Cheeky Mid Weeky

Why NBA Players Keep Slipping (And It's Not Their Shoes) | Curvilinear Running ExplainedEver wonder why elite athletes like Jason Tatum sometimes slip when cutting around defenders? The answer lies in a fundamental misunderstanding between turning and curving that's costing athletes performance and injuries.In this episode, we break down the critical difference between radial and curvilinear running—concepts that sports science has been confusing for years. We dive deep into why most "3D" analysis tools are actually just 2D, how markerless motion capture ignores your unique anatomy, and why that defensive end can't just "lean" into his rush around the tackle.🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS:Rotation ≠ Revolution: Turning your body doesn't automatically create curved movementLean is a result, not the cause of effective cutting5 ground contacts are ideal for smooth redirection and reorientationEach foot has a specific role: outside foot redirects, inside foot reorientsForce is vector-based and doesn't turn on its own⚡ REAL EXAMPLES:NFL defensive ends rushing the QBHigh jumpers attempting curves in 3 stepsNBA players slipping on cuts around defendersPerfect for coaches, athletes, and anyone interested in the physics of human movement!
