Why is it important?
This techical note provides specs to understand the forces that the athlete exchanges with the track while running on different inclinations of the track's parabolic section.
Perspectives
The centrifugal track represents a great alternative to train for strength without the need of any device that may alter the athlete's posture and lead to injuries.
