There was a video I watched years ago that had people run normal, the Naruto run.
Nonathletes were faster Naruto style, athletes were faster normal style.
They broke it down as if you’re not used to “controlling” your body for performance, forcing yourself into a weird form forces you to focus more so you don’t fall, so you get a bit more effort without realizing it.
If you watch olympic sprinters, they’re bent over to the same extent. I’m pretty drunk so this explanation might suck, but the front-heavy weight distribution that comes with it means its much easier to propell yourself forwards while sprinting.
Of course, you can’t hold your arms like that, it was just for ease of animation. But it’s not 100% totally and all-consumingly bullshit. Just like. Mostly bullshit.
Yes, you want to push your mass as horizontally as possible, which will be limited by the grip under your feet. Vertical motion is wasted energy, but if you’re full horizontal you’ll just slip.
I have a theory that the Naruto run works as a placebo.
Placebo works like a mental buff, you believe more in yourself and perform better.

Isn’t that how Naruto wins the fights too? He just believes in himself and the power of friendship, so he gets stronger.
So anon is lore accurate
yeah but theres also a demon who gives him power in exchange for his soul
now I’m worried about Anon
