Depending on the event. I'll do sprinting,100m, range of motion/centre of mass includes and is achieved through a combination of stride rate and stride length.the mechanics of correct sprint posture the forward lean with the head and shoulders directly above the hips, the ball of the foot should strike the ground creating foot flexion, which allows the calves to contract creating knee lift which incorporates the quads, hams, and glutes. It depends greatly on the athlete and which race they are running. Sprints, middle distance, and distance as well as hurdles all involve very different forms of running and different ranges of motion.:-)Give me some information about the major building "birdnest" of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games?
Range of motion is specific for each joint...eg shoulder, hip, knee etc.If you are simply refering to a middle distance (800m-3000m) runner then the range of motion would be in the region of 75 to 90 degrees in the hip and the main muscles used for this are the hamstrings, but the glutes and quads are also involved.
