Movement economy

Movement economy refers to how efficiently your body uses energy to perform a specific movement. Think of it as the "cost" of moving; a more economical movement requires less effort and consumes less oxygen and calories. Factors like proper technique, muscle strength, and coordination influence movement economy. When movement economy is high, an athlete can perform longer or at higher intensities without tiring quickly. Improving movement economy can lead to better performance, reduced fatigue, and enhanced endurance, making physical activity feel easier and more sustainable over time.
