Peter Weyand

Peter Weyand is a scientist who studies how humans move, especially running. He focuses on understanding the biomechanics—the forces and motions involved—in order to improve athletic performance and reduce injuries. His research explores why some people run faster or more efficiently than others, considering factors like muscle strength, limb movement, and energy use. By studying these aspects, Weyand aims to uncover the physics behind running, helping athletes train smarter and designing better athletic gear and therapies. His work bridges biology, engineering, and sports science to enhance human movement understanding.
