push-off mechanics

Push-off mechanics refer to how your body generates force to propel yourself forward, especially during activities like walking, running, or jumping. It involves muscles, tendons, and joints working together to push off the ground or surface. When you prepare to move, muscles in your legs contract, storing energy in tendons. As you push against the ground, this stored energy releases, creating force that propels your body upward or forward. Proper push-off mechanics optimize efficiency and power, reducing fatigue and injury risk by ensuring smooth and effective transfer of energy during movement.
