For example, we believe our ancestors were incredibly strong, or that there is a tradeoff between speed and strength. The worst myth is that it’s normal to be less physically active as you get older. But modern hunter-gatherers remain physically active as they age. Humans need about 150 minutes of exercise per week to be healthy, but 80% of us aren’t getting even that. A good solution is simply walking more.

The Barefoot Professor: by Nature Video

27.01.2010
Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman has ditched his trainers and started running barefoot. His research shows that barefoot runners, who tend to land on their fore-foot, generate less impact shock than runners in sports shoes who land heel first. This makes barefoot running comfortable and could minimize running-related injuries.

Brains, brawn & the evolution of the human body: Daniel Lieberman at TEDxBermuda

10.07.2011
TEDxBermuda - April 23rd, 2011 Havard Professor, Daniel Lieberman discusses how to many, a massive brain is the quintessential human trait, but humans are also superlative endurance athletes compared to other mammals, especially in the ability to run long distances in the heat. In fact, the evolution of endurance made possible the evolution of large brains, and is so fundamental to our species' biology that vigorous endurance exercise is necessary for physical and mental health.

Ken Bob Running on treadmill in Dr. Lieberman's lab with force traces

12.09.2010
Dear Ken Bob Here is the synchronized video of you running in the lab along with the force traces. As you can see, you have a very elegant, perfect forefoot strike -- your foot almost looks like a plane coming in for a landing -- and of course no discernible impact transient. But, you already knew that! All the very best Dan (Dr. Daniel Lieberman - Harvard Skeletal Biology Lab) PS Regards to Cathy and Herman PPS You'll be happy to know that we have a large number of Harvard students now barefootin' along the Charles. http://barefootrunning.com/

Barefoot Forefoot Strike Running with Force - Close-Up

21.01.2010
This is the ground reaction force generated when forefoot strike running barefoot. Notice that this force trace lacks the impact transient characteristic of heel strikes (a nearly instantaneous, large force experienced at impact when heel striking).
