The Science of Parkour

The video explores the biomechanics of parkour, focusing on wall climbing, the Kong vault, and landing techniques. Studies show that technique is crucial for efficient wall climbing, with an ideal speed and foot placement. The Kong vault is analyzed, revealing it to be gentle on the body compared to gymnastics. Landing techniques, such as rolling and squatting, help minimize impact forces. These insights can aid athletes and others in reducing injury risk.
