All well and good but, are they effective against Kaijus?

[Ranxerox]

Didn’t Jackie Chan make a documentary about this?

I wonder if is gyroscopic so the user doesn’t trip while the pelvis is being torn asunder.

Less than a one second increase in time in a 200 m sprint.

I’m not impressed.

“this exosuit aids in sprinting, a fundamental human ability”

Fundemental? I can see walking as a fundamental human ability but running might be an extension of walking but only for short durations, sprinting for even shorter durations.

How does that meet the parameter of being baseline fundemental?

It would be interesting to see how much it helped trained and competitive runners.

American sort of anime.

Cancelled just as it was going places.

You can probably pick up 0.97 of a second just having the wind at your back.

You could do better than that with a swarm of yellow jackets after you.

Those are good for kicking Alien butt, too...

Back when tv was cool…

TV is now the vast wasteland.

You can probably pick up 0.97 of a second just having the wind at your back.

Not when the record is 19.19. I suppose if your in a 200 mph hurricane wearing a parachute.

It could use a bubble canopy.

I only watch NCIS, and that’s going downhill.
It had a good run, time to end the show.

I’ve been watching Miami Vice online.
After I’m done with all of those, I’ll go to Magnum PI.

Justified.

“assists wearers in extending their hips during high-intensity running. It applies a subtle tensile force parallel to the hip extensor, allowing for a natural, unobstructed sprinting motion. Wearers can experience enhanced energy efficiency and maintain optimal performance for extended periods. In straightforward terms, the exosuit opens the body’s hips up more and aids in the spring-back motion of the hips during running, allowing the runner to use less energy. “

So,

1) you have to put extra effort (extra energy) INTO the running, in order to overcome the resistance the device adds (the subtle tensile force parallel to the hip extensor), in order to get it to “snap back” passively for you. So users who practice with it will by design be increasing their muscle mass and hip flexibility, and so it might not be the device that increases the speed of running directly, just indirectly;

2) clearly, the designers/authors of this device/report, are youngsters who are flexible and heal quickly. To an older person, just the thought of this significant increase in hip workload/movement (essentially, physical therapy) and the attendant back, hip, thigh, and knee soreness and pain after even one session, is enough to say, no, not interested, hard pass!
