His left arm comes across his body, creating a slight twist in his torso when he runs, corrected, this could increase his time by .2 of a second over 100m

[HPCsport]

@ryball2000 Arm swing means far less than you think if you think that correction would produce faster times. Arm swing is generally a function of what happens in the lower body and attempting to make the arm swing look pretty without addressing whatever is causing it to look asymmetrical would likely make the person slower. Research evidence from Ralph Mann shows that the arm swing contributes relatively little to upright sprinting performance.

pretty slow but good techinque

[HPCsport]

You do realize that portions of the video are at 1/4 speed don't you? This gives the appearance that he is running slowly.

I saw this dude on Pros vs Joes

Relax the shoulders and let the arms swing. but good form nonetheless.

@HPCsport: Anyway I think Dallas has a really decent technique and good potential so the debate is not about him..just about sprinting ideas.. I heard he pulled a hamstring something like before Olimpic trials or something like this? Is it true? And now in 2011 how are things going for him? Is he back in shape? Hope things are going well for him!

@HPCsport: anyway in my opinion, I'm speaking of what happens AT max speed, I think arm swing is far more important than what most people would be tempted to think. I would almost say what happens in the lower body is almost a function of proper arm swing and sprint position...

[InAWinkOfAnEye]

@HPCsport: Charlie Francis pointed more than often the importance of arm swing in good sprinting technique...Another thing of importance about arm action in sprinting is the nervous traject in the body in the way that arm actions precede a little bit the lower body action so it is important on relaxing shoulders and pumping the arms really fast, in the lower body the important stuff comes a lot from dorsiflexion of the ankles and good backside mechanics, bringing the feet at opposite knee level.

@HPCsport:I think arm swing means A LOT in fast sprint times, but maybe not just in the way ryball2000 pointedt it. Ryball's kind of right in a sense,but the problem would as well be a lack of core stability in anti-rotation so the problem of torso rotation might as well come from the core.But the other reasons for the importance of the arm swing would imply to keep the hips at a correct height to bring the hips up and reach triple extension adequatly at each step.

Really Nice Form U arms were pefect
