    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff's_law

    Wolff's law, developed by the German anatomist and surgeon Julius Wolff (1836–1902) in the 19th century, states that bone in a healthy animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. [1] If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading.

    Wolff's law: Bone adapts to pressure, or a lack of it. [19] Woodward–Hoffmann rules, in organic chemistry, predict the stereochemistry of pericyclic reactions based on orbital symmetry. Wright's law also known as Experience curve effects postulates that as production doubles, the cost of production will decline by a constant percentage.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomechanics_of_sprint_running

    Sprinting involves a quick acceleration phase followed by a velocity maintenance phase. During the initial stage of sprinting, the runners have their upper body tilted forward in order to direct ground reaction forces more horizontally. As they reach their maximum velocity, the torso straightens out into an upright position. The goal of ...

  5. Osteogenic loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenic_Loading

    The basis of osteogenic loading stems from Wolff's law, [5] which shows that the force or loading on bone through its axis, can stimulate the bone's natural function of increasing in density. Further study has shown that greater loads on bone can stimulate a greater effect of the body to respond and increase the density of bone, and can show ...
