I’m pretty sure they only talked about torque and nothing about sprinting.
In case you learned about torque from a gearhead, torque is essentially a measure for the rotational effect of force around a fulcrum. So, since most (all ?) of our limb motions are turning around some pivot point (joints), we can measure torque for all of those.
Now I realise how hard it was for them to define torque to me as a child.
Yeah, English isn’t my first language and the first time I heard the word was watching Top Gear as an adult a decade or two ago, so that’s my most immediate association 😄
