This is a question for those of us who practise sports or are well into the matter. Here is the context:
"Ad ogni falcata, il piede di un atleta di 75 kg supporta una spinta considerevole: 300 kg se pratica il mezzo fondo, 450 kg se pratica il salto in lungo, 125 kg se gioca a basket (in occasione della ricezione dopo uno smash). La scossa ricevuta varia a seconda del peso del corpo, la natura del suolo e la velocità della corsa."
I suppose by *mezzo fondo* they mean some swimming discipline - although I'm not sure.
Can you help ?
Thanks, Manuela

middle distance running
Running rather than swimming I think, the middle distance events being the 1500 - 5000 metres.
