In Episode 7, when they play against Seiho, it shows that the way the Seiho
players run is different from the common way (specifically, the way they swing
their arms).

Does this running technique exist in real life?

I don't know this running technique, but I can tell you how important it is to
swing your arms properly while running.

Have a Look here -> [LiveScience Arm
Swinging](http://www.livescience.com/46844-natural-arm-swing-saves-runners-
energy.html).

If you have a look at professional runners, you will recognize how focused
they move their arms. I can't tell if this special arm swinging is working,
but there are surely different techniques to reduce your energy cost by
swinging your arms.

I think that although there are definitely ways of running that minimize
energy usage, a basketball team would most likely not implement these,
especially on e at the high school level. This is because almost everything in
basketball, from the way you dribble, to how you step into your shot, is
influenced by the way you run, so the players would essentially have to re-
learn how to play the game.
