Yes, but there would have to be other anatomical changes to take advantage of it, like having torso horizontally alligned. Human bipedal locomotion is a relatively recent development that had to start with a limb system adapted more for climbing trees. Birds and their ancestors (bipedal therapod dinosaurs) have been running around for hundreds of millions of years and have evolved a much better anatomy for it. Their knees bend backwards relative to ours (see ref). Birds that do not depend on flight to escape (like ostriches and road runners) can really book.

if your leg bent backwards would you be able to run faster? if you look at your leg it alreade bends backwards at both the hip and knee joint, it can only bent backwards at the knee inless you have some worrying problems with your patela (knee cap) and tendons. the only way to run faster is to be chased by someone/thing that wants to do harm to you or by some serious training at the gym or on the track...sorry

preparation is a controversy of inflicting a habit once you elect to, and making the sign to accomplish that further and added diffused. That pronounced, you need to use an extremely easy bit and then exert despite tension is mandatory to get her to quit/transition down. If it extremely is a warfare and hurts her in the commencing up, you nevertheless could desire to get it finished. in the long-term, you're coaching her your indicators do not count number till you particularly enforce them! At 3, she's studying and sorting out. you're actually not likely to "journey like that," you are going to coach her to pay attention so which you do not could desire to journey like that! Use the two reins mutually alongside with the seat indicators. If she is going by way of it, jiggle the two reins. If mandatory, mildly seesaw them. as quickly as she sees you recommend it, she'll start up combating with much less and much less tension, till in basic terms adjusting your seat will do it. stable success!

An engineer answer: i experimented. I ran backwards... It didn't work out as planned, I ran slower, so the answer might be... NO

In short no. If your legs were like that you would have some pretty serious patella sub-luxation going on and your knees would just dislocate - yuk.
