Why do the Ninja run like that?

[Ryóma]

Why do the Ninja in Naruto run with their arms behind their back? Wouldn't they lose balance and how would they gather speed? Also, of a real life person did that, they would look very strange.

So they won't get heat rash between their armpits

Seriously!?

 

[Ōkami]

Seriously!?

Ya man, it was in the databooks.

If they run with their arms moving, it would be more physically draining since they have to run and move their arms at the same time. It seems to be more efficient running without arm swinging. Plus, it adds a "cool factor" as well.

But don't the arms create momentum to go faster? And if they fall, they'll fall on their faces.

Yes, have you ever had heat rash before? Hurts like a *****. Imaging fighting like that.

Hmm... No I've never had it before and never heard of it either...

Well yeah. But in NV, they seem to use chakra to enhance movement. If they can use chakra to walk on water, they likely use it to not fall on their faces while running. Even then, I wouldn't use real life logic to explain everything in a fictional story. Lol

You should be lucky than, it's where you a bad rash when running to much.

Okay. Well I hope I never get that then, cause I run around a lot!

 

[Sakuto]

They focus chakra in their legs to run faster.

I guess they could do that.

 

[XxLotusxX]

I would guess it's so they can grab things from their back satchels quickly.

 

[Nasai]

Me and my friend ran like that!!! Lel!! It's actually quite fun! Yeah, but it was kinda awkward!

I don't think so...

I'd say aerodynamics, they can run faster like that hypothetically.
