As the heart is on the left side, for humans and animals, running anticlockwise makes the centrifugal force in the body to act from left to right. Whereas it is from right to left for clockwise running.
Superior venecava takes blood to the heart aided by heart suction. This vein carries blood from left to right. Centrifugal force due to anticlockwise running helps this suction.
If we run clockwise, the centrifugal force impedes suction. That is why, in olden days, health officers ensured that all carnival merri-go-rounds were run only in the anti-clockwise direction.
Racing tracks, animal shows in circuses, bullock-drawn pelt on wheels, all mostly have only left turns. Stairways in temple towers have only left turns for going up.
Clockwise running tires people, especially children, easily.
As we know that if we breathe from left nose hole, cool air will go inside and if we breathe from right nose hole, warm air will go inside. When we run on a circular track anticlockwise, we will breathe from right nose hole .Which will warm up our body and we can run more fast as when we start race, we first warm up our body and then start running.
not necessarily. i am a figure skater and i know the answer. some people jump clockwise, because they are right handed, which is known to be more common. if they jump counter clockwise, it means their left handed, which isn't that common.
Remember: Clockwise = to the right
Counterclockwise = to the left
It's physically impossible for someone to rotate to the left and land on the
ROE.

Hi. I am also a figure skater and I'm from Ohio, I agree with your statement about being right handed and going in the right direction. But I did want to discuss with you about your directions!

I just wanted to make that clear. Check a source! And thank you for your time.
I have actually seen Thoroughbred racing that went clock-wise, though a majority are counter-clock-wise. With speed skating, the majority of people are right handed. Skaters I think put the left hand on the small of their back as they race, while the right arm is swung back and forth to propel them faster and forward. For right handed people this would be more natural.
Some are run clockwise. At some courses, there are tracks run in each direction e.g. Uttoxeter.
Right handed batters were predominant in those days, and their batting stance transitions more smoothly into the run to where first base currently sits.

What races are run at Saratoga Race Course?
They have horse races and car races.
Why some races go counterclockwise?
Most all races go counterclockwise, especially foot races. The reason for this has to do with the idea that the right side of the body is stronger, so the outside leg on a counterclockwise turn is designed to take advantage of this tendency. This mostly gives advantage to right-oriented people, and left-oriented people have to accommodate the 'rightees.'

Direction that horses race in Australia?
Horses are raced both clockwise and counterclockwise in Australia. The decision to run horses counterclockwise in the US dates to the American Revolution era. In 1780, the first circular US race track was established by William Whitley near his home in Lincoln County, Kentucky. A staunch supporter of the Revolution, Whitley insisted that horses race counterclockwise, as opposed to clockwise as was the custom at the time in England. Some but not all American tracks followed the change immediately. Belmont was run clockwise from its opening until 1921. Today about 30% to 40% of English horse racing is now counterclockwise like all horse racing in the US.
