Ever notice how the highly trained SWAT captain with the nuclear-powered
bionic legs still can only sprint for 10 seconds at a time?

Yeah, but don't forget that estimated half a ton of weaponry and ammo
he's typically carrying around with him, so maybe the power required for
sprinting with such a load exceeds the miniature nuclear plant's nominal
power rating, and can only be sustained for a few seconds?

I'll grant you that. Altho not in Deus Ex.
(Altho I was amused at how you stagger around just carrying a rocket
launcher in the original Deus Ex unless you had heavy weapons training.)

How fast does he sprint? I guess it's similar to some top Olimpic athltes.
How much does he carry with him? About 1/2 TON!!!
How much HEAT does his nuclear-powered bionic legs will produce when
sprinting under that load? A LOT!
How fast can you dicipate that much heat? Not very fast. You don't have
much radiating surface, and you can't afford the noise that the required
fans would generate, nor the place for the needed radiators.
How much time before you get a meltdown, or start to cook the captain?..
about 10 seconds.

In this one? Not noticably. It's more like "fast jog" than what I'd call
"sprint."

Heh. Maybe.

Perhaps all that heat goes into powering his particle beam rifle, or whatever
permutation of <physics><projectile><guntype> he's currently using?
