If Bolt's long legs give him such an edge, why haven't there been more tall sprinters
I haven't rejected your long stride theory, I only ask for a proving. If you can answer the ? to my satifaction then I'm quite prepared to accept your claim of " lies ".
However, the " evidence " Prokopy puts forward is in three different components.
1 Force of stride. 2. Length of stride 3. Frequency of stride
(1) " Bolt's foot explodes off the ground with more than 1,000 pounds of force, compared to the 500 pounds of an average person ".
(2) ' his stride is nearly 8 inches longer ".
(3) " his stride frequency is about the same as his competitors ":
You only address one of these components, so your long stride theory, by Prokopy's reckoning, can only be 33% accurate, at best, (if all components are given an equal weighting)
" He's been able to marry tremendous GENETIC ADVANTAGES with a TON OF PRACTICE AND WORK ETHIC," said Prokopy.
Tbh, not the most well planned or detailed approach as Prokopy's statement clearly states " genetic superiority " ." and improvements thru training, with coach Mills ".
Unless you don't actually agree with Prokopy at all, or can prove a " genetic advantage " is in someway ......." inferior ".
