Big man v small man

[kitkat1]

And, while this doesn’t necessarily discount the notion of max velocity will always win out, there are some coaches - eg John Smith (and perhaps Bobby Kersee when he was working with Flojo) - who espoused the idea that he didn’t want his guy (ie, Mo Greene) to ever hit max velocity due to suspicion he would “bounce” down rapidly off the ceiling. INstead, he preferred Greene and others to get close to top speed and hold that sub-max rating for as many 10m segments as possible - thereby reducing the deceleration zone.

The question of Big v Small is also bound up in the issue of lever length, lever strength and probably elevation (ie stride length).

Another issue is that of Mass + Momentum
