Congrats on the PB syrus.
I was wandering, does having a good vert/training the vert, correlate well with sprinting?. More so than a good broad jump, since sprinting involves more maximum horizontal propulsion?.
The reason I ask that is because Dwain Chambers has a 62 inch Box Jump (video below) & regular gets smoked by guys in the 100, who I would bet a bit of money on not having the same jumping ability in terms of height, as Dwain?.
What do you reckon?.
If you could choose between Jonathan Edwards broad jump of 3.14m or a 62in vertical, what would you choose?/why?.
That is surprising. I would have thought that would relate to faster times (greater relative strength)?.
