wow, first off inter/intra muscular coordination is not genetic its based largely on environmental factors of the individual during the age of 2 to 6, the time in which the feed forward system develops. second one of the most technically profecient sprinters to ever, ever, ever, step on a track was borzov, and you cant get whiter the borzov (russian winters will do that to you).
Do you really believe what you just typed? Common… I can’t offer solutions to what you are saying but I can’t accept (from my own observations) what you are saying. I think the most naturally explosive athlete I have ever seen was a white kid…there was no intramuscular deficieny or what ever. This guy was just… fast. Do you know why he gave up? He believed (because the mind fuckers got to him) that as a white guy he was NEVER going to run as fast as a black athlete, yet he was competitive with black athletes. This guy run 10.8 secs off the street in his first season… (well he did play soccer). If you are fast, you are fast. If you train fast your will run fast. If you are not running fast then eliminate or decrease the inhibitors that are stopping you from running fast.
i know u r giving ur professional opinion from ur muscle research exerience, pls remind me how long have u been doing muscle research and at which laboratory?
the technical differences between borzov and lewis or powell or any sub-10 sprinter r so immense that u can’t even measure them. he was surpassed by many white sprinter including pietro menea, marion woronin, johan rossouw and many other white sprinters. although i consider borzov a great sprinter he’s definently not the greatest white sprinter. try giving a stronger example when trying 2 prove a point.
it’s definently easier 2 fix a intra-muscular co-ordination problem than a genetic disadvantage that’s 4 sure!
force is produced by the muscle, the more co-ordinated the muscular contractions sequence is the greater the force production. in our sport where power (that is force applied fast) is of utmost importance this co-ordination is critical. without it you can b the strongest sprinter on the track bt u won’t b anywhere near the fastest because ur power production will b very limited. there r of course way 2 train this quality bt the method is crucial, done incorrectly will worsen the problem.
you have absolutely no idea do you. why don’t you provide your technical expertise to back up your statements. mine you can learn in any book on motor learning.
have you see Borzov run, have you frozen the video measured the joint angles compared them to bio-mechanical indicators thus determining movement efficiency? No? so your assertion is just an opinion. just because a person is faster does not mean that they are more efficient, its simply an indicator. Efficiency mean just getting the most out of your bodies motor pool. you making wild claims, fine back them up or present an argument, don’t just give opinion.
does that mean it’s above ur intelligence. is that y u use words like stupid and retarded and can’t give anything worth reading 2 defend ur point of view.
actually, i have studied more video’s than u can imagine. if borzov was so efficient then he would’nt have hit a brick wall. he ran the exact same time in 2 different olympic finals the only difference was he won the one and placed third in the other.
i imagine ur point of veiw of the lack of speed of the white man is the classic genetic, got no chance in hell, one. well at least mine is original and can b inproved through systematic training and hard work.
if i provide the proof about my claims i’ll become the “BEST COACH IN THE WORLD”
Whats your take on maurice greene then? By the way I am not insulting you, I am just speculating that its retarded that you bring these arguements to the table which you can’t back up. Someone asks you how to improve intra-muscular co-ordination (that whites are aparently not as talented in) and you just dodge the question.
So you’ve studied Borzov have you? Well get back into class so you don’t miss the bit about the Munich track being double layed and soft as molasses and that Borzov was suffering from a muscle pull in 76.
10.14 is 1 thing, 9.87 is something totally different.
can anyone backup the genetic theory up, i seriously doubt it because there is solid proof that whites poses the same( in some extreme cases even more) amount of fast twitch muscle fibers and i know alot of white sprinters that have long achillies tendonds and there r alot of white sprinters that have long legs with regards 2 their torso.
so tell me now, y else would the white man b slower, what point did i miss?
the reason i did not give a direct answer is because he does’nt believe me in anyway and i believe, seeing is believing. u have 2 experience something like that!
just because it’s a different idea it does’nt mean that it’s retarded. i took offence at that comment.
i know that borzov was suffering with his achillies injury and i agree that he was technically very profficient bt my point is that u can’t compare his preformance 2 a sub-10 sprinter.
intra-muscular co-ordination, as u know, is something that happens within the muscle itself and is invisible bt u can c it’s effect, that is power out-put. so 2 compare borzov’s race execution 2 something within the body is not valid. it’s like cars they all have round wheels bt can differ in performance due to what goes on inside, the machanical differences within the engine make the difference.
a sprinter is like a formula 1 car every little part must work in syncronicity and perfection with the other parts. it has to b perfectly tuned 2 deliver optimal performance.
Where did 9.87 come from? When Borzor ran 10.1, no one was running much faster at that point in history. I wonder what Borzov would have run in Mexico City instead of Munich.
good question. i can’t give u an accurate answer bt i can give u something 2 think about. consider this, in 2002 tim montgomery ran 10.04 at the mexico olymic stadium and he was in good shape because he had just run 6.48 indoors a few weeks before and afew weeks after that he ran 9.94 in pretoria, south africa. it was also the year that he broke the world record in paris running 9.78s. that should give u some kind of an indication of what borzov could have run.
