How does HEIGHT affect Sprinting Speed

If you have a longer torso wouldnt that increase the surface area of drag/wind resistance?

Giraffe have the longest stride of all land mammals and can run at 60 km/h.
USAIN BOLT IS GIRAFFE

I'm going to grow to 1000ft and do it in one step

Its not just about height, you need to have a slim build too.

Bears are pretty tall and much faster than humans of any hight😅

9.83 With a height of 5'7, Su Bingtian is a total beast, really sad that he missed Paris.

Not a lot of people talk about this but imo one of bolts significant strengths is extremely low ground contact time with each step. He generates all the force necessary in barely any time at all. It looks like he is flying through the air on replays. This detail is critical because he is able to match the stride frequency and sometimes surpass their stride frequency and if you take into account his increased stride length then he always blows them out of the water when he reaches top speed

I'm 6'4 185lbs. I remember running so fast once my step propelled my body off the ground I thought my legs would turn over under me. It scared me and I stopped.

The shorter guy accelerates faster but the taller guy have higher top speed

Principal of adjustment .....long the leg have low the frequency.short the leg hv high in frequency., so everywhere nature balanced.

It's also worth noting Caucasians tend to have longer bodies and shorter legs while Sub Saharan Africans tend to have longer legs and shorter torsos which can explain with few exception of course why they dominate different sports.

Fastest man ever 6'5 let that sink in only another tall person will break his record

In my opinion the only way someone's going to beat bolt is as such. 1 day they really have to condition their legs to be extremely fast. Such as when Fighting athletes train their limbs to move extremely fast kind of like how Bruce Lee would get extremely fast movements and his enemies couldn't even react to his movement they need to do that but with legs for these sprinters. I believe the second key is to really look into the actual mechanics of the run maybe try a crouched run so you could push off more with more strength and veracity with each step. I'm seeing some inefficiencies with the amount of steps that people are taking they are very fluid in their act it's not as fast as it could be. That's me with my amateur input watching a 12 minute video.

Weight isn’t as bad in sprinting because the weight can help with maintaining top speed

Who's watching this after Tebogo won 200m Gold??

The Tebogo prediction seems to have been on the money. 😮

This video proved Subingtian is an absolute monster.

I am 5.2 ft , can i dream of gold medal dor olympic? I am 27 now overweight belly fat

Letsile 👀

It's very easy to notice that shorter athletes have better acceleration while taller athletes have more top end speed.

cheetah has long body and long legs is for a reason 😏

Bolt is nothing if he as tall as Su Bingtian

I say it all the time. In the USA we have track speed but our best athletes don't do track really. They go into basketball or football because you can make 10x more money. Top sprinters make like 2-3M which is great. Top football players make 25-35M

Don't know if height affects sprinting speed, but it definitely affects dating speed

Dude’s voice is depressing

I don't agree with it, I ran vanity track in. High school, my teammate with the name primo was 5 5 and can beat the breaks off anyone. In the 200 l, 100, 50 meteres 400 .. His leg muscles were insane talk about ripped l, that strength, stamina. Endurance has nothing to do with hieght.

Leg length is just like gearing in a car.
The time is all about power.

So theoretically speaking the ideal strategy would be to increase stride frequency and shorten stride length at the beginning in order to increase acceleration, and then gradually decrease stride frequency and increase stride length?

IM SURE A SHORT GUY WITH A HEAVY BMI WILL BREAK THE RECORD

The Chinese is 5’8 not 5’7 , this channel need more attention than women

Clickbait

You sound like you could slap bass real hard.

Bro said Bolt clone 😂

200 wr will be broken. 100m it will be a long time

I find it interesting that the fastest women are usually short.

Bolt was 6’5”

Life is so unfair in order for you to be even run faster then your friend your genetics (height)has to allow it in the first place

If Bingtan was 6 foot tall, not even needing 6 foot 4 like Bolt's, he would have beaten Bolt almost every time. Bingtan's strides turnover is quicker than Bolt's.

non of this is true, it all comes down to strength and power. some small lizards can sprint 20 MPH on their back two legs as one example

It is really annoying to hear all the TRACK ANALYST CONSTANTLY COMPARING ATHLETES TO BOLT: ITS ONLY 1-LEGEND AT A TIME: THERE WAS ONLY ONE BOLT FOR HIS ERA/TIME: THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER BOLT: ALL OTHER ATHLETE WILL WEAR THEIR OWN CROWN:❤🎉

Utubers on Track & Field analysis should learn the lesson by now: Noah Lyles,was so envious of Bolt's accomplishments that he tried to even outperform Bolt, instead he made an embarrasing spectacle out of himself: Instead od making his competators depressed; they demolished NL's. Leaving him on the track for dead: We must be careful what we ask for: Noah caught COVID as soon as he came off the curb instead😢

Noah Lyles act like a nice guy but he does not have a good heart towards anybody: He is a two-edged sword, which makes him dangerous and cannot be trusted:Noah's heart is just as currupted as Politrix & the currupted Investors who have come to currupt another good thing: The Olympic Sports was the last human decency that was left for humans to really enjoy naturally but like every industry the Investors gets involve with,they currupt: They do not create anything good but they destroy everything that is good:😮❤The love of money; is the root of all eavil: Noah need to ask himself 'if had died on the Parris track; what good would the money be to him: If the Olympic world 🌎 knew that Noah had COVID-19 2 dys before; it's their Medical experts cooked up a cocktail of drugs and fed it to Noah so that he could perform for them to make Billions of dollars in investments when he became the face of the Olympics, they gave him the win but not the face of the Olympics 😮😮😮🎉😂

I don't understand why they have not learned the Science about Bolt yet??? THE MAN IS GIFTED & CHOSEN BY OUR SUPREME CREATOR: HE ENTERED T& F WITH HIS GIFT,ALL HE NEEDED TO LEARN WAS THE TECHNIQUES OF THE GAME: THE MAN IS GIFTED!!! OTHERS ARE TALENTED:❤🎉😂

Sprinting can help grow taller right?

I'll be 9 foot tall with 1 foot upper body height and 8 foot lower body height, and do the 100m in 10 steps. I'll make sub 9 world record

Excellent Video guys.
Full of detailed specific knowledge .
