Usain Bolt is currently the fastest man on the planet. He is a seventeen-time world champion and holder of at least eight world records that have not been broken by anyone. He achieved his success largely due to natural potential.
Genetics
His height is 195 centimeters and weighs 94 kilograms. Almost perfect ratio, considering that it does not have any subcutaneous fat. The vast majority of joggers have a minimal body fat percentage. It is simply not profitable for someone who runs to have excess body weight, since this is an extra load on the ligaments and joints.
Usain Bolt is a short distance runner. Any marathon runner with the same height would have a maximum weight of 80 kg. A sprinter always has a more pronounced muscle mass, there is much more of it. This is because short-distance runners tend to be dominated by fast, explosive muscle fibers. In turn, they lend themselves very well to building up volumes, and marathon runners are dominated by slow, hardy fibers that grow very poorly.
For Usate's growth, his lean muscle mass with little fat percentage is truly enormous. He looks out of the box, not like a regular low body fat sprinter. On average, he is taller than anyone in his discipline. This gives him a speed advantage as he has longer levers. His long arms also do not stand aside, because all limbs are important in running, the arms perform a balancing and accelerating function.
Its advantage is its thin bones. This is a distinctive feature of most athletes, because with thin bones in the legs, the athlete runs faster. With marathon runners, the situation is the same, it is not profitable for them to have thick bones in their legs, excess air resistance will prevent the development of greater speed.
Biography and achievements
Usain Bolt was born in Jamaica. This is a rather poor country, in which all teenagers saw the only way to "break into the people" - to play football well. That is, everyone started playing this game from early childhood and hoped that someday some club would buy them out and they would fly to America. Children saw no other opportunity in this country.
Therefore, Usain played football in the same way. But at one time he discovered that he runs very quickly against the background of his peers. Later they found a use for him, people realized that if he was trained further, he would achieve tremendous results. He received his first achievements without being particularly concerned with his future direction, that is, athletics. He still played football.
His most famous records are the 100 and 200 meters. Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.57 seconds, and 200 meters in 19.19 seconds. These are short distances, speed-strength development of a skill. This athlete showed himself in this discipline due to the abundance of fast muscle fibers and growth, in contrast to his opponents.
Although in many ways, Usain Bolt owes his achievements to a genetic predisposition, but he managed to get out of a poor country and show his name to the whole world. First of all, his perseverance and determination played a decisive role in life. Everyone can achieve a decent result, you just need to make an effort!
