How important is the butt in running?
In later generations, it has been proven that the butt is one of the core driving forces of sprinting.
But now our country is still using its "legs" to run.
What does running with legs mean?
Our country's sprint theory overemphasizes one point, that is, "raise your thighs and push back fully."
This is "running with legs".
There is even a rather bizarre "high center of gravity" theory, which believes that the hip muscles in China are too developed now, which will affect the "high center of gravity" of athletes. Therefore, many athletes in our country currently do not dare to exercise their buttock muscles and strength too much.
This issue was even mentioned in Athletics in 2013.
But in fact, has anyone in our country seen this shortcoming and mistake?
Of course there is. In 1984, Li Chengzhi of my country discovered many problems when comparing American sprinters with Chinese sprinters. For example, during the support phase of American athletes, there is obvious flexion of the support knee joint.
The knee angle is obviously smaller than that of Chinese athletes.
The change in knee angle during the push-and-extension process is obviously greater than that of Chinese sprinters.
And he also calculated preliminary data. The average landing knee angle of American sprinters is 149.4 degrees, and the average landing knee angle of Chinese sprinters is 152.1 degrees. At the beginning of the push-extension, the American athlete's knee angle changed to 134.2 degrees, and his knee angle changed to 10.2 degrees. The corresponding data in my country is roughly 149.1 degrees, and the knee angle change is 3 degrees.
The average kicking angle of American athletes is 56.6 degrees, while that of Chinese athletes is 67.7 degrees.
At that time, he believed that the most critical issue causing this difference was the hip muscles.
Because strong hip muscles can make the transfer of force more powerful.
It is a pity that such a thing, which was proposed in 1984, did not make many waves in the country. It was only discovered later after the new technology was fully promoted. It turns out that what others have discovered, we have also discovered long ago. It is not so-called. It is really decades behind others that no one has observed.
If you take into account anatomy and biokinesiology, there is much more to say.
This all tells us a problem.
Regardless of our ability, observation, IQ, or innovative ideas, we are never inferior to others.
The bad thing is that these individuals are not really taken seriously. The "stubborn and conservative" forces are still in the most mainstream position. As a result, these real "renovators" have become "heresies" and "minorities". The final result is that It can only sink into the sea and become just a page of "waste paper" in a book or information.
Even a layman can definitely find something interesting.
That is to say, during this period of sprinting in my country, the buttocks were mainly "flat", while foreign European and American sprinters, one by one, almost all had "upturned buttocks" and "big buttocks".
Why is this happening? Let’s look at an in-depth research topic——
Researchers from the School of Health and Exercise Sciences used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner at the National Center for Sport and Exercise Medicine on the Loughborough campus to measure the size of 23 lower body muscles in 42 men. Among them were 5 sprinters, 26 "sub-elite" athletes, and 11 untrained personnel. The average sprinter's personal best time is 9.99 seconds.
The study, conducted in collaboration with British Athletics, is particularly unique as it used "larger and faster sprinters than ever before and conducted more rigorous measurements of muscle anatomy".
the research team found.
Although top sprinters are generally muscular, their muscles follow very specific patterns - some muscles in the elite group are far larger than those of untrained men, and also larger than those of sub-sprinters.
For example, the hip extensors, the muscle group known as extending the hip joint, had a 32% difference in size. However, other muscle groups, such as the plantar flexors, the calf muscles, are similar in size in elite and sub-elite sprinters. When looking at individual muscles, the gluteus maximus and its size are considered key to achieving rapid movement.
Why do you say this? The following data is the key.
Performance varies among all sprinters (elite and sub-elite).
The range is from 9.91 to 11.25 seconds.
The researchers found that 44% of this difference in performance was caused by the size of the gluteus maximus muscle, with elite sprinters having a muscle that was 45% larger than sub-elite sprinters.
This data alone is scary enough.
If you really look into it, you should know what this ratio means.
We also know why in our country’s sprint, during this time period, the “King of National Service” actually faced an Olympic B standard and had a difficult time reaching it. Because, it is essentially wrong, and the biggest driver is also wrong, so how can we still play it?
Isn't it funny?
You use "leg drive", but others use "butt drive" based on anatomy and biodynamics.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, it is simply the difference between a bicycle and a Harley.
The engines are all different.
Or it can be said at all - we haven't really used the "engine".
Professor Flanders from the School of Health and Sports Sciences also said: "This conclusion is surprising because people think that sprinting is affected by many factors, including technique, psychology, nutrition, and the anatomy of other structures. But in fact, most Key parts are often overlooked. For fast running, the size of muscles is more important than we think, especially the size of hip extensors and gluteus maximus. Now we have found a single, seemingly simple but important Muscles can explain many phenomena.”
Look, what they said is straightforward enough, right?
But this instrument was a very late development, and this paper was only published around 2020, so there was indeed a lack of real scientific data at the beginning. But once you have it, everything will be revealed.
The importance of "butt" was suddenly increased countless times.
The funny thing is that the "leg drive" that our country has insisted on for so many years has completely turned into a two-legged tricycle under the coldness of science.
How can you ride a bicycle with both feet faster than someone hitting the engine?
Here, not to mention other data research, just this piece of paper around 2020 is enough to destroy the pseudo-scientific operation in China for a long time.
Now everyone knows why yellow people can’t run under 10 seconds. In addition to opening ten seconds, it is something that only top athletes can do. In 2021, only more than a hundred people have entered in history. Even black people need to be top. It can only be achieved by talent. It is definitely not what "public knowledge" said. You can break ten by lifting your leg.
Anyone of any race who wants to break through 10 must have absolute talent and top athletes.
And the current group of people in our country can run so fast using the "bicycle running method", especially Su Shen himself, who used the "bicycle running method" to forcefully open it for 10 seconds. You will know how terrifying this is. What on earth is this? What kind of talent.
If I had received scientific professional training earlier, this would definitely not be the case.
You will never open 9.90 when you are 32 years old.
Therefore, Su Shen, who is deeply aware of this theory, must pay more attention to the importance of this "big ass" than anyone else after the restart of this life.
Nothing else needs to be said - a big butt is the engine of a sprinter.
The stronger your ass is, the more powerful your engine will be.
This was published in "Medicine and Sports and Exercise Science" and has completely demonstrated this point——
Extrapolating from the study results, it is theoretically possible that the longer the gluteus maximus, the runner will be able to generate more force, thereby increasing sprint speed. That said, for those training for track and field, focusing on increasing the size of the gluteus maximus and other hip extensor muscles will improve sprint performance.
therefore--
Now do you know how important a “big butt” is to sprinting?
This means whether you are a bicycle, a motorcycle, a sports car, a supercar, or even a racing car.
After Su Shen restarts this life, he has a goal that must be achieved, and that is...
You must develop a bigger, rounder, and more perky butt.
Men.
Everyone longs for a more powerful "engine".
