Why do black people dominate athletics like asafa powell,gatlin,m johnson?
Answers:
im irish and every body just assumes black people are better,most africans in regard to distance running anyway have the altitude advantage but they also train very hard so thats y dey r better,in sprints i just think its a greater will to win but im sure there is a scientific reason for it also
they are more fitter than english
because of genetics
My answer does not include Gatlin(drugs)
Some say genetics/hereditary they are blessed through circumstance with the gift of physical prowess, hardship( you know, from a poor country so they have nothing else) talent identification, mental development, independence and ability to tolerate the pain of intense training in latter years are enhanced come from those who are not in the best economic circumstances.
I say hard work is in there even coming from a poor country what else are they gonna do but train really hard to get good and get out. But I was not from a poor country and I was pretty good, only 1 relative was ever an athlete and I believe I worked very hard for it.
Less opportunities in other venues.
I was told from my parents that it has to do with genes and how people were formed. If you all remember watching Live 8 or Live Aid people had to walk 3 miles on bare foot to get water each day. If they had children who were adopted from people like Madonna (who adopted a boy today) would be fit and get into top coaching and would then improve.
It is and accumulation of factors. One reason is that they have longer thight bones and hamstrings than white sprinters, that is why there are few black good swimmers. Another is that with long distance they are at a very high altitude so when the go to other places they have an influx of oxygen and find it easier to breathe and exercise
lol, blacks do not have longer thight bones.the best sprinters and athletes are born with more fast twitch muscle fibers as opposed to slow twitch...fast twitch is most productive for explosive movements while slow twitch plays an important part in sustained muscle contraction and endurence.. so genetics plays the most important part.environmental or nurturing factors are secondary but also are a pivotal part.
of course the black is not born to be the fastest,a lot of intensive n endurance will only do the trick.at the Black's country(Jamaica,Africa..etc),d. from 1 village to the other is miles away so this is how they can run faster because when they are in certain routine(walking,running,sprint. diaphragm will curve even more than us..and also their ATP rating will get higher.this is the main requirement for a sprinter
