Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
How does Usain
Bolt run so fast?
Many of you want
to know this secret. Why one can run faster than the others in a race, especially
among the top athletes who have been given natural ability and persevered
vigorous training? You may assume the faster the legs move, the faster the
runner can go. But what makes difference between top athletes and casual
runners isn’t the speed of their leg’s movement but the time the runner in the
air, or strides.
According to a
researcher in England. Ordinary runner takes 50-55 steps to run 100 meters
while top athletes reach the finish line only by 45 or so steps . Also, longer
time in the air means shorter time on the ground. Ordinary runners are touching
the ground as long as 50% longer than top athletes.
OK, now. Why Bolt
sprints faster than other top athletes?
Enjoy reading and
learning what makes runners run faster.
