Usain Bolt running technique

[MultiSaints25]

this music is racist......aha

[Dalton1224]

i have seen this before on animal planet. this is where they attack the zebras. wait.... oh.... uh nvm

[wdebord3]

@michaelbarretm107 hahahahaha

[grezboyz]

he's so big

[mauricioalfredo83]

SO THE VIDEO DOESENT SAY NOTHING ABOUT HIS TECHNIQUE...Usain ( 6`+)100mt tequnique its diferent from a power sprinter like Ben Johnson or Mo Green (both 5`10")....this its a fequency technique, he raises before the rest and accelerate whit "long steps" puching his knees up 90º thats it.

[DaKingKush1]

NOTICE...there all black

[RichyRoo832]

Nigger genetics + Good work ethic = Worlds fastest man

[ModifyPhase]

does anyone realise he foot doesnt' touch the ground until every 3 metres?

[SamFisher77067]

this sounds like jungle music, what are you trying to say huh>? lol

[TheUnicrone]

hes so fuckin tall omfg 0:52

[ohyah910]

this video should say you have to be black

[maxfeng123]

he doesn't run he glides

[SGTSOULTAK3R]

Other Racer: "Well boys who's coming second today?"

[USA4thewin]

heel striker

[cicirunner]

@USA4thewin He actually wasn't heel striking.

[gwyd619]

@foorumi Ummmmmmm because I want to?

[gwyd619]

My gf just dumped me.......................ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER THAT I EVER KNOW BABABA SHE'S A HO

[foorumi]

@gwyd619 why would you say that here..?

[kayswiss97]

@gwyd619 weirdo

[gwyd619]

@MrAchronos Wow I'm fourteen and taller than you

[tehDeNy]

@gwyd619 he didn't say he was older than 14 ?

[Kewlster1]

@TrainingAllDay you arent the fastest man in the world therefor your comment is invalid.....;)

[awesomelyhumble]

Amazing. Looks like his heels don't even touch the ground. (0:17) No vertical displacement, heel-to-butt, feet are on the ground for a minimal amount of time. No wasted energy on a "struggling" run. Smooth, composed, controlled. Not sloppy.

[TrainingAllDay]

his running techniques actually not that good, what puts him ahead is his stride length, stride frequency, and his feet leave the ground faster than any other runner.

[timootei]

@TrainingAllDay he's the fastest man in the world why are you giving tips...

[Elantry]

LOL He runs exactly the same as the other guys, he's just bigger. Eat your protein, kids.

[iJvs11]

@Elantry No he doesn't idiot, and "bigger" no he's taller yes, but think about it, I don't think even if you are bolts height that means anything because if your leg speed isn't up to par you will run slower than the smaller guys, you're an idiot.

[bassbonemexie]

1:17 the runners in the back look like runners in a video game with how they don't bob up or down at all

[vidy666]

WHATS THE NAME OF THE SONG ?@@!?!?

[SuperjesusV2]

RACIST MUSIC! I CALL IT!

[michaelbarrettm107]

What the hell is up with the Jungle themed Background music?

[krislivesformagic996]

he pushes himself from the start block with an amazing 500kg power. Others just reach 400kg. his body length legs are just perfect for running fast. in the next 50 years his records are still not gonna be broken.

[superstarrize]

like a boss



[detriment21]

What's up with the tribal music?

[paracetamol2012]

his foot does not touch ground.....!!

[AJatheistgod]

its his height

[MrnothingTR]

he is flying :D

[TheLincolnWorld]

He seems to put the most weight on his toes.

[Manuelcr7]

i think he is still running ~11,5m/s. But his knees aren't as high as in his 100m record races. Hamstrings will do alot. I think strong glutes, hamstrings and calvs are crucial for top speed running.

[TruhlixMr]

music?



[SuperGrant000]

He's been fast since he was a little kid. I ran AAU track against him, he was setting age group records back then.

[Bestdude231]

his stride is crazy

[spikedude55]

what if he played running back in the nfl?

[littletaco003]

the only reason he is fast is because the dude is tall as fuck,so his strides are ginormous.

[otrygvesson]

the angle of his elbow never dips below 90 degrees. i'm not sure that's good but it seems to work for him .

[Mattu190]

Everyone runs differently copying another sprinter wont make you as fast as them because they have strengths you may not have while you have strengths they dont have.

[Actuallityy]

@Mattu190 Not exactly true. If someone who is 5'9" tried to copy Usain Bolt's running technique they would fail. They would fail because the way Usain uses his legs is different than a shorter runner does, due to his 3 meter strides. However if someone who is 6'4" copied Usain's running technique there is a chance they'd be successful, given your body type is similar (long legs).

[Mattu190]

@Actuallityy Which is exactly my point someone who has the SAME body type of bolt can copy him because they would have similar strengths to him.

[PUSSY100ish]

I'd love to beat him up and stamp on his feet, the arrogant shit

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

@PUSSY100ish haha what a faggot coward comment

[PUSSY100ish]

@FuckTheLawNiggas Go fuck your mother you black piece of shit

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

@PUSSY100ish hahahah your name is good for you pussy ass queer, go suck a dick

[YiannisMetallas96]

what's the song at the 150m race with the time 14.36

?

[2pacbiggie33]

woah

[Pamballa010]

lol hes lucky he's tall

[AthleticComedians]

Why they gotta have African chase music

[OriginalJoseyWales]

Well according to a study I read its not the length of stride or the frequency of the stride. Its the force exerted on the ground with each stride that decides the speed.

[RageStainProductions]

@OriginalJoseyWales yes that is the majority of it. Say Bolt and Gay put out the same force and they have the same amount of strides. Bolt will win because it takes him less strides to get to the finish line. I think that sounds right im not 100% sure if i worded it right. You can put out all the force you want but if you dont get good strides you will lose.

[Mriliketofu]

@OriginalJoseyWales by your logic its only force which determines how fast but infact it is all 3 of them.

[OriginalJoseyWales]

@Mriliketofu I was repeating what I read in the article that reported on the scientific study of the matter. Fell free to register your disagreement with the people who conductewd the study. u can google why usain bolt so fast and see the second link.

[Mriliketofu]

@OriginalJoseyWales well to be fair you are refering to their study and bringing it up. if there was any issue about the report here itd be with you

[aayushjha99]

thumbs up..if u muted,,:D

[The9drewbrees9]

So you're telling me that darren sproles is slow cuz he's short?

[ichigo2217]

@100m200m400m Since I myself run track, Id have to say that long strides do have their place, but for them to be effective, your going to have to be able to move those long strides fast. not to mention have the endurance for long strides. It takes alot of effort dude.

[benpetrone5]

1:04 The mortals chasing..

[TheTonyAbate]

Was he racing anyone? Or were those guys back there just cheering him on?

[alexmejia26]

In the last race, the other 3 guys are like "there he goes!"



[MrAchronos]

I've found that trying to run like a 6'5" black man is ineffective for a 5'10" white guy. :(

[Marz2605]

@MrAchronos you could still try and run like a 5'10" black guy...

[IUseTechDecks]

@MrAchronos Even harder when your a 5'5 black guy watching :(

[selwynmarques]

@IUseTechDecks lol i hear you bro. Totally do.

[jeferson14619]

@MrAchronos 

[grezboyz]

@MrAchronos "American"

[RewardHonesty]

Very compact? Wrong.

[aboeljaber17]

He doesn't look right and left while he is running..he knows that the second guy is at least 1 km behind !!

[soulreaperichig0]

what has How To Approach A Woman got to do with usain bolt please tell me utube o.O

[belarminus5]

if he gave me a 50 meter head start in a 100 meter dash, i will still lose --"

[MySonOfSam]

@belarminus5 Most people would :P even me and im a pretty trained athlete

[evhsMIF]

I typed in "Usain Bolt running from the cops" and this is what I get

[peterchaojeffli]

he's black



[MrCondem]

i bet he could break it now =3

[seeyounowable]

he dont run he flying

[andomaxcha]

Omg. He is good. But I run so differently. His strides are so tiny

[bitethis47]

his height and slim figure..and the power of JAH

[TxGKryptonite]

no homo but dude uses a 3rd leg



[atltrackstar1]

Its all about efficiency and force applied. Its hard to look at stride length objectively. 

[phillipsmalls1]

none one spends much time n d air...

[TheTheflip8]

i run 13.90 in 100m and he runs 150m in 14.36!

[Valentia16]

He uses the momentum of his dick.

[bsm6776]

@Valentia16 LMAO

[mandrland]

How tall is he

[TheNick394]

@mandrland like 6'5 i think

[keshav0312]

lol he always wins by a huge gap

[SuperBdawk]

but that are the last meters.. take a look at the first and it will look better!!

[MadeToAmaze]

he ran that 150 faster than i can in a 100 but that was last year and i was slow last year :(

[iscratchmybutt]

i think he could win the 400m without training for it.

[Ratoscruvy]

Technique? Run fast....

[kimahjungeunjin]

its only compact cos hes in the last 60 of a 300m though.

[kozmon0t]

Bolt's high knee drive and more vertical posture reminds me of Carl Lewis.



[azronix]

ohhh, it so easy to run like him :D

Im running 9.59 on 100meters now!

[Mr360windmill]

@azronix ok.......

[capufo]

damn he is not running more like flying threw the air

[KevinMusic86]

wtf are those disctances..300m , 150m..

[Nick08352]

What´s the Name of the Song??

[Nick08352]

What´s the Name of the Song??

[flirtwd]

@Nick08352

I used Shazam to find the song. It's called," Soul of The World" by Stefano Bonacina.

Have a good day!

[BistritaUnited]

maybe because his turnover isnt so high as the other runners but his leg power is incredibile which propel him to a massive stride length...at berlin 2009 there were lines at 10m 20m 40m and 50m and with a stopwatch you could clock him handtimed for these distances from first movement so everybody could compare theire times to his....for example his 50m handtime at berlin was approx 5.2sec

[BistritaUnited]

guys please dont say he has a slow start....he has the unnoficial wr for 60m 6.31sec and at 20m he is always first look at berlin race....in this 150m at 50m he clocked 5.64sec and was like 2m in front of the others so please dont say anymore he has a slow start...or what do you mean by slow start? first 2 inches ?

[cacaomo]

@BistritaUnited He has a a slow start - FIRST 2 INCHES - no kidding. After I watched his 100m starts at slow motion - it seems the first steps he is kind of BEHIND the others. So the false start in summer 2011 is the only possible conclusion.

[shroomingnewman]

he runs with the balls of his feet

[TheRealBKZ]

it all comes from the power of his legs, notice how he propel himself

[NintendoTillDeath]

1:00 remind me of sonic the video game :P



[javstar78]

even his slow mo is fast as hell

[TwistItMissedIt]

@marcopolo149 sorry for my mistake :)

[Bojar92]

he's a machine i think

[TwistItMissedIt]

@TitanicShip1998 I think he wears Puma running spikes :), orange now, but yellow before :), and to the maker of this video, I think it's 20,97 not 30,97 secs :))

[markopolo149]

@TwistItMissedIt

It's a 300 meter race, not a 200 meter

[TitanicShip1998]

Can anyone tell me what kind of shoes he wear?

[abade1985]

Genatic is the Secret, never seen a white man won a short distance.

[civilisationskerl]

@abade1985 yes I too but white man dont train on that this isnt the opptunity to win something... look on le maitre he is a white french manhe runs very fast even if he hasnt that good body for run.. I guess when a big athletic german would train live and train like usain bolt from the beginning he would be faster by a half second

[oneyakuza]

FERRARI BOLT =D

[Noteinvito]

I guess that big dick must help is some way

[Sage80]

music?

[o0jaws0o]

Press 8 for coolest part

[ValakrieRBLX]

Men don't do the 300m.

[Marslander2030]

@ValakrieRBLX Yes they do even not frequently

[OliOliOctopus10]

I think that its his real last name :O

[OliOliOctopus10]

i wonder if his mom ever had to tell him to run from bullies :P the bullies'd never catch up :)

[lup0330]

Did this dude change his last name? How is he so fast and his last name is BOLT!? Coincidence?

[marshmalows88]

dude.what is this music?

[cageybee777]

hey, the tall guy cheated, they were short

[888Henke]

also, Bolt uses barefoot technique, he never puts his heel down

[ZidaneSteiner]

@888Henke No sprinter puts their heel down silly. And that is not barefoot technique

[tybash]

Usain Bolt is son of the tribe of fastest Leopards back in Africa.

[TaleCharm]

good thing mayweather is not on track and field...or else this guy would be accused of using ped....

[TyroneCrawford]

@TaleCharm Well Usain Bolt takes olympics style drug testing like all sprinters do. Too bad Pacquiao won't take a drug test.. I guess he's got something to hide then..

[SnowLeopardStudioz]

@styrell45 I know. Race doesn't matter, because there are fast people in every race. Asian, European, African, Indian, Indigenous, Arab, Polynesian, Australian, Maori, etc.

[eteokles3]

@SnowLeopardStudioz You forgot Jews!

[SilverStreek7]

he runs flat foot? wth

[EdwoodCA]

@SilverStreek7 Landing with a heel strike is akin to putting on the brakes... it's counter-productive to moving forward when your heel jars your body when it hits the ground. Cool to see how his feet contact the ground pretty much right under his body, not out in front. Google forefoot, midfoot, or barefoot running to get the gist.

[supamitcho753]

anyone noticed that he was tall? -_-

[K1rkHammet]

@supamitcho753 Being tall doesn't mean that you are fast. Like I am not that fast because I have way too long legs and they won't allow me to run as fast as I could have if I had shorter legs.

[dean101792]

@K1rkHammet well he's like 6'5" he's fast because he takes huge strides (because he has such long legs), plus as he goes he has a quick turnover so he's covering more ground each step and taking those long steps at a faster pace so it's actually kind of unfair to everyone else

[K1rkHammet]

@dean101792 I don't know what 6'5 means. I'm like 185cm tall and I'm 15 y.o. My skeleton is still getting stronger so I hope I can get lightning quick after 2 months (I have this program)

[henrimart7]

@K1rkHammet 6'5 is 195cm.

[K1rkHammet]

@henrimart7 ah ok thx. I'm going to be a little taller than that when I'm fully grown I think.

[dean101792]

@K1rkHammet 6'5" is like 195.58cm

[best496]

@K1rkHammet 6ft5 is 196 cm. thats his listed height. i think his real height is 6ft3 which is 191 cm

[Marslander2030]

@best496 How tall was Carl Lewis?Ii've read any kind of of extimation between 1.88 and 1.92 about him

[best496]

@Marslander2030 in every sport they are listed at least 2 inches above their actual height

[Marslander2030]

@best496 It is very stupid!!Then it means that Carmelita Jeter and Veronica Campbell-Brown which are listed 1.63 in the truth are no more than 1.58!!! now i understand why these women find so difficult run the 200 m at the same level of they did in the 100 m

[Maldifull]

@supamitcho753 2,04m i think...

[DanEvPro]

@supamitcho753 Because he is tall he always has a slow start, so height evens out.

[IrSiimo]

@supamitcho753 he IS tall, he's not dead

[stephane55ful]

@supamitcho753

no kidding, he's 6'5... lol

[FitzymcFitz1]

@supamitcho753 seriously, thats the reason he is so fast, his legs are like 4 inches longer, thats very significant when taking those fast strides

[100m200m400m]

@FitzymcFitz1 why the fuck is long strides all of a sudden an advantage now that the worlds fastest man is 6'5"? before people said it was a disadvantage. you fucking cunts make up all sorts of shit to take away from usains performance and make it seem less impressive by stating he has a unfair advantage. its BULSHIT!

[FitzymcFitz1]

@100m200m400m well im 6'1'', and im a fucking fat ass but i can outrun almost anyone i know in a 100m because i have long legs so long legs in my eyes are and advantage

[100m200m400m]

@FitzymcFitz1 just because YOU are faster than your fat friends doesnt prove shit! are YOU a world class athlete? NO! look at the history, most of the FASTEST 100m sprinters in the world, most arent even 6'0". I want fucking proof that being 6'5" is a advantage

[FitzymcFitz1]

@100m200m400m my friends are not fat? and the proof is logic, if he can take 20 strides just as fast as anyone else, only his legs and 3 inches longer, he can get an extra 5 or 6 inches off each stride

[100m200m400m]

@FitzymcFitz1 u dont know what ur talking about idiot. tall people have long strides but slow turnover. look at how fuckin fast tyson gay's legs move in comparison. if it was "logic" more sprinters would be Bolts height!. YOU have no right to compare yourself to your friends to prove shit.. are YOU a world class sprinter? NO! why is Bolt the ONLY man his height in the top 10 fastest men of all time?

[itsnikbarre]

@100m200m400m They have shown proof that Usain Bolt's legs move just as fast as anyone elses.Its Bolt's foot strike and heel recovery that is the deciding factor.He spends less time on the ground therefore generating more power and a better spring forward.

[100m200m400m]

@itsnikbarre yes I know, and the fact that Bolts foot speed can be JUST as fast as guys MUCH shorter than him is just amazing, hes 6'5" that shouldnt even be possible. so NO his height isnt a advantage, hes a fucking beast and thats all.

[eckoultimate]

@100m200m400m to me it was always an advantage, i dont know who said long strides are a disadvantage, its common sense

[100m200m400m]

@eckoultimate thats because ur fucking stupid. since when has long strides been a advantage BEFORE Bolt?NEVER thats when! its already been proven that USAIN's turnover is super fast for someone who covers 100m in 41 strides. usually people with long strides have slow strides, USAIN is the opposite. if Bolt was in Gay's position (2nd fastest man) you faggots wouldnt be talking shit about height being a advantage. get ur fucking facts outta ur asshole, you fucker.

[MAUROtele]

@100m200m400m of course height is an advantage when it comes to running, what's the problem with that?? Don't you idiots realize that the athlete with the best physique, training and genetics is the best?. How the fuck is being genetically better for running an 'unfair' advantage? LOL, u dont understand what sports are all about...

[DumbKunt1]

@MAUROtele

You are the dumbest fuck ever... 

[MAUROtele]

@DumbKunt1 ur name is DumbKunt1......
