[Irishsporthorse4ever]

okay dumbass, there's actually a lot to do with genetics when it comes to west african sprinting success. i would know, i wrote a paper on it. message me to read it, idiot.

@jerham612 its not actually like that, the truth is exactly in genetics, like look at Christophe Lemaitre he is white and he runs under 10 seconds, it is all about the way you are made, your muscles also.

@jerham612

You are as wrong as you can get

[MusicUpdateUK]

@jerham612 in the human body there are fast twitches e.g. reacting quickly at the start of a race... and slow twitches e.g. which helps with endurance sports. People with darker pigment in there skin have more fast twitches than people with lighter pigment in there skin and so react faster in a race.

does anyone know where i can get a personal track and field trainer

[Bot007123]

@jerham612 i agree with that they train harder, but it is not because they have better determination than other peoples. think about it this way, a black guy and a white guy, same workouts, both survive the first day of training, but the black guy can normally recover faster than the white guy. the second day, the black guy is getting the same workout and hence "train harder". so after all, it ultimately comes down to genetics.
