Height in Sprinting | Does height limit Sprint Speed ?

- For years an athlete's physique has been believed as the reason as to why they do well in certain events, and sports. This is why in this video we take a look at the importance of athlete's heights, to find out whether or not it limits sprint speed.
as a 5'5" guy, I agree that I run out of energy too fast but before I do I'm not slower than guys over 6 feet, usually faster.
Though I was the only one
Length of the legs r the main in athletics coz it matters in long strides (the most important)
That's weird, generally shorter guys are much better at keeping energy for a long time. The top marathon runners are all really short - eliud kipchoge is 5'4''
@@jjj-eq7gv yaa I agree...but not in case of short distance (for example 100m,200m)
@@sayanbhowmik4535 true
Taller people take longer strides, but shorter people have a higher stride frequency. That is why I think it balances out somewhat.
Which have good pickup
Striding frequency achieved by training, practice, exercise and force creation on your legs. A tall man with adequate training and practice will always suppress a short man, will always advantage over him

Im 4 feet and 11 inches and I have loved running since forever. I wanted to try out for my middle school track team since 6th grade but always backed out because I was scared I’d look like an idiot because I’m so short. I’m starting high school next year and I’m training hard to try out for the JV team. Wish me luck!
Good luck with that...and don't let anyone tell you can't do it. Wish You all the Best!!!
Good luck with that, hey, who knows, you got a good chance of growing a couple inches in future !
God bless you and do it if God leads you to it!!!
how did you do
Im 5.4 and a half and in my teen years I was the fastest in my neighborhood.
i'm 5 6 ...and this video motivated me man...thanks
Happy to know it helped.
I am also 5’6 and it sucks
Rusheen McDonald is 5'7" and ran the 400m in 43.93s, and Lee Evans is 5'11" and ran the 400m in 43.86s.. Wilt Chamberlain had the ideal body for 100m to 400m sprinting. Shorter athletes only do better on average at shorter sprints because among the general population more shorter athletes are athletic enough to run at the necessary speeds required for the shorter sprints, while the speed required to run the 400m is slow enough to allow less athletic bodies, like that of Steven Gardiner, to not be hurt by this lower level of athleticism, but the best bodies for all sprinting distances are tall.
I was 5'4 now i am 5'6 and i want to be 5'11 or 6'3 i am 15year old
Hey, I'd say it's more about weight to leg length, since leg length to body height does not really apply in the real world :)
Bolt is 6’5, he had abnormally long tibias because he was so tall. As a result he had bigger Achilles Tendon.
The Achilles’ tendon is pretty much a spring that exerts power and pushes you forward. So yes bolts height helped A LOT
nice profile picture 👍
that frog used to be my discord profile picture
You mentioned his Achilles tendon, that is not his height. His old workout partner Yohan Blake ran faster than Usain has ever run when he ran his 19.26. It was said that Yohan ran faster than any recorded human in that race. The only reason he didn't break Usains world record of 19.19 was bc his start was so bad. But as far as mph no one has run faster than Yohan. Well Yohan is 5'11" tall & his "tibias" are much shorter than Usain's. Usain isn't fast bc he's tall, he was fast bc he was more powerful & executed all.of his sprint phases better than everyone else. I guarantee someone shorter & older will break both his record's. Why is Shelly-Ann Frazier Pryce destroying everyone on the track when she's 4'11" tall? Oh weight bc she's shorter than everyone else! It's about ENERGY FORCES. Nothing about what you're talking about.
I agree
Look on a basketball court, the tallest players are among the slowest, and they don't have the highest verts either. The fastest players are the shortest ones... The few who cmbine super speed with pretty good height end up being goats like MJ and Kobe because that combination is rare
When I was younger (not saying I'm even adult) I was the fastest, but also the shortest. People in my class said that the reason I ran fast was because I ran under the wind so it didnt slow me🤣
Hahahah. What's your height?
Height is also a factor in the hurdles, especially the 110s.

Do you know what norisha means or whatever he said at 3:01 means
For 60m race it's advantage because short sprinters have faster acceleration .
All time 60m timings :
#1. 6.34 , Christian Coleman. (1.75m, 5'9)
#2. 6.39 , Maurice Greene (1.76m , 5'9)
#3. 6.40 , Ronnie Bakee (1.78m , 5'10 )
#4. 6.41 , Andre Cason ( 1.70m , 5'6 or 6'7)
#5. 6.42 Dwain Chambers (1.79m , 5'10.5)
6.42 Su Bingtian (1.70m, 5'7)
Coleman is 5'8 bro but I get what u mean cause I've walked past him before and I'm the same height as him
Su bing tian is 6.29
Su bingtian should be number one.... he got 6.29
Su has now the fastest 60 m time ever recorded and he's 1,72 not 1,70
Su Bingtian is such an inspiration for Short and Asian Sprinters in general! Absolute beast!
the worst thing for me (5'7ft) to see in 100m dash is when the tall guys (6ft) just slowly pass you when ur so close to the finish line
Build also matters less the less strong of an athlete you are. Whilst at the world stage every advantage matters, at a high school level or even collegiate level better training can overcome the small advantages that build and genetic talent bring. So unless you're trying to go for the Olympics, it really doesn't matter what height you are-- just train slightly better and dust the tall kids who didn't work as hard.
What happens when the tall kid is hard working too?

Usain is the greatest 100m male sprinter of all time and also one of the tallest at 6'5". But on the flip side, Fraser-Pryce is the greatest 100m female sprinter of all time and also one of the shortest....at only 5"0".
Good Observation.
She is not the best. Other women including her contemporaries have run faster than her multiple times.
Is she really 5'0"? She doesn't look that short tbh. I'd have guessed 5'2-5'3
Bruh, it's literally the same like asking if a smaller wheel can roll faster than a bigger wheel. It may roll faster but not more distance in the same amount of time than a bigger wheel, so the bigger wheel is the longer legs, same physics and logic.
Nice
That's a good one! Never heard it before, seems correct.
A smaller wheel will always roll faster going down a hill cause its lighter and can pick up more speed
Thats not a good comparison
The further a point is from the fulcrum, the faster it rotates, so a taller sprinter can get more foot speed , thus it will collide with the ground at a faster speed, that will produce a bigger ground reaction force
Sounds possible.
This speed isn't a limiting factor, almost all of the force is built in to moving the body itself.
I’m 19 5’9 currently running 10.6 I have fast turnovers but I wish I was taller just because of the fact that you run out of energy quicker
You can do a few things about, the first and most important thing is race distribution, despite the short length of the 100m u can still break down the 100m in training to focus on how u runeach phase, from the blocks, the first 20m and so on, just work on getting proper breakdown workouts to manage how much u accelerate in each phase, this will help in extending how long you hold top speed amd how much the speed decreases afterwards.

Height doesn't matters its the SIZE OF THE LEG which matters for ex.... CHRISTIAN COLMAN.. his legs r as big as Justin gatlin has... COLMAN's upper body is short but the lower portion is as big like 6feet Athlete ..... This is the thing that no one tries to understand..
I know people that know Andre Cason, they all told me he's absolutely not 5'6" tall. They said he's about 5'3"-4" tall. You can tell he's that short compared to everyone around him when he raced them.
I’m 5’11.5 and 14 going into my sophomore year of high school. Being taller can be an advantage just use your longer stride man.
Nah I’m 6’2 being taller sucks
@@RlCKlE Srry to hear that man, I have always been naturally fast before I got taller. My height did not affect my running. I just improved my running form.
@@James-tl1bq longer stride means you are in the air longer slowing down. The more often your feet hit the ground the more you can add force to moving forward. Longer stride means you can hit ground less so you use less energy to keep in motion (not faster motion necessarily). So less energy used means you can run for longer distances. Basically what guy said in video.
Do you think Usain is redefining what the optimal body is for 100m? I still think 6'5 is too tall but it's hard to argue against his results.
I think it’s a lot harder to accomplish what he has done at such a size but I think 6’5 has more potential for best times over other heights just it’s more difficult to reach that potential
He is an exception (195cm). Otherwise lemaitre is also tall (191cm ,9.92) but why is SU bingtian (170cm, 9.83) faster than Lemaitre ?

@@dhnsh1843 But don't get me started on Fahnbulleh's start, oh god it's terrible
Its hard for tall people to build fast twitch muscles because their limbs muscles can grow to be so heavy. It’d take a talented athlete with the right training from a young age to execute it
well said. It's just like that. There is probably an advantage for people with longer limbs/feet in relation to their height. Take Bingtian Su as an example. He doesn't look like he is capable to run sub 10s. Of course he has a cracy efficient CNS wich is the main reason for is performance. But his feet and toes are really long in relation to his body too. Coleman also has relative long limbs and a proximal weight distribution.
Yeah i actually agree with that
Su is shorter than Coleman
CNS becomes efficient because of lots of proper training.

What's your 60m or 100m record
@@poomipatlurkudom3883 dunno play striker in football...and it's no coincidence that 7 out of 10 of the premier league top goal scorers of all time are all under 6ft - low centre of gravity + fast acceleration and very quick over 50m
Yes I'm 5'6 and recently won the 100m at sports day. interestingly I was racing somebody 6'7, in the video our legs cycle in unison for most of the race which means we have the same stride frequency, but I feel like being short made me be able to generate more explosive power so my stride length was actually bigger
Yep. Christian Colrman is 5' 7" and he's one of the fastest men in the world
Hes 5'9 mate.
Limb length is also important. Sprinters have a smaller torso and longer legs than a normal person of the same height. This gives them a higher center of gravity which is goos for running inna straight line.
Which is why Lionel messi can zig zag so well despite not having amazing too end spees
Short powerful and quick is just as important as long strides.
Im a helicopter pilot. It is amazing how theory of rotrary flight and sports mechanics basically go hand in hand. Now heres my theory. A taller person can run faster with greater ease. If you have a 6 foot 4 person walking normally (normal in comparison to how they naturally feel) and that person does 10 strides. Then another person who is 5 foot 7 does the same. (Both people walking normally). The 6 ft 4 person will be around 2 metres infront. Both people operating at say 50% energy for arguments sake. Now this video if good but it misses out the most important thing. Energy consumption / effort. These 5ft 5 people who won would of been working at 150% energy theoretically, where a 6 ft 4 person would of done the same with 90% energy. Same thing with swimmers. Michael phelps is 6 foot 4. It is easier for a taller person to cover more ground with the same 'fuel flow'. However they will fall off the track in a steep turn lol. I am 5 ft 7 and I know that swimming and running are putting me at a natural disadvantage. Instead I do gymnastics and Ninja Academy. The tall people suck at these sports. The longer your limbs are the further they are away from your center of mass. The longer the limbs are hte further they have to travel to create a same amount of rotational degrees... Smaller people are better endurance runners because of volume size to body ratio
Being 5'6 with good endurance. I can breach top speed instantly, but I won't shit out anytime soon either. I'd race in 9th grade, and notice how taller kids would eventually catch up and we'd tie.

Height? It’s about leg length, measuring from the hip to the knee to the ankle and foot length! Total height of the athlete is less a factor. Additionally, before Carl and Usain, coaches pushed tall athletes to the longer events? Fast, is measured in finishing time not stride frequency? How quickly can you cover the distance, not how fast your legs move?
Interesting. Limb length + Technical proficiency + Hi performance ground dynamics (J) can produce distinctive advantages in certain sprinting events.

They were probably not good athletes. Athleticism matters.
Height matters in majority of sports. If you have a guy who’s tall and can move his body faster or just as fast as everyone else, it’s over. I.E Lebron James, Wilt Chamberlain, Usain Bolt, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Thomas Hearns, Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss, Lennox Lewis. I mean the list goes on and on. It’s not rocket science.
Basketball and contact sports are obviously not the same a sprinting. Sprinting is not "most sports" and this video is about sorinting. Being able to catch a football pass over everyone else's head is an advantage. Is being tall an advantage for gymnasts? For divers? For Jockeys? For catchers in baseball? For freestyle skiers and snowboarders?
@@proverbalizer All those athletes I mentioned were dominant because they were able to use their size as an advantage relative to their skill. In contact sports like, football, basketball, hockey, boxing, UFC, martial arts. But height can also give advantages in tennis, baseball, swimming, as well track and field. In all those sports, the taller guy will always be favored over the smaller guy if their equal in skill. When I say majority, I was initially referring to all contact sports but even in most non contact sports, other than a form of dancing, height matters. Period.
the thumbnail has got me crying
Sprint speed is always going to be a trade-off between acceleration and top end... you would see a radically different physique in athletes who won a 20 M Sprint 200 M Sprint
"we can establish the fact that being either a tall or a short as a sprinter has its benefits and we cannot use them as excuses". Uh huh. This is why we don't see 4'11 people sprinting in the Olympics... Or 6'6" people... Cause they're just full of excuses. I mean, the 4'9"- 4'11" people understand hard work and discipline when it comes to being Olympic gymnasts with ideal genetics for power sports, but are far too lazy to learn how to sprint.
I mean, why not just be honest and say, if you're really short or tall, you can be good, but never great, everything else being equal.
Taller guy take time to come in his peak speed but shorter guy does not take i hear lot of people said usain bolt is not made for 100m he made for 200m or 400m but in the end of time he worked hard achieve everything....
With the messi thing it's not specifically because of his height because you have guys like the original Ronaldo from Brazil who is equally as good if not better than messi at dribbling and getting passed players. And hes like over 6ft

His barca season was arguably better but watch that. He was basically Cr7 and messi in one player. One of the fastest players of all time, he used strength and crazy skill/ agility to his advantage. Defenders still have nightmares over him. When you're done with that watch how easily he took on keepers and sent them the wrong way, he was so good at dribbling that he would round keepers like they were kids. Messi was incredibly good in his dribbling prime it's a toss up between them two for me. But I would probably choose R9 simply because he could dribble like messi if he needed, go into warp speed if he needed or use skills like ronaldinho if he needed. His dribbling array is more versatile and is just as effective as messis if not more

what about for distance
For 800m and 1500m I’d say if you’re around 5’10-6’3 you have an advantage. 3km is about even for shorter and taller athletes. 5k to marathon the shorter people 5’4-5’9 have the advantage.
top two sprinters of all time, Usain Bolt very tall, and SAFP very short. On the Female side you also have Dafne Schippers- super tall and Marie Jose Ta Lou- super short. I wanna see what Sha'Carri Richardson is really capable of....can she really run as fast as Flo Jo even though she's 6 inches shorter and Flo Jo's stride length at top speed was insane?
Yeah. Height doesn't matter at all as long as we are not talking about super extremes from both sides. Just a simple probability theory explains why there aren't many others like Bolt, SAFP, Schippers, Jose Ta Lou and majority of elite sprinters tend to be more or less near around average height.

Or maybe because guys who are 6’4 want to play other sports? Or have no interest? Can you blame them?
Or Maybe not everyone is 6’4 so of course champions of all time are not 6’4. You can’t use that to support your argument but I’m not saying you’re wrong either.
Im saying if 6’5 players are not built for the NBA or NFL, why not give track a try? Who knows? Will there be more 6 footers trying out track?

You should definitely, and after puberty people still grow, so there's no need to worry about the end of puberty
@@TrackandFieldNation originally my goal was 6'0, but now I reduced it to 5'9 because 9 is my bad luck number
@@salmanmammu2473 sry to disappoint you but these microfractures only appaer in your muscle fibers, so this won't lead to larger height regardless how much you train.
I’m 5’5 and I’m pretty fkn fast but I train twice a week every week
145cm thx u
Damn I’m 5ft 9 and I’m 12 1/5 in the 7th grade
Andre de grasse is only 5’9 but he beats taller runners all the time in the 200
That's true
Now imagine if he was 6’2 😮 he’d easily break the 100m and 200m record
@@lytesknvince you mean like Asafa Powell, 6'3 and never has been a world leader in 200m competition, despite being one of the greatest 100m runners of this generation. 🤷🏿♂️ Your logic is flawed
@@lytesknvince It's not about height. If it was Basketball players would be the fastest people on this planet.
@@lytesknvince You have a lot to learn about sprinting
Bro love ur vids but nester carter is 5'5 and michael frater as well , their in the top 10 fastest over 100m
Average height of sprinters who ran under 10s is 5'10 (178cm).
Nice that’s my height 😂
But if i'm 6'6" is that too tall?
Think about the fact that the fast man in the world is only 1 inch shorter then you
@@jaygaming6He is also an outlier. Maybe if he were shorter, he'd be even faster.
I'm 6,6 and I'm 14 only.....😔😔😔. Why am I so tall already!!!
Isn't it good to be tall?
Is this true cause my friend is like 5 inches taller than me yet I run faster than him.
You lucky, it's in your genes to run fast. My dad was sprinter so I was always faster than the big kids at school.
What about for the 400m
But guys just wanna say 1thing.
Don't underestimate athletes with short legs in 100m. Coz EXAMPLE SU bing form CHINA broke 60m split record of USAIN bolt's fastest 100m race. Means he has broken 60percent of the historical 9.58sec.😈
not to get all political but this is an example of what would happens is trans are allowed to compete with CIS women. We already see how height in itself can rule out men under 6ft from certain categories. Just height itself rules them out, and it’s just one factor
Hormones (which trans people usually take) actually make their performance even out with their cis partners... recommending you do some research before posting stupid, ignorant things.
Fact check from the video - "No man under 6' has ever gone under 44 sec." FALSE. Rusheen McDonald Jamaican record holder, 43.93 is well under 6' at 5'7". Yousef Ahmed Masrahi is 5'9" (43.93). Lee Evans is 5'11" (43.86). Larry James 5'11" (43.97).
WWE Rey Mysterio is short and he runs hella fast 💨

can you tell me what anorasha means
Do you mean inertia ?
@@TrackandFieldNation yes I do, can you please tell me what it means
Well it basically refers to when you remain at the same state or velocity...so in sprinting remaining in the set position is considered being in the state of inertia, that push when you hear the "go " signal you break the state.
@@TrackandFieldNation oh thanks so much 🙏
You are welcome, anytime
Rusheen McDonald is 5 6-7" and he broke 44 sec
Plz suggest me olympic game for 5'7 feet height
I'm 5'8 I'm the fastest in my school
Same
5.6
A lot of generalized stats .....
6 feet is perfetct to run
Regular Sprint ar height increase mimimun 5 month after 19 age
The sprinter who breaks Usain Bolt record, 9' 58, will he be taller than Bolt, maybe by 2 inches.?
Did you watch the video? Length doesn't matter that much
@@monsieurLDN it does because longer legs = lesss effort needed but 8f the same person with longer legs puts just as much effort and power as those shirt people they will blow right pass them

..I'm not sure,... Why it is,.that SOOOOOOOO many people, just CANNOT see the obvious facts, right in front of their eyes. Hussein Bolt is TALLER than every single world class runner. And he's also stronger enough to pull it off. I mean.....
His legs are Looooong. And he only has to take about 41 steps, to complete 100 meters. While.... The majority of All other sprinters have to take on average; 10-20 more steps. It's exactly like when those 2 Hound dogs 🐶 🐶 were chasing a real Rabbit 🐇. .... They took off extremely slow 🦥,... But then,.... They gain on the poor Rabbit. Only because they are much much
^^ TALLER ^^ than the Rabbit will ever be!! I'm a black/mixed race man. And, I once visited a college Track meet. And there were almost All black dudes, and only ('1') white guy. But the view of the race that I had, was from the opposite side of the track. And I watched the 100 meter sprint. Then,... The white guy started jumping like a kangaroo 🦘, and he was only prancing in an EXTREMELY OPEN wind sprint. It looked SOOOOOOOO STRANGE!!! 😂... but the white man did a 10.34, right there 👍🏾 and all of the black men only did 11:50's,--to-- like 11:14's, etc. And that's when I understood, that it's mostly about 'technique'. And not necessarily All about race, or genetics 🧬, or bodily proportions and or strength. Etc. Hussein Bolt has just enough muscle 💪🏿, and has an open enough stride, and a flat chest. Which helps most sprinters. And he is simply TALLER than everyone else is. And all of these things lead to his ability to sprint to the 100 meter mark, faster than everybody else can. I mean.... Just imagine 🤔.... what if there were just as many TALL sprinters on the track. ((Then Hussein Bolt would have some SERIOUS COMPITITION!!!! and other men would easily break his records. Even in biblical times, the GIANTS would run up on people. ((It's because they can))!!! ((Because they are BIGGER, and TALLER. And so they cover more ground. It's that simple.👍🏾
As a 4'11 sprinter girl, I get so jealous of the taller girls because of their stride length. If I had that, plus the the power I have now, I feel like I'd get better times but as for now I'm stuck at 13.4 for my 100m time 🫠 Not that it's awful, just want it to be better. Want that scholarship money.
