Working on my max vertical was a major goal during my summer to improve my overall explosiveness and quick twitch abilities, directly helping on the baseball field. A nice bonus is also going from not being able to dunk to windmilling at 5’11. @_TomFitzSimons @JHUBaseball @nmulb

Explainer video on science of why the 400m sprint is considered the most painful track & field event.

And why “no person on the planet can run the 400m all out from start to finish".

The race pushes the way the body creates energy to the limit:

▫️0-50 meters: ATP-CP (energy system for very short and explosive movements; used up after 5-10 seconds)

▫️50-200 meters: Anaerobic glycolysis (burns glucose without oxygen, leading to lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue)

▫️200-300 meters: Aerobic energy (uses oxygen to break down glucose, but cannot keep up with the demand)

▫️300-400 meters: Anaerobic energy reserves tapped while aerobic energy is too slow to fill the gaps (lactic acid buildup is going HAM)

Track athletes can pace for longer distances and shorter ones are just over quicker (obvs).

The Olympic record is a blazing 43:03, set by South African runner Wayde van Niekerk in 2016 (and 2024 Final race is tomorrow).

Statcast confirms Matt Olson is strong.

[Luke Storey @lukerstorey]

I’ll try to be concise on a complex topic:
- valgus is placed on a continuum,some valgus is more risky than others- esp. when considering ankle & tibia motion relative to rotation at the femur

w/ low training age the simple answer is he needs some good quality balanced training

[J.R. @jerees]

I’m serious, Matt Olson seems faster this year.

Sprinting is putting it kindly…

[Kyle Boone @kyletheboone]

Per the CBS broadcast: Miami guard Nijel Pack broke his shoes and does not have a backup pair. So he's waiting on the bench. Broadcast just showed a student manager SPRINTING to the locker room to try and find a replacement pair.
