Well, if a 600 pound gorilla can do a one-handed chinup, you gotta respect that

I was born with a muscle-wasting disease called spinal muscular atrophy. Basically: every muscle in my body gets weaker as I get older. I’m 26, and until very recently, many with my disease typically passed away in their 30s and 40s. Last year, the first-ever treatment for my disease was discovered and approved by the FDA, a profound event that permanently changed the trajectory of my future. I can’t properly describe the flood of joyous relief I felt when I received the news. I’ve been on the drug for about a year now, which means I’m no longer getting weaker, and even, dare I say it, slowly gaining back some of the strength and ability I’ve lost over the years. A month or two ago, I sat up unassisted for the first time since childhood, and you better believe that felt just as exhilarating as breaking the record for fastest mile or lifting ten billion pounds on the bench press. Idk I just wanted to share with you after watching this! TL;DR Man in wheelchair is basically an athlete.

One thing he doesn't mention is that Jessie Owens time was hand-timed whereas today it's handled by computers. Hand-times can vary wildly especially in a sport where the difference between first and second can be .01 of a second.

@js4466

6 жыл бұрын

Michael Anthony this. That 10.2 could've been a 10.00 or a 10.4. Let's say it was actually 10.00, the faster case. 0.2 is a lot to shave, but handtiming it is certainly possible to be off that much. Now put Owens on a modern track, that's 1.5% decrease, so his time is now 9.85. Now add in blocks. That alone could drop to 9.75 (.10) which would break Bolts record. Now add in nutrition and new exercise protocols. Now add in shoes. Now this is what is mystifying to me. Track today takes advantage of the physiological advantages, longer limbs, etc. They have the better nutrition and s&c. They have the better technology. Some, maybe most even, use PEDs. How is it that Owens would theoretically be capable of running faster than Bolt if given the modern tools today? Owens 10.2 before the tech is only a top 3 in a state for HS (compared to now). Owens with the tech today would be a freak among freak athletes (9.8 is not too unreasonable, you're top 5 in world). So is Owens THE biggest freak, in that he can run the pace of a modern athlete in 1940s or has human performance not really increased, and mainly technology or PEDs? It kind of disheartening if true actually.

This is my favourite, most watched TED talk

This is one of my favorite ted talks ever

One of the most engaging presentations I've seen. My appreciation, David Epstein.

Probably my favourite Ted Talk, along with the gentleman who responded to Spammers. Profoundly interesting and informative.

wow. this is one of the most fabulous ted talks out there.

What an amazing Lecture. This talk can be broken into so many subsections to discuss: Advances in brain activity, the decrease in the aging process, the effects athletics has had on the female physique.

point of this presentation for me was, it's not the human abilities that's changing much, but the ability to get around the body's systems that control the output. with conditioning, training, selective skills and predespositions.

Yeah the human race isn't evolving athletically like the constant record-breaking would have you believe. Actually, you could say it's de-volving, the athletic capabilities of the average person has been plummeting thanks to an increasingly sedentary lifestyle and a weaker education system. www.ericcressey.com/why-were-losing-athleticism If you liked the video you'll find this article interesting.

Excellent Presentation. As an athlete this was interesting

Excellent speaker! Well done 👏 👏 👏

At the beginning of the presentation, he mentions the 1904 Olympic Marathon. The winning time was the slowest ever to win, and still is, but the 1904 St. Louis Olympic Marathon was completely different from anything ever seen. It's not like the human body was a lot less evolved than it is today. This is what happened. First off, the ideal temperature for running a marathon is about 55 degrees. However, it was run in an adjusted heat of 110 degrees, double that. Secondly, there was only one water break set up for the contestants. This was a well about halfway into the race. This well, however, was full of water from St. Louis, (duh) which most contestants were not accustomed to. This made a lot of the contestants throw up and have intestinal problems. Thirdly, these roads were dirt roads, and not only was it far from ideal for running on, but the dust kicked up caused a contestant to collapse and almost die because of hemorrhaging because the dust literally coated his throat. Furthermore, there were wild dogs around 20 miles in that were chasing the contestants off course. Oh yeah, and one of the contestants' running coaches was driving behind him and yelling at him and refused to give him water. He did, however, give him two bottles of brandy and some strychnine (rat poison). I'm just saying, maybe this marathon was a little different than the other ones, but what do I know. Edit: I realize he mentions the rat poison and brandy, pay attention to the other stuff.

The 1904 vs 2012 Olympic marathon comparison is complete BS. It is well documented how awful the 1904 St. Louis marathon was. The runners had one water stop, raced in the blazing heat on dirt roads, were chased by wild feral dogs, and almost half of the competitors dropped out.

This talk seems to ignore the elephant in the room, athletes are professionals in today's age (even though he mentions it briefly). The stress, recovery adaptation cycle of suitable anatomic structures will yield improved performance. Yes, technology plays a remarkable role in sports, as does nutrition, supplementation and better medical care of athletes. He didn't mention the ways in which athletes come back from potential career ending injuries due to medical advancements. As a coach, I would be really careful to credit any single factor as the driving force.
