Issue is, when you push your body this far for that many years you are not likely to remain healthy as you age, unfortunately. Hearth issues are common in olympic athletes. Moderation is good. Extreme exercises stresses your system too much if you don't tamper it.

Now this is the type of information they need to include in the Netflix sprinting series and promo spots for olympics. Amazing! Track and field is so underrated, partly because people have no idea what goes on behind the scenes and what athletes have to do to perform at these levels. Also, I threw shot put in high school and college and had no idea that happens to the hand, guess I didn't have enough power to do that. Keep these videos coming, need more of this!

Not many people can understand the obsession needed for track & field and endurance sports. I would like to think I’m a decent marathon runner. Latest marathon being 2:40:30 at the age of 40. I have run 34 marathons and have no intention on stopping. I wake up at 4-5 am most mornings and just grind away to get my 80-100 miles in a week with 3-4 strength sessions and 3-4 flexibility/stretching along with some biking sprinkled in. People think I’m crazy and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

That is a fantastic insight! Great example of how athletics carry over into other parts of life.

As a community college level Distance runner, this is why we need to get more attention to track and field as a sport in the US. When the US hosted the track and Field World Championships, I was watching in the stadium, and there were empty seats (imagine if there were empty seats at the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, World Series, World Cup, etc.). Training in these events makes you live longer, and more people should be able to see it. All of this is not to mention how many people do track in high school as a sport.

Saying that elite sprinters dont have greater stride frequency than normal runners is misleading. Maybe this is true towards the top end, but the ability that sprinters have to rapidly exchange their legs in the first ~30 meters cant ever be replicated by normal runners.

Very interesting video, particularly about the way sprinting affects your cognitive functioning. But about the last part, to get to olympic level as an athlete you have to have a significant physical advantage over most other humans, therefore it could also be that they live longer because of their exceptional health. It doesn't necessarily have to be directly linked with practicing an extreme sport.

and that's the reason me being an endurance runner, i strength train with some compound lifts where i can lift double my BW and whenever i do hill training, I SPRINT, my max at hill was 24.1kmph for 3 sec out of 15 sec of uphill.

Great motivations to keep training into the Masters ages.

Having tried everything from HS X-C to the LJ, TJ and the 400m hurdles in college, I can honestly say that T&F has had a profound impact on my life and my career. I’m a white collar professional, but T&F taught me how to deal with stress and also how to get back up off the ground after losing. It has given me earned confidence. Something you cannot fake. At the most basic level, being able to run fast or far and jump-and knowing that you can do this-is like a security blanket as you walk through the world. Someday when I’m retired, I’d like to augment this by training in BJJ. I think that’s the missing piece of the puzzle for me. I rolled briefly with some SOF dudes and realized quickly that MMA is the challenge I’ve been missing!

Even with genetic predispositions these are direct physical adaptations.

What are the impacts of track and field training/competition at the elite level on testosterone levels in males?

@OutperformOfficial

26 күн бұрын

Elite track and field training can significantly impact testosterone levels and growth hormone levels. Intense workouts cause a spike in testosterone as the body responds to physical stress, promoting muscle recovery and adaptation. However to maximize the hormonal response you have to get great sleep. During slow wave or deep sleep is where the body does its magic and releases the most testosterone and GH. You also need to get enough protein. 30+ grams per meal x 4 meals a day (at least 120 grams per day) is a good starting point. Studies suggest that it takes ~30 gram dose to get the body to maximize protein synthesis. We're planning on doing a video on this in the future with a lot more detail so stay tuned!
