Why is everyone in love with sprinters?
Now i know they are some lean mutha’s but not all of them are ripped muscular dudes,i watched some sprinting titles the other night and the only ones i seen that impressed me were the SOME of the black sprinters.Out of 8 sprinters in a final i seen,3 of the black guys looked great while 5 of the other’s 3 white guys another 2 black guys were lanky guys,nothing to write home about
It just seems people think every single sprinter is some ripped up monster where as i think like every sport there are plenty of ripped muscular dudes within reason,im not talking about marathon runners and billiards but sports like rugby,rugby leauge,nfl,soccer,gymnastics,aurtalian rules football just to name a few.
Just my opinion anyway

If I had to pick a physique, it wouldn’t be a sprinter but an olympic gymnast.

I’ve never actually seen any studies but there are a lot of doctors that speak out against it.
Most of the talk sounds like a “there is no way that can be good for you” type talk.
I mean it makes some sense. There has to be some limit and like always a level of moderation.
Imagine the level of strain put on your body trying to go for 8+ hours straight as fast as you possibly can.
Hell, sleeping for more than 10 hours has even been considered detrimental. Imagine cardiovascular work for 10+ hours. [/quote]
Yeah. I think it’s putting a lot of wear and tear on your body. It’s certainly an extreme sport that can potentially lead to problems in some areas. But I can’t see it being detrimental to heart health in anyway.
