Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Calf size
« on: June 04, 2011, 12:59:44 pm »
Maybe this has been discussed before, but I have started to notice that most good white jumpers have decent calf size. I think we can all agree that black vs. white athletes are often structured differently.  Most black athletes have more of the long achilles high cut calf spring function going. Perhaps to make up for that the white athlete has to have more of a muscle force production function and bigger muscles produce more force generally speaking???  Look at Rips calves for example. I can name so many examples-from kids on my college soccer team to guys I see in the park today. ... most white great athletes have big calves. Am I crazy?
