Pretty cool stats just thought I'd share.

Edit- Of course these stats underestimate exactly how many people are capable of those times because in a lot of regions there is no access to track and field. Also there's a lot of elite athletes that play other sports that could run sub 11 or maybe even sub 10.5 (mainly NFL sub 10.5) but yeh it still gives a good indication of times. If that list was expanded to sub 11.5 than there would probably be 30,000+ athletes under that time.

"It was about 40 degrees and 95 per cent humidity and West Coast were going through the motions of a training session - all except for one player," Quinn recalled. "They were doing runs at 50 per cent and there was this one guy doing it at 100. They did the session for about 30 or 40 minutes and the whole time this one guy was doing everything at 100 miles an hour.
"I have always watched him since that time. That is his work ethic all the time. I say to our players, he is the benchmark."

http://us.macmillan.com/BookCustomPage_New.aspx?isbn=9780312555436

Basically the author proposes that modern men are weak and physically inferior to our ancestors of the past. It's a long read but it's good. Some of the author's claims are questionable (e.g apparently there were australian aboriginals who had the potential to be faster than usain bolt) but overall it seems to make sense.

This is the part about australian aboriginals.

.



So i think the author is saying the average male today is weaker than the past because of a mix of genetics and laziness. Than he proposes that part of the reason why the general genetic pool throughout the world is weakening is because of how the modern day world is run.

.

Thoughts about the article?
