He doesn't look like the strongest bloke in the world, so how does he get up? Is it just plain ridiculous explosiveness? I bet it has something to do with his incredible flexibility. What is the adarq theory on Kadour?

Good contribution mate, cheers.

His stint on the best damn sports show left little to the imagination.

That...

Flexibility, or lack thereof can hinder one's vert if it's too lacking, but Ziani's crazy flexibility and stretching routine doesn't give him inches on his hops.  He probably has very powerful glutes, hamstrings, quads, and a perfect genetic makeup for single leg jumping with the perfect tendons, leg length, body structure leverages, etc...

Was all you needed to say.

Also, is it just me or does he appear to have quite 'prominent' achilles?

 


you idiots use the word strength too much. kadour Ziani is not strong. He is fast. He develops force quickly in milliseconds, not under seconds under a squat rack with his glutes and quads. I wonder what his tendons look like, and his hip bones, but I feel like he jumps high due to the elastic properties of his tendons and bones in his hips.

As a result of his elastic and probably stiff tendons, he may be able to develop a lot of force, but to think they come from his muscles is just plain wrong. The tendons are the structures that allow the muscles to stretch and produce the force. I read some papers on thsi stuff while ago I forget now.

Also whoever said his flexibility may hinder his performance needs a reference. I understand that acutely stretching hinders power output. But improving fleixbility in the long run usually increases musclee strength.
