Chapter 18 I didn't expect the chapter name to be this chapter
The starter pulled the trigger, and at the same time as the starting gun rang out, some smoke appeared above the muzzle.
The starter was not a professional starting pistol, but a real revolver, except that it was supposed to be filled with empty cartridges instead of potassium nitrate starting bullets.
In this era of warlord scuffle, it was easy to find a Smith-Wesson revolver, but it was impossible to find a professional starting pistol. And the price of empty cartridges is also much cheaper than starting bullets.
And the five athletes on the track also moved with the sound of gunfire.
"It's so slow!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.
This "so slow" does not refer to the speed, but the starting reaction time.
In world-class track and field competitions, the starting reaction time of 100-meter sprinters is about 0.165 seconds, and if it can reach 0.15 seconds, it is considered fast, and if it exceeds 0.18 seconds, it is considered slow, and if the starting reaction time is slower than 0.2 seconds, it is a very failed start.
Of course, this is the standard of the world's top sprinters, and such a starting speed can only be seen in international competitions, and ordinary professional athletes cannot achieve such a fast starting reaction time.
In his previous life, when Chen Qiang was a professor at the University of Physical Education, a graduate student of the school once did a study on the starting reaction time, and the school found 200 athletes to test the starting reaction time.
These test subjects all have the midstream level of national second-level athletes, which means that their level exceeds the standard line of national second-level athletes, but they do not have enough strength to impact national first-class athletes. Finding 200 such athletes is not a difficult task for a sports university.
The results of the test show that the starting reaction time of the second-level athletes in these countries is basically about 0.4 seconds, the faster ones can reach 0.35 seconds, and the slower ones will not exceed 0.5 seconds.
In order to make a comparison, the graduate student also tested the starting reaction time of ordinary people, and the starting reaction time of ordinary people who have not undergone professional sports training is about 0.7 seconds. In other words, the starting reaction time of national second-level athletes is 0.3 seconds faster than that of ordinary people.
That 0.3 seconds is the difference between an average person and an athlete.
Don't underestimate the 0.3 second gap, in the 100-meter sprint race, you may not be able to see it when you start 0.3 seconds slower, but when you reach the end, 0.3 seconds slower is about to be thrown out of the distance of four or five meters, I believe that many people's living rooms are not five meters long.
Trained sprinters have sufficient leg strength, while those who have not undergone physical training do not even have the strength required to reach the standard squat start.
Because the squat start requires sufficient "fast strength" in the legs, the fast force will affect the speed of muscle contraction. Ordinary people have no need for fast strength in their lives, and only professional physical training will train fast strength.
In addition, the distribution of the body's center of gravity is also a factor that affects the starting reaction time. Professional sprinters have more finger strength and can perfectly distribute their weight during a squatting start.
But if you're not Taka Kato, there's no place in your daily life where finger power is used.
Therefore, ordinary people have poor finger strength, and they can't afford the weight of their bodies at all, let alone maintain the center of gravity of their bodies.
The four competitors from Fudan High School are obviously ordinary people who have not undergone professional training, and their starting reaction time is the same as that of ordinary people, 0.7 seconds.
It's up to 0.7 seconds of starting reaction time, and it's negligible after the second decimal place!
As for the Japanese runner, although he has been trained for professional sprinting, his reaction time for the start is almost 0.7 seconds, because his squatting start is not standardized. In other words, the law that the athlete's starting reaction time is faster than that of ordinary people does not work for him.
In the era when squatting starts have not yet been popularized, how can anyone specialize in how to reduce the starting reaction time!
Bad squatting start, bad starting reaction time, and then Chen Qiang saw a bad acceleration again!
"Sure enough, as I expected, the squatting start in this era is just for the start!" Chen Qiang sighed again in his heart, but this time, Chen Qiang had already been mentally prepared.
I saw that the five runners in the field immediately puffed up their chests and began to accelerate after the start. If this is placed in the future generations, it will definitely be a wave of wrong operations.
In the future 100-meter sprint race, athletes will lower their heads and lean forward to accelerate after starting, and basically after 20 steps, their heads will be fully lifted and their bodies will be straightened. Specifically, it depends on the cadence of the athlete
But in this day and age, athletes hold their heads up and their chests straight after the start. From a technical point of view, this simply does not work out the effect of a squatting start.
The reason why Chen Qiang had expected this was because he had watched the documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, including a video of the 100-meter sprint final.
The men's 100-meter sprint was won by legendary sprinter Jesse Owens, and all the sprinters at that time raised their heads in three steps, that is, they didn't need three steps after the start to raise their heads.
There are two starting methods, the future is to lower the head and lean forward with the center of gravity leaning forward for 20 steps, which will maximize the role of squatting start; In the twenties, it was three steps after the start and raised its head. Acceleration is not at all on the same level, and the difference between the two is a few tenths of a second.
With just a squat start, athletes in this era are at least 0.5 seconds slower.
In terms of sprinting skills, these five competitors have too much to improve, and many Chen Qiang are too lazy to complain.
It's just that compared to speed, it's really that Masao Yamazaki who is better!
……
Without any sprinting training, 100 meters can run in less than 13 seconds, in this era, although Deng Zhiguo can not be regarded as a sprinting genius, but it can be regarded as a sprinting event can be regarded as a material for sprinting.
As the fastest runner at Fudan High School, Deng Zhiguo's goal today is, of course, to win the 100-meter dash championship. However, with the arrival of the Japanese, Deng Zhiguo had another goal, that is, to defeat the Japanese.
That Masao Yamazaki was not tall, but he looked quite sturdy, so Deng Zhiguo did not underestimate the enemy, and when the gun rang out, he took out 100% of his strength and began to accelerate the sprint.
At ten meters, the two were evenly matched.
At twenty meters, the two were neck and neck.
At 30 meters, the two were indistinguishable.
At 40 meters, the two were still going hand in hand.
Deng Zhiguo was a little surprised in his heart, he knew that Masao Yamazaki's speed was definitely not slow, but Deng Zhiguo never thought that Masao Yamazaki's speed was on par with his own.
What Deng Zhiguo didn't expect was that at fifty meters, Masao Yamazaki actually surpassed him by half of his body!
"How is it possible, he is faster than me!" Deng Zhiguo was shocked.
With a high school student's age running in 13 seconds, Deng Zhiguo should be the fastest high school student in Shanghai, so Deng Zhiguo has a conceited capital.
But this conceit only applies domestically, and the 13-second result is not even up to the entry score of a professional sprinter.
In 1929, the Chinese had never been on the Olympic stage, and the Far Eastern Games were the highest level of sports in which the Chinese had ever participated. Only three countries, China, Japan and the Philippines, will participate in the Games, with Siam occasionally participating.
The Far Eastern Games are the highest level of awareness of sports for ordinary Chinese people, who do not know what the world record is, let alone how powerful foreign high-level athletes are.
After the Second Opium War, the Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world had gone bankrupt, and the Chinese began to truly understand the world and understand foreign economies, cultures, science and technology, military and so on. But in sports, the Chinese are still working behind closed doors, and even the first National Games in old China was hosted by a foreign priest named Esnell.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Deng Zhiguo is like a "genius disciple" cultivated by some sects in those Xianxia novels, how old ago he built the foundation, how old ago Jin Dan, he was quite good in his own sect, and his younger brothers and sisters all came to hug his thighs, but once he got to what "sect competition" and met the masters of other sects, he instantly realized that he was just a scumbag.
……
"Deng Zhiguo, come on! Deng Zhiguo, come on! ”
The students of Fudan High School shouted in unison.
But the high-pitched cheers can't make up for the difference in strength.
After 50 meters, Masao Yamazaki began to gradually lead, and by the time he passed 70 meters, there were already four Fudan players on the sidelines chasing Masao Yamazaki.
"The big picture is decided!" Chen Qiang shook his head silently, he had already guessed that there would be this result. In terms of sprinting talent, Deng Zhiguo may be stronger than Masao Yamazaki, but Masao Yamazaki has received formal sprinting training, which is not an ordinary talent that can make up for it. Of course, if it's Bolt's kind of talent, he can win by running with his eyes closed.
Finally, Masao Yamazaki was the first to cross the finish line. And he is several meters ahead of the second-place Deng Zhiguo.
The cheering around also stopped abruptly, and the students of Fudan High School, who were originally very confident in Deng Zhiguo, had stopped speaking at this time.
Four people against one person, Fudan actually lost!
Deng Zhiguo, the fastest runner in Fudan High School, actually lost!
In the next second, there was a lot of discussion.
"What's going on, how could Deng Zhiguo lose?"
"That Masao Yamazaki is a head shorter than Deng Zhiguo, and he is so much faster than Deng Zhiguo!"
"Maybe it's just an accident, maybe Deng Zhiguo is playing abnormally."
"It's just that one person is out of character, but is it true that the other four people are also out of character?"
It was at this time that the referee in charge of timing at the finish line gave the results of the runners.
"1st place, Masao Yamazaki, 12.8 seconds"
"Second place, Deng Zhiguo, 13.2 seconds!"
For Deng Zhiguo, whose best time can run into 13 seconds, this time he ran a 13.2 seconds, which is considered a normal performance.
And Masao Yamazaki can not only run under 13 seconds, but also run 12.8 seconds!
In the next second, everyone looked at Masao Yamazaki with an incredible gaze.
Everyone realized that this Japanese who came to smash the field was really fast enough!
really responded to that sentence, it's not that the Raptors are not the river!
