hey everyone thanks for tuning into the performance lab don't forget to
subscribe below to the right for updates to new videos and a huge announcement coming up enjoy
we have another new breakdown for you today and it really took it's a comparison video of Christian
Coleman and she Carlie Richardson and what we want to do it just give them a little bit of
a background of what are some of the differences between sprinting as a male sprinter and sprinting
as a female female sprinters I feel like when you're watching these videos that there could
be you know female athletes that are watching these that might get a little bit confused and
you know what what can carry over to you know how there's printing and vice versa for male athletes
that might be watching a female sprinter you know might not be able to f with the same type
of you know overall information for the different genders so just i'll go ahead and give you guys a
little bit more information of you know what is gonna be the difference between a sprinter as a
male in sprinter as a female you know first thing that I would say is the you know two
people here Christian Coleman and she's already Richardson or both you the best this year in
terms of overall sprinting so you know just so you have a little bit more background of why
we chose these two they're also you know like I the reason to choose like Usain Bolt is because
he is just like a really tall person Gina so Christian Coleman's 5:9 Shikari Richards 5:1
so you know for both of them they're they're both around the average you know Christian
Coleman might be a little bit below average and Chikara term might actually be a little bit below
average as well for the the Irish winter so I think that they would end up you know working
out well so you know what go ahead get started and really what I want to be able to show you
guys is just what is the turnover look like you know cuz that's gonna be the big the big thing
so we can see we'll go right Lake here with Christian Coleman Reilly is touching at 1661
he's showing off at 1669
and touching back down at 1700 okay so you know 17 sorry so you can see
what that that overall turnover looks like there Harrison to Shakur Richard's
touching down 3385 off at 3393 which is back down at 34:26 so just off of the
initial looks like the overall contact time 0.08 and it's interesting um elsewhere it's
a little bit over 0.41 in comparison to 0.08 and 0.39 so a little bit of
a difference there now we'll go into the left leg - probably touching about 17 22
I will say Oh at 1730
which was like down pat 1762 so again point 4.08 and then with a left leg for Shikari as well 34:46
34:55 finishing up real quick for you guys I just want to be able to make it so you guys get
this real-time you guys know I'm not you know trying to fudge it or anything like that 3489
so this one ends up being about point four three and this one ends up being about point four so I
mean this really adds up being the big point is that you know as a female sprinter what's
gonna end up being a big thing is we've just been able just kind of seen this overall you
know I don't know exactly what the science is behind this but from my perspective with like
female sprinters females were gonna seem to have a little bit longer legs in comparison
to the rest of their body then male sprinters do right so you know just if you were a ratio
the overall body of a female sprinter for comparison to the ratio of a sprinter of
male sprinter the women would have a average a little bit longer leg length and because of
that that makes it so they have a little bit longer transition time it obviously doesn't
have a big impact on their actual contact time right because we saw that regarding Richards
was able to still maintain a really low 0.08 to 0.09 contact time but the transition time
was a few hundredths of a second difference and that ends up being a big difference here
you know in terms of overall spread Shikari Richards ran about 11 splat and I think that
you know in this one Christian Coleman ran about nine nine eight or something to run those lines
yeah sorry 981 see a nine eight one four four overall sprint and then should I return ran
eleven flat but something that she's gonna be able to get below that she's obviously she's you know
very very young and very much at the beginning of her overall development but I just think that that
understanding you know that that the transition times gonna be a lot of difference between you
know female athletes and compared to male athletes gonna be important in in your overall training
because now you know as a you know if you're not focused as much on the or if you're training and
you want to work on the improvement of transition time you know working to you know get to these
top level athletes for a female if you can get down to 0.4 or 0.4 to somewhere in there make a
better send to males where it's like point three five really 0.36 is gonna be the really good
transition table for males now Christian Coleman is obviously a little bit higher than that but
he has a really elite contact time so females you know you guys could really work on being able to
maximize contact time while males really being able to lower that transition time is gonna be
the big area that you can overall have the the biggest improvement into and and then another
thing that you want to make sure that your you're working on for I mean obviously again is gonna be
a thing for both both sides of the spectrum but because of how the leg ends up bending what a
female athlete is gonna have a little bit more susceptible problem to is gonna be like groin
hip flexor type of problems because of all the stress that's going on within the hamstring
where males are gonna have a little bit more of a likelihood of having like plantar fasciitis calf
hamstring type problems right not to say that that either one of them wouldn't have the the
other one but just understanding that you know from a athlete perspective that you know males
should really do a good job of stretching out the hamstrings having good good overall mobility and
stability there where females should really be able to have good overall range of motion and
control of the groin area and the hip flexors I mean there needs to be a lot of range there and
also good control of the pelvis because that area ends up being a little bit more errors for injury
in comparison to the the males as I just said so yeah as always guys if you guys have any questions
would be happy to answer these for you hopefully I don't know causing too much controversy with this
video but I just want to give a little bit more information on some of the difference between
male sprinters and female sprinters and you know how that applies to training how that applies to
overall times and expectations that you can put on yourself in terms of developing your
your overall sprinting speed and maximizing your overall efficiency when you sprint let me know if
you guys have any questions and we'll talk to you soon video I hope you really enjoyed it if
you did you could subscribe down below that way if you get updates on any of the new videos that
we get also if you want to check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing you have
exercises also jumping mechanics videos a lot of crazy stuff within our Channel hope you enjoy
