I was Nike clocked at a 4.38 going into college but was only good for 40-50 yards. I played in the secondary so the short distance speed was most important. I was never much at long distance runs. When I went through the police academy we had to run 1 3/4 miles in 10 minutes and 5 miles in 50 minutes. I had a terrible gate and struggled more with the 5 mile run.
Straight off the Mayo Clinic site:
Yes,, so explain how MOVing the lower leg lengthens It, when it doesNT bridge the knee
I've always been a slow runner for distance. Even when I was running a lot (for me, that meant more than 50 miles a week), I never got down to a 7-minute mile. On the soccer field, I was one of the fast ones.
Quadriceps tendon connects to the patella, which connects to the fibula via the patellar tendon. When the leg is bent, tension on the tendons transfers to the muscle.
o was asking him to back up his statement on the function of the quad, if your answering for him, what you've out doesn't answer the specific question and what you have put is incorrect, its straightening the leg that put tension on the muscle not bending it putting tension on the tendons, bending it puts tension. On the hamstring
That's backwards. When the quad muscle group tenses, it straightens the leg. When the leg bends, tension is placed on the quad muscle group. It's a simple effect.
I was one of the rare ones. I was able to sprint and distance run at a competitive pace. I'm not naturally built for distance so I had to "convert" my body to be better at running distance. My first 5k race time was 30 minutes. By the end of the year the time dropped to 25 minutes. After 3 years of competing (2 years of training ). My time dropped to 21 minutes. Had I taken it more seriously I would have been able to drop it even lower. For me, Cross Country running (our races were through woods, hiking trails and grass fields) was my training for track season, where I was a sprinter
There are those gifted to do both. In high school, our star all three years my brother was there (one year ahead of me), was our best at track (short distance) and cross country (longer distance). He was also one of the star soccer players. And a really nice guy, though I hate him for being so talented.
i know and you said the tendon places tension on the muscle and not as it is that the muscles places tension on the,tendons
ha ha ha.. sounds like my brother. Good at football, Great in wrestling, Good in Judo or BJJ (I can't remember which one he does). Excellent with people (kids and adults), Ran a marathon, rock climbs, does the mud races, excellent shape. Mountain bikes. He's pretty much a very active person and seems to become more active as he gets older. Even though he's my younger brother I look up to him and get inspired by a lot of what he does and has accomplished. As a teen and young adult he was the opposite. He went through a really rough spell in his 20's and I'm just glad he made it through. And it's good for me to have someone to look up to as well.There are those gifted to do both.

When the muscles is in use, that is correct. Not when the antagonistic muscle is bending the knee. Then, as the lower leg is pulled down, the tendon places tension on the muscle.
I like the way he puts a coAt on Bob foR added realism, that move he is practising will work very well if he is ever attacked by a 5ft guy with no Arms and terrible ballance
The Quad is the antagonistic muscle,, it doesn't bend the knee it straightens it ?????
You are correct. I was using the literal version of "antagonist" (roughtly, opposing), which is confusing in a kinesio context.
