The starter pulled the trigger, and while the starting gun sounded, some smoke appeared above the muzzle.
The starter used not a professional starter gun, but a real revolver, but it should be filled with empty bullets, rather than potassium nitrate bullets.
In this era of warlords' melee, it is easy to find a Smith-Wisson revolver, but it is impossible to find a professional starting gun. The price of empty bullets is much cheaper than that of starting bullets.
The five athletes on the track also started to move with the gunfire.
"So slow!" Chen Qiang said in his heart.
This "very slow" does not mean speed, but start reaction time.
In world-class track and field competitions, the starting reaction time of a 100-meter sprinter is about 0.165 seconds. If it can reach 0.15 seconds, it is considered fast, and if it exceeds 0.18 seconds, it is considered slower. If the starting reaction time is slower than 0.2 seconds, it is a very failed start.
Of course, this is the standard for the world's top sprinters. Only in international competitions can you see such a starting speed. Ordinary professional athletes cannot achieve such a fast starting reaction time.
When Chen Qiang was a professor at the Sports University in his previous life, a graduate student at the school once conducted research on the starting reaction time. At that time, the school found 200 athletes to test the starting reaction time.
These test subjects all have the mid-level level among national second-level athletes, which means that their level must exceed the national second-level athletes' standard, but they do not have sufficient strength to impact national first-level athletes. Finding 200 such athletes is not difficult for a sports university.
The test results show that the starting reaction time of second-level athletes in these countries is basically around 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. 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.
These 0.3 seconds are the gap between ordinary people and athletes.
Don’t underestimate the 0.3-second gap. In the 100-meter sprint race, it may not be visible if it starts at 0.3 seconds, but when it reaches the finish line, 0.3 seconds slows is about four or five meters away. I believe that many people’s living rooms are not five meters long.
Training sprinters have sufficient leg strength, while those who have not been trained in sports cannot even meet the strength requirements of standard squatting starting.
Because squatting start requires sufficient "fast strength" in the legs, and fast strength will affect the speed of muscle contraction. Ordinary people have no need for fast strength in their lives, and only professional sports training can 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 relatively large finger strength, and they can perfectly allocate the center of gravity during squatting starts.
But if you are not Kato Eagle, there is no place in your daily life to use finger strength specifically.
Therefore, ordinary people have poor finger strength and cannot afford the weight of their bodies at all, and cannot maintain the center of gravity of their bodies.
The four contestants from Fudan High School are obviously ordinary people who have not received professional training. Their starting reaction time is the same as that of ordinary people, 0.7 seconds.
It’s already 0.7 seconds of starting reaction time, so I’ll ignore it after the second decimal point!
As for the Japanese athlete, although he has undergone professional sprint training, the starting reaction time is about 0.7 seconds, because his squat-style starting is not standardized. In other words, the starting reaction time of an athlete is faster than that of an ordinary person. This law does not work for him.
In the era when squatting and starting is not yet popular, how could someone specialize in studying how to reduce the starting reaction time?
Bad squat start and bad start reaction time, then Chen Qiang saw bad acceleration again!
"As long as I expected, the squat-style start of 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 the five players on the field, immediately raised their chests and started to accelerate after the start. If this were to be included in the future, it would definitely be a wrong operation.
In the future 100-meter sprint competition, athletes will start after starting, lower their heads and lean forward in accelerating. Basically, they will not be able to fully lift their heads and straighten their bodies. Specifically, it depends on the athlete's pace frequency.
But in this era, athletes immediately raise their heads and chests after starting. From a technical perspective, this simply cannot achieve the effect of a squat-starting start.
The reason why Chen Qiang had long expected this was because he had watched the documentary of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, one of which was a video of the 100-meter sprint final.
The legendary sprinter Jesse Owens won the men's 100-meter sprint championship in that year. At that time, all sprinters raised their heads in three steps, which means they couldn't use three steps after starting, so they raised their heads.
There are two ways to start. In the future, you will be to lower your head and lean forward with your center of gravity down to maximize the role of squatting starting; in the 20s, you will raise your head three steps after starting. The acceleration is not on the same level at all, and there is a gap of 0:00 seconds between the two.
With just a squat starting, athletes of this era will be at least 0.5 seconds slower.
From the perspective of sprinting technology, these five contestants have too many things to improve, and Chen Qiang is too lazy to complain about it.
But compared to speed, Masao Yamazaki is really better!
...
Without any sprint training, he can run within 13 seconds in 100 meters. In this era, although Deng Zhiguo cannot be regarded as a sprint genius, he is also a craftable material for sprint events.
As the fastest running person at Fudan High School, Deng Zhiguo's goal today is of course to win the 100-meter sprint championship. However, with the arrival of the Japanese, Deng Zhiguo has another goal, which is to defeat the Japanese.
The Masao Yamazaki was not tall, but looked quite strong, so Deng Zhiguo did not underestimate the enemy. When the gunfire sounded, he took out 100% of his strength and began to accelerate the sprint.
Ten meters, the two were equally matched.
Twenty meters away, the two of them drove side by side.
At thirty meters, it is hard to tell the difference between the two.
At forty meters, the two of them still advanced together.
Deng Zhiguo was a little surprised. He knew that Masao Yamazaki was definitely not slow, but Deng Zhiguo never thought that Masao Yamazaki's speed was comparable to that of him.
Even when Deng Zhiguo unexpectedly, at 50 meters, Masao Yamazaki actually surpassed him half his body!
"How is that possible? He is faster than me!" Deng Zhiguo was shocked.
With the age of a high school student, Deng Zhiguo should be the fastest high school student in Shanghai, so Deng Zhiguo has the capital to be proud of.
However, this kind of self-confidence is only applicable to China, with a score of 13 seconds and cannot even achieve the entry-level results of professional sprinters.
In 1929, the Chinese had never appeared on the Olympic stage. The Far East Games were the highest-level sports meetings that Chinese people have ever participated. Only three countries, China, Japan and the Philippines, participated in this game, and occasionally Siam would participate.
The Far East Sports Games are the highest perception of sports by ordinary Chinese people. They don’t know what the world record is, and they don’t know how powerful high-level athletes abroad are.
After the Second Opium War, the Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world had gone bankrupt. The Chinese began to truly understand the world, understand the economy, culture, technology, military, etc. in foreign countries. However, in sports, the Chinese were still working behind closed doors. Even the first National Games in the old China was hosted by a foreign pastor named Aisnell.
It is no exaggeration to say that Deng Zhiguo is now like a "genius disciple" trained by some sects in fairy tale novels. He built the foundation before he was aged and the golden elixir was quite awesome in his sect. His junior brothers and sisters all came to hug him. However, once he reached a "sect competition" and met the masters of other sects, he instantly realized that he was just a scumbag in battle.
...
"Come on Deng Zhiguo! Come on Deng Zhiguo!"
The students of Fudan High School shouted in unison.
However, the high-pitched cheering can't make up for the gap in strength.
After fifty meters, Masao Yamazaki began to gradually lead. After seventy meters, four Fudan players on the sidelines were struggling to chase Masao Yamazaki.
"The overall situation has been decided!" Chen Qiang shook his head silently. He had already guessed that this result would be. In terms of sprint talent, Deng Zhiguo may be stronger than Masao Yamazaki, but Masao Yamazaki has received regular sprint training, which is not something that ordinary talents can make up for. Of course, if it is Bolt's talent, you can win if you run with your eyes closed.
Finally, Masao Yamazaki crossed the finish line first. He was several meters ahead of the second place Deng Zhiguo.
The cheering sounds around him also came to an abrupt end. The students of Fudan High School who were originally very confident in Deng Zhiguo had stopped talking at this time and stopped talking.
Four people against one person, Fudan actually lost!
Deng Zhiguo, who ran the fastest at Fudan High School, actually lost!
The next second, discussions rose.
"What's going on? How could Deng Zhiguo lose?"
"That Masao Yamazaki is shorter than Deng Zhiguo, and is actually much faster than Deng Zhiguo!"
"This may be just an accident. Maybe Deng Zhiguo performed poorly."
"It's fine if one person performs abnormally, are the other four people also perform abnormally?"
At this moment, the referee responsible for timing at the end gave the players' results.
"No. 1, Masao Yamazaki, 12 seconds 8"
"Second place, Deng Zhiguo, 13 seconds 2!"
For Deng Zhiguo, who had the best time to run into 13 seconds, running 13 seconds 2 this time is considered a normal performance.
And Masao Yamazaki can not only run within 13 seconds, but also run to 12 seconds 8!
The next second, everyone looked at Masao Yamazaki with an incredible gaze.
Everyone realized that this Japanese who came to smash the situation was really fast enough!
It really fits the saying, it’s not that the Raptors are not that the River!
