Why would someone good at 50m not be good at 100m? or 200m?

Water is hard to move through. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5568094&forum_id=2#47917064) |

Date: August 1st, 2024 11:10 AM Author: red half-breed senate there is no 50M event. but even if there were, it would very heavily favor those who get the quickest start out of the blocks since the race would be so short. The quickest starter isn't always the person who wins the 100M and 200M. See e.g. Usain Bolt winning almost every race in the last 1/3 of the 100M.

Date: August 1st, 2024 1:29 PM Author: Spectacular Splenetic Telephone It's exactly the same as track and field - aerobic capacity. It is the difference between running 100M and running 800M or 1600M. While it's not quite the difference between a sprint and a marathon there is a reason you have middle-distance specialists. And bear in mind that the pace of a one-miler and a marathon runner are not that different - about 40 seconds slower per mile. A 2-hour marathon time is the equivalent of running a 17-second 100M more than 400 times in a row.
In track and field, aerobic capacity is not nearly as important for 100/200M because the oxygen you breath as you start the race does not make it to your bloodstream until after the race is finished. It takes about 40 seconds, which is the reason you have 800M specialists - running top speed for 90 seconds is aerobically completely different than running 200M. At the 1600M distance it is more of a race against the pack.
So the same is true in swimming. Swimmers don't even really need to breathe for the 50M, but your pace and breathing for the 400/800/1600 are extremely important. |
