why do black people run faster than most other races like white people?

Answer 1

Its all to do with red and white twitch fibres, red for slow (endurance) and white for fast (short burst and fast).

Muscle fibre
Our muscles are made of fibres which have two main types according to their function. These are known as red (slow-twitch) fibres and white (fast-twitch) fibres.

Red slow-twitch fibres obtain energy by utilizing glucose in the presence of oxygen and that enables them to develop force slowly and to maintain contractions longer. They are relatively non-fatiguable.

White fast-twitch fibres are capable of developing greater force and faster contraction and are fatiguable. They obtain energy rapidly by utilizing glucose without oxygen. They tire quickly because the utilized glucose produces exhaust in the form of lactic acid. This by-product gives us aching muscles after strenuous exercise. The more fit we become, the more quickly the blood flow removes the lactic acid from our muscles and the less pain we suffer.

Red and white muscle tissue
We are equipped with three types of skeletal muscles. We are held together by postural muscles, moved by mover muscles and exert power with strength muscles. What distinguishes these types of muscle is the proportion of red slow-twitch or white fast-twitch fibres they contain.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

There are some things that come from mother nature.
In Africa people more close to nature. They more often use their naturally style of life. They hunt their meal: they travel to get water or fish or some animals. That's why they always trainee themselves to run and survive.
Some of them even don't have TV to sleep near and make their life lazy.
You know that in Africa there is a group of people that cant go slowly as they run always. I know that many runer are from these group of people.

Answer 3

A taboo topic. It is surprising how many African athletes win marathons, but you can't really comment on it. I have heard that Africans have by far the largest amount of DNA variation on earth simply because the rest of us, europeans, asians, etc., are descendants of only one small group of Africans that left Africa after the ice age. Therefore, it might make sense that in Africa you could find some of the best athletes in the world and some of the worst, because you will find a larger variety of physical types. However, I am opening myself up to criticism here, so I'll shut up.

Answer 4

Its genetics. also we did not experience horses like that we used our ft we've organic builds. White people have continually wore heavy outfits and and so on. Heavy armor and all of that thats the way you spot they are in many situations Taller(Netherlands is 6'2 on average) and thats why they have various of more advantageous body skill. The fastest people on earth were of African descent for decades. Its not gonna replace each and every time quickly

Answer 5

Being rather fleet of foot myself (in a younger year) and having been exposed to only a (very) few physically slow blacks over the years I would have to say that it is a function of genetics (inherent muscularity) and conditioning (frequent exercise).

Answer 6

Because their ancestors had to run in the woods everyday to escape the big white hunter with his 302.

As this went on for centuries, their body changed through evolution. They grew tall with long muscled legs. Which is why today they can out run any white boy with a gun or not.

White boys can't jump, nor run.

Same goes for the girls by the way.
Anyone remembers Cathy Freeman?

Answer 7

I think becuase black people have originated from Africa aand so their genes are developed to the hard conditions in africa(heat)

Answer 8

If it makes you feel any better, I can't run for sh!t and I'm black...

Answer 9

Maybe the lions & tigers ate all the slow one's.

Answer 10

maybe it's because they are Genetically better for sports.
